Mick,

I really think it depends on the size of your garage and if you really want to invest some money in it.

For example, if your planning on living there for a long time then why not epoxy the floors in a nice grey epoxy. Have it professionally done like what you would find in commercial garages. (I've heard the DIY versions don't hold up that well) Also place ultra white flourescents througout the ceiling for adequate lighting.

I always tell me wife that once I have a big enough garage I'm going to put a tv up on the wall, decorate a section with Automobile memorobilia and put some couches in there. Then I could have friends over and talk shop and even work on the cars at the same time. Hell maybe I'll even throw a small fridge in there and lets not forget the radio!

As far as tools, you can set up some cabinets up high and out of the way for your larger tools and have a nice roll around tool chest for the sockets, screw drivers wrenches etc.......

Personally my wife thinks I'm crazy so you may not want to persue my ideas. We're starting to look for houses again and one of my prerequisites is at least a full size two car garage if not three!
