Custom Garage for my Tacoma - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

Spent a nice Alberta summer fussing over my garage. The house is now a year old and the garage came drywalled and insulated. I was just going to do an epoxy floor and paint the walls, but I went all out. It didn't cost a whole lot as I was able to do all the work in my spare time. The hardest part was mudding and sanding; and it taught me to hire a pro to do my basement this fall!

G-floor from Costco
Torin tool box from Costco
Gorilla shelf unit from Costco
Cabinets from Canadian Tire
Check plate supplied and cut by Russel Metals

Looks real nice. Not my choice in colors but the work is all there. Nice job! Too much BLING for my taste

Great job!! I wish my two car looked like that. I still dream of having a 2000sf shop with 3 lifts

That's not too bad at all for a kick ass garage.

All you're missing is

Lift $2500

So true!!!!!!

Pretty sweet - I've been debating the checkerplate floor covering from Costco or the Epoxy Floor Coating. I have a floor drain which steers me away from the checkerplate - but the epoxy needs several days to cure and I don't want to leave the sport bikes, snow-blower, lawn mower, tool chest etc in the driveway open to thieves for a couple of days.

What were the dimensions of the Costco checker plate stuff? What do you like most? Least? Why did you opt from the Epoxy?

Anything to help me decide!
