New member, i'll present myself a little bit !

My name's Benoit, 29yo and I'm from Montreal, Canada, working in the sign industrie as a infographist. My wife and I just moved in our first house in the begining of june. Since then, I spent many hours here to see different idea for my garage. A month ago, I started the makeover. Having not much time to work on, it will be a slow progress !

Ok, so here we go !

This is our house, first time we visited it:

and a few pics of the before:

This is the door for the backyard:

The shelve behind the workbench:

The stair to the inside of the house:

I have no pics with the paint yet, as it is not finished yet !

The wall in front of the stairs looks painted white but it's only the lightning that make this effect.

I'll post pictures as soon as the paint is finish !

Nice looking house man

And really love the toy, is that a custom color ?

eborcim · 11-04-2009, 01:08 PM

Show's how bad my eyes are...in the 2nd pic I thought you had SS sheeting on the wall!

The lighter color will make it a lot brighter

Cool car btw.

Yeah no SS Sheating.
It will be all white with a black workbench !

Awesome!Remember floor space is precious in a one car bay, building some eye level horizontal shelving is a possible solution. That will also allow you to do some under mount lighting which could look really cool glowing on the paint of your car. Just an idea. Good luck with the project and keep up the pics!
