A REAL MAN'S GARAGE

Yeah most people forget this is a real room, and mistake it for a dumping ground of lawn tools, gardening supplies and holiday knickknacks.  We have made some vast improvements to get the garage up to par with the rest of the house.  Now its functional and we have added a ton of usable storage.

Before:

Now we have added white paint to all the walls.  Bill spent another weekend sealing the concrete floor.

The last couple of weekends, Bill has bought more tools to build his own work bench (for more projects).  The work bench would not have happened if it wasn't for the KREGG Jig.  By far the best tool in the business to create easy pocket joints to join pieces of wood together.  After seeing John and Sherry use one on their website Young House Love, we had to get it.  Look how cool this tool is:

This workbench is Bill's pride and joy.  With lots of love, we built the frame, spray painted it and even changed up the design to add a bottom shelf to it.

Even I got in on the action.  I look like a pro with my dusk mask on.  Yeah I am wearing a very ridicolous sweatshirt (Don't Judge).

This is the work bench with about 2 layers of black spray paint.  Bill wanted both workbenches to match (how cute).

I know the suspense has been killing you.  Here is the one part of the garage.  There is still some work to do alongside the other two walls.  Hint: (1) Cabinet for recyclables; (2) bike rakes, (3) Hose hook.  Next weeks agenda once Bill comes back from Wisconsin.
