My garage improvement
Discussion
Only took us over 4 years of living here to get around to starting to sort this!!! There’s still some touching up to do, and see what it looks like dry to decide on another coat or not. Deciding what to do about the manky floor and ceiling is for another day.
This gives you a vague idea of what it started like. Lots of crap and clutter to the right of the Focus and behind the Corvette
A couple from when we very first moved in
Then after a good clear out and tidy yesterday ready to paint
We have no idea what the weird graffiti is about!!
6 hours of tedious painting later
The Focus is getting tyres replaced so the garage is one car down until Friday
Still bits to do, but not a bad 48 hours.

Some inspiration for the ceiling and floor if you've not seen this before....

Any plans to do the floor? I painted mine using Epoxy and a polyaspartic clear top coat and it looks pretty good, and is rock hard. You can do some nice colours and patterns to jazz up the garage some more.
Yeah certainly want to do something. First job is seeing how easy or hard it’s going to be to lift up the manky carpet that’s there I'm wondering if yellow and green would be cool or awful?

Damn, you got there before me!We assumed that for some reason the people who owned it before decided that was a good way to commemorate a dead family member or friend etc.
