First step, remove everything from the garage and put it in a "Pod". Since that name was taken, they called theirs "Packrat". The truck that delivered it was like a giant forklift. It can even do this maneuver with the pod full of stuff.
This is what it looked like full. Typical garage stuff.
Then, they put three coats on the floor. Before and after pictures. I had thrown away money painting my floor with the Home Depot stuff that peels off pretty quickly. Would not recommend that route.
Finally, the cabinets were installed.
The final product is still a work in progress. Another reason to make things look better is because this is the main entrance to our house for most people. Others have to walk all the way around to the front door. It's also a lot more functional. I can find stuff in a hurry. So there you have it, from ugly to pretty good looking.
Kern,
ReplyDeleteDid they carry out all the old stuff into the pod? I'm assuming you put it back. The pictures look like something from a magazine (that's always said to be a good thing). Congratulation! Looks great. Phil

ReplyDeleteMom and I admire the way you always do things right, and you are correct that this is the first impression of your house, and well worth to make it pleasant and uncluttered.
This afternoon I am doing a similar remake on our dungeon/Lab/Shop. I'm putting in 4 3' X 7' shelves for storage. We can finally open all the rest of our boxes....
