You have some work ahead of you

It will be a sanctuary when you`re done though.

[holland_patrick]

You`ll know sean I told you that you`ll have the please of working in it when i`m done for all the help you have given me..

plus i want to learn your ways young master.

[jaybs02]

That space definately has potential.
Have you done a layoutout yet... If not, see if you can find one of those floorplan programs. It will save you headaches in the longrun.
I`m sure when you finish you will have one sweet area to work in.

Are you doing anything to the floor?

[holland_patrick]

Yes I found a tile product for home depot I have the pic`s on my home computer of it But I forgot the camera at home even though i brought the CF card with me. it`s call multy-tile it goes for .89 a sq ft 8.99 for ten. I figured it will cost me about 500 just for the floor then I`m going to be getting a few cabinets for that back wall one Large stand up one and then three to go near the door just to the right bench were the peg board is. (which you can`t see) but i`m leaving room to work my skis on my bench still then under those cabinets (there will be two stacked on each other) a five draw rolling tool box they should fit nice on top of each other and a nice place to to rool around and keep the detailing supplies right at hand. also I KNOW I NEED MORE LIGHTING... So i`m doing the track lighing around the permiters of the garage doors they will be a mix of normal and halogen so i should be able to get a nice light and I can move then so that is a plus I`m looking to sopend a 1000 in total I hpe i can keep it under buget..

What are you doing with all of that extra stuff? I was just wondering because I will soon be doing the same thing in my house and was trying to decide wether I should throw out a bunch or not.

[holland_patrick]

[holland_patrick]
