I just bought a new house in Kernersville and it has a sweet garage that is an upgrade from my old house. Let's see what you guys are operating with:beer:
It's about 34x24ft and I'm planning to paint the floor with some grey epoxy for starters.

Hit Craigslist and FB Marketplace looking for someone who has just upgraded their kitchen and has old cabinets and countertops for sale.... that's usually my first action setting up a new workspace...

Habitat for Humanity ReStores can also be a great source for inexpensive storage if you have one near you...

I have old kitchen cabinets with 3/4" subfloor top down one side of my garage.

I have 3 of these cabinets and love them. Catch them on sale and you can't beat the price.

Hanging Tool Cabinet

Amazing deals on this Hanging Tool Cabinet at Harbor Freight. Quality tools & low prices.

My garage is a walk out (drive out) basement, 2 bays with man door and extra width. The right bay will fit 2 vehicles in line. Left bay is the maintenance bay and closest to the work bench and tools.

Habitat is a good place to watch. I have seen all kinds of cabinets and storage things in them.
 
Nice yeah would be good to have some of those storage cabinets from harbor freight and habitat good idea! It's around 34x24ft in size insulated and has some attic space with pull down stairs. I'm planning to paint the floor with some grey epoxy before moving everything in. Also the house came with a good sized heavy duty shed and a large carport.

The moving guy wasn't impressed
 
Epoxy floor & painting the ceiling/walls or hanging some peg board will definitely bright up the place. I'd swap the fluorescent bulbs for LED replacements...brighter, cheaper & less components to fail (get the ones that don't need the ballast). What I think it really needs is a speakeasy style bar in the corner complete with a free piano!

Had to quote myself since I realized that was woods a few years ago. 8 pines and stumps gone the last couple years. Kinda proud I'm keeping the dream alive and making very slow progress.

Be careful what you use in the floor if you intend to weld in the garage.

I really need to prioritize fixing the loader, so I can move the air compressor, so I can get the tractor out, so I can clear the pasture, so i can get the meat birds out there, soo nvm think I'll just go back inside.. :laughing:
