We almost have the house built and I’m looking for cabinet/shelving ideas for the garage. If you guys could post some pics of your garage/work/shop area, I would appreciate it. I pretty much know what I want, but you guys may have an idea that I didn’t think of, or just like better then mine own.

We are still about 2 months from moving in, but it’s never too soon to start planning for the garage. Already have the flatscreen and the fridge just waiting.

Cheers,
Brian

I'm in the process of getting my garage where I want it so no pix yet but there's some good ones on this site:
www.listaintl.com
You can't go wrong setting up your garage with Lista cabinets.
(You didn't say anything about a budget so don't blame sticker shock on me.)

I saw... I think it was Knuckleslammer's garage that had an interesting idea that never would have occured to me.

He had that cardboard that's often found on department store shelving with holes poked in it about every inch. Then you've got L-shaped brackets that fit into the holes. It provides extremely adjustable shelving that will actually hold a lot of bike parts or other oddly shaped objects without resorting to storing them in bins.

I'm not sure if I'm explaining it well, and I can't find a picture of what I'm talking about... :wonky2:

Metroracks might be a good option or maybe some rivit shelving for your storage needs. Then just build your own workbench...

Duh. It's pegboard.

Duh. It's pegboard.

Okay that's a joke...... right?

I used a combo of cheap wood shelving from IKEA, ELFA shelving, and Hyloft racks for the stuff that is seldom used.

Fridge modification was easy since these guys are just a few miles away.

Does this lens make my hips look big?

Once you go Lista, you'll never go back. I've got 4 that I scored from my last place of employment.
One thing that works really well for me is "Scripto" drawers. I think that's the brand???
Anyways, they are 4x6 drawers. Perfect for most smaller bike parts like seatposts and pedal. The larger parts go in rubbermaid bins. All this fits under my main work bench.

Things I wish I had done right the first time:
Good floor instead of living with concrete. Now that everything is in, I'm stuck with it.
Power: I kinda 1/2 assed the electrical.
Air: I've never gotten around to running proper hard air lines.

Looks nice. What did you guys use for flooring? And what about lighting? Those are the only two things I need to complete mine.

I used Armstrong VCT for my floor.

For lighting, I'm fully ghetto with two bare 300 watt builbs.

GT2's are turbo 477bhp/ 472tq.
GT3's are N/A 380bhp/ 285tq

I beleive it's an S as well unless you got a looks package but the calipers say it all!

The 997 GT3 is going to be one for the history books.

oh yeah sorry i dont read every single thread on ridemonkey....asshat

No, it's not an S, it's a stock looking Turbo.

An S would look the same but have yellow calipers and ceramic rotors.

 

[BKQuill]

First, let me say thanks guys for the all the great ideas, I really appreciate them.

Second,

yeah that pic is my new desktop.

Mine too! Sure the Porsche is nice, but it's the overall photo that impressed me. The car, the bike on top, the placement of the car, the lighting (and shadowing), everything just came together for a "real" photo. Nice!!

N/M getting my models mixed up, so much for being an employee of theirs.
