It sure does. I'm not wasting any time either. I started renovating today. Took out the kitchen cabinets. And I also took out a half-wall. I'll post pics tomorrow if people really wan to see the pictures but I don't think it would be right to start a house renovation thread on a car board.

Ah who cares go right on ahead! We're all friends here and would most likely enjoy something a little different.

I hear Jerry makes cabinets out of spare car parts, you should check with him.
Congrats looks good, love the garage.

I agreee..
 
also, even though the carpet and the tile's brand new.. and i would hate to tear it up but I think the entire thing can benefit from a uniform floor through the whole section

Breaking those new tools in I see. :D
What's with the strip of tile against the wall. I guess there's no turning back now......I suppose you want new custom made cabinets now.

I have no idea what's with those tiles.. maybe they just stuck the extras under there, there really is no purpose to them and yes custom cabinets for sure. after taking the old ones down i found that the only good thing about them was pretty much the doors.

Hardwood is the way to go... Gives a really nice look.. I hear Lumber Liquidators have really really good prices... ( I work there)

I have hardwood floors in my living room and LOVE them. The stuff in my house is 1" thick oak from when the house was built in 1956. I had them refinished about 2 months after I moved in. If you want a pic I'll snap some. The floors weren't stained just sealed and coated.

If you are getting a dog you don't want hardwood. Especially a big dog. Trust me :hick:
