WOW, there's the infamous "13" ball pein hammer wall . . . pure art. :drool:

The power points were put in place before I got the cabinets. Unfortunately they did not fit with the cabinets in place. As I posted above;

Originally I planned a battery charging station on a bench below that, but as the powerpoint actually stuck out 5mm once the cabinets were in place, I had to relocate the powerpoint to the end and set up the chargers on my shelving. I could have trimmed the bottom of the cabinet doors to suit...

Found these kitchen wall cabinets for a bargain price at a builders clearance. They were probably installed in a display home. Neat and tidy now! :thumbup:

Thanks again for the informative updates, looks like it will be a comfortable Xmas at your place this year! A couple of questions . . . Could you please take a close-up photo of how the Landscapers have tiled around the attached-roof support poles. As the poles were placed there first, the...

I have been following your build from the beginning and have thoroughly enjoyed all of your updates. Really like the attention to detail on so many different areas, a credit to you for keeping on top of things. Regarding the garage ceiling painting; maybe find a cheap electric spraygun that has...

Really like the colour scheme :thumbup:

Excellent news that your build is finally going ahead! Congratulations on getting though the planning stage. :beer:

Yes what a bummer indeed. :sad: Two sayings come to mind; "Oh well, back to the drawing board" or "Where there's a will, there's a way" Let's hope you get past this hurdle without too much stress. Good luck.

Where are the chickens . . . are they ok? :dunno: Thank you for a terrific read over the last couple of nights, and far better than sitting in front of the idiot box. I do like the simple lines and 'neatness' of your workshop style. Quite impressive what can develop from a somewhat tired...

Hello Nils and congratulations on an excellent design! I have never seen the pole/post system of neighbourhood pre-approval, but it does give the neighbours a clearer picture of the future house. If it is all within the correct rules they won't have anything to complain about . . . we hope...

I've owned the pre-Fuel sawzall which eventually siezed up and was replaced by the Fuel. Both models would handle your job, but as said previously, the blades are the crux. Having only Milwaukee brand blades, I find they are not as effective as say a manual hacksaw blade. Somehow they lack that...

In my former house the back door off the laundry, for practical reasons to save space, swung out. I did have to modify the hinges for security, and installed a horizontal roller screen door on the inside. Was a neat solution in that situation, but if I had a choice, I'd go for conventional...

AUSSIE garages and workshops I have posted mine up before, but I'll add to this thread for continuation. Recently featured in Aussie Rapid Bikes - issue #61 "My Shed"

G'Day Beer Baron, Can we read anything behind that moniker, or do you just like to sample the odd drop! How did you ever accommodate that list of vehicles in apartment living? Will wait for the pictures of your transformation to show up.
