Brett, nice job on the workbench. I recently finished making about 15' of workbenches with 2 built-in 42" HF toolboxes on one side. I have the heavy duty castors from the tool boxes if you want to add them to your workbench to make it mobile. I used rubber/vinyl floor liner from Home Depot to put over the top of the benches to keep them clean and protect the MDF underneath. Word of warning though, the material isn't gasoline-proof. I was able to score a damaged section of aluminum diamond plate and have it bent at a 90 degree angle, I installed this on one end of the work bench which is where are carburetor rebuilds or anything that involves liquids other than water will be done.
Mounted a 32" LED TV on a fully articulating mount for movies/porn /web surfing. Relocated my garage stereo speakers to each corner of the garage, sounds bangin!
Also built heavy duty shelves and installed them on the back and side walls. Since everything is made of 2x4's and OSB, I can put a ridiculous amount of weight on the shelves without worrying about them bending or breaking. Each shelf is lag bolted to studs so they ain't movin'! Also went through all the crap I had in my garage and had collected over the years and made two dump runs to get rid of it all, it's amazing how much stuff you collect and hoard over the years!
Bought a HF motorcycle lift table last weekend to make bike work easier...I'm up to 7 now...
3 cft beer fridge installed and built-in to workbench.
I consider this Garage Renovation 3.0...
Apparently I'm supposed to be renovating the house...but I spend more time in the garage. Maybe I should throw a cot in there and rent out the house....

Definitely need pics.
I put the remaining 17" of 3/4" pine underneath as a shelf. It's not fully flush, but good enough for gov work

I know...but the sanding of the dry wall deters me. Im lazy
Got the other bench finished today and put one coat of poly on it. Will apply three coats before it's all done, but gotta wait 6 hours in between coats.

I'll get some pics once my Tacoma is out of the garage and everything is put back in its place.
Looking at installing some z-wave outdoor sirens to work with my alarm system. Can't believe the company I bought the system from thinks only a siren built in to the keypad is the best option.
