Thanks but you always want what you don't have!! I want the 4 bay garage, would kill for it. I just have a single and with three cars it's going to be a headache! That's reason number one I wanted to move.

Oh yeah. We’re a canopy city with a LOT of regulations. The permits needed just to start the conversation are nuts (but welcomed!)

These'd be a solid choice - just sayin'.

As for me, I live in ranch style house that was built in the 70s. Some parts of the house were already updated (nothing crazy) while other parts need to be update. I want to learn as much as I can over the years, and this thread definitely serves as a motivation. Since I'm single and live there alone, I'm never in a giant rush and just do bit by bit.

Don't have any pictures from inside the house, it is truly nothing special. But the previous owner built a detached 4 bay garage that's 24x44. No power, so it's essentially just a giant basic shed. I like to browse GarageJournal, and mine is nothing compared to some of those buildings. But I started painting the walls a few months ago, but have not done any progress at all:

This garage is amazing

Recently remodeled my master bath. All the work was done by yours truly...

It took a while but I took my time and worked at my leisure when I had some free time and over weekends. We hadn't used the bathroom even once since we bought the house 3 years ago because it was just atrocious. Toilet originally had mold in it (which was resolved but we still didnt even want to use it) vanity was falling apart, shower base wouldn't come clean after multiple scrubbings etc.

I always loved the look of marble so I decided to go with that, especially since it is a small bathroom, the cost even in very nice material was not ridiculous. Anyway, please see a few pics here. I'll add some finished ones in another post.

Savageenterprise · 07-31-2020, 04:07 PM

Finished pic. It wont let me add more for some reason

Alfisti · 07-31-2020, 10:35 PM

That looks great, well done.

ToddBlack88 · 07-31-2020, 11:36 PM

Love the floor tile work

Thanks. Yeah, since I was doing mostly the same tile on the walls, floor and shower I decided to do a herringbone pattern on the floor. Definitely makes it pop a little more

Savageenterprise · 08-01-2020, 11:02 AM

Finally got the other photos to upload. I also did a small hexagon marble for the top half of the vanity wall to the ceiling and the same patter in the shower box.

lsturbointeg · 08-01-2020, 11:07 AM

guess the garage is part of house projects right? finished the garage finally! just a few samples i took out of the box. but black, royal blue, graphite and alloy

lsturbointeg · 08-12-2020, 04:35 PM

now that MPACT is over i can put some energy back into the house. here's what i was able to get done in the basement

got the spray texture done on the wall that i replaced using my compressor and hopper

ceiling masked off and walls are all ready for paint! they are currently light green

and painted!

lsturbointeg · 08-12-2020, 04:39 PM

Great Job! Did you do it yourself or hire a contractor?

The wife and I just picked up a huge house project. We signed on a new house from a custom builder on Friday. The house is about half-finished so it cut down on wait time to completion, but we'll still get to pick all the finishes. We're hoping for a December completion date.

Current state:

Marmugmotleocay · 08-13-2020, 11:12 AM

Having a new furnace and A/C unit installed today. The original set was 20 years old and still working. I wanted to be ahead of it dying at the wrong time. The new A/C unit is HUGE.

NYC535iowner · 08-13-2020, 12:21 PM

WOW I feel so bad. I see all you guys here doing all this beautiful work to your houses/ apartments and I hardly can get started on any small thing in my apartment..
One thing about me is that if I don't have the right tools to do the work I get angry and I quit. I am usually a great helper not a leader, someone to take the initiative.

My wife in the other hand is the one that she will get mad at ME and just start doing things herself.

hooligan_G01 · 08-17-2020, 01:30 PM

Renos are finally done! They just hung the range hood last Monday.

Before/after below - "before" pics are from the MLS listing when we bought the house a little over a year ago.
