Back in late June I bought new "used" house - I got tired of "townhouse" living and I hated my Daily Driver being outside all the time. So, the house I bought has an attached two car garage, AND an oversized detached two plus car garage, dubbed the'Toy Box' for the SS's to reside in.

Well, FINALLY, encouraged by Mark, we cleaned out the garage, bought and installed new cabinets and countertops, got a fridge for the required refreshments, hung some shelves, cut the remainder of the Race Deck and unpacked all the boxes. Plus hung some required Camaro decor. Now it is a proper home for the SS's [Smile]

Heres some pics . .

Still not complete, but a far cry better than it was.

Looks great! Nice stable for the horses!

I love the rear panel on the wall with the light behind it. [Big Grin]

I'm still trying to find the energy to unpack the boxes cluttering the third part of our third car garage. It's only been a couple months hehehe. [Roll Eyes]

I did, however, hang the Camaro posters on the FIRST day. [Cool]

Thanks everybody. Mark was very intrumental it getting it as far as it is. Still need to work on insulating the ceiling, and getting a heat source.

The floor as Teri says is Race Deck. Hard plastic tiles. Neat stuff, damned expensive, and I do not like it fo a "working" floor under the cars, a little uncomforatble and the wheeled jack gets stuck it the ridges.

Here's a veiw from "Blue's" side:

Thanks again. Come on by, the beer is cold! [Smile]

Add a cot, cable TV, a shower, who would need a house? You could probably rent the house and live in the garage!

Nice set up Andy!
