Default I finished my Harley's Home/Man Cave!

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...

Good job! Now you can really start filling it up w/the fridge, bar, jacks, tool box, stuff hangin' on the walls...etc, etc, etc.

Nice job. I wish I could keep my garage looking like that all the time.

Looks great, before you fill it up you should consider a two part epoxy floor paint.

My man cave now contains 1 Harley, 1 Thunder Mountain, 1 garden tractor (snow blade and snow blower for the tractor), 1 log splitter, 2 chain saws, an old sleeper sofa (no I don't have to sleep out there if my wife gets mad), and a whole bunch of crap that's accumulated over the past 20 years.

Sweet Nicky! I have a man *corner* in the garage where my Harley sits, but its right next to the kids crap and the gardening stuff.

Kids bought me a sign for father's day last year tho, LOL. I park it right next to the jack.
