Turned the garage into a man-cave!

[Nicky Pass]

When I bought my house last year, the garage was a mess! There was flimsy plywood with a "wood" print on it covering the walls and the ceiling was was exposed trusses. So I spent some of my home buyer credit to finish the garage.

I had the whole thing dry walled...the walls were already insulated. I had 8 can lights put in, 4" rubber baseboard, 3 more outlets and they primed it with white ceiling paint. Then I taped off the bottom and a 5" stripe and painted it red and gray.

Here is the end result....
I stayed up painting until 1am last night to finish...

Looks Good! Love the ape hangers on the bike.

looks good, do something with the floor. Paint it or something, that will complete it.

I see the pics from before but where are the man cave pics? (bar, flat screens, neon signs)

Nice job! +2 on the previous post about the man cave.

kinda weird for it to have that little cubby hole in the back.. the rest looks good though.

Looks great. Any plans for cabinets, shelving, or a bench?

Looks like a regular garage to me, i see no man cave.

Looks like a nice garage though.

The way you did the paint job look sick. nice work!!!

The walls and ceiling came out really nice. The floor is an absolute must-do now. I'm sure you're planning on doing something with it. A nice light gray with red flakes would look awesome. Great bike you have there, too.

I'm going to put my old Onkyo receiver and DCM speakers in there....I'm not gonna do a permanent TV.....one Chicago winter would probably kill it! I'm gonna run a splitter off of the box in the kitchen and bring a TV out if I want.

That cubby hole was created because the owners before me added a wall of cabinets and some more counter space....thats what that bump out is from. I'm gonna make the cubby hole my storage area.

checkered floor like mine.... mines painted, 24"x24" squares.

clean, lay chalk lines, lots of tape, paint away

i put cable tv in mine too.

i cleaned everything out to paint my floor. and i like it like that, i might not bring all of my stuff back in.
i had metal warehouse shelves (racks) on each wall and it took up too much room.
so i'm just gonna get a few toolboxes on wheels and keep them pushed in one corner.
then i wanna use the rest as a paint booth. i have a huge roll of plastic to lay on the floor while painting.
i have to seal in my roof real good because dust gets in the garage real bad.

Nice garage. Wouldn't call it a mancave though

It looks great, now do an epoxy floor or something.
