    Above 1200 Sq/FT My Retirement Shop, Pole Barns, Old Truck and Questionable Decisions Thread

    In the last photo I spotted something really cool - where did you get the custom keychain flight tags made up? They would be a really useful thing to get and apologies if you have answered this previously and I have missed it.

    Great thread, takes me back to when I used to go fishing - a hobby I used to enjoy with friends when we were growing up and that I just don't have the luxury of time for these days - good to see you enjoying it. There used to be a TV programme here in the UK which started in the late 1980s...

    Wow, some energy, skill and talent has gone into this build. What a garage workshop. Looking to see how you develop the storage and use the space upstairs.

    Just finished ready the thread from start to date, Really impressive work, you've been transforming the property inside and out. What is the latest on the blocked shared gutter?

    Fantastic to check back in on this project and see the progress. Looks like you have been somewhat lucky with the weather so far - heavier snow could have really slowed your progress. Great to see the roof and footings done, you are in a great position to crack on with the inside when the time...

    You clearly have viking genes somewhere in your lineage - takes some hardiness to be working on cars on concrete in those conditions. Enjoying the progress on this build. When are you going to get some doors fitted? That will transform the usability of the space whilst you finish other things.

    I mentioned in the previous post that I remodelled the shed. Recognising that most major work was now done on the house, I decided that I could sort through and get rid of a lot of timber that I had been saving. With that recycled, I set about a grand plan to reorganise the storage quarter of...

    Back in November '23 I made this to tidy up a corner of the garage. It currently has two engines and gearboxes underneath it (I don't know if I should be proud of the fact I have a n+1 approach to cars and engines, but there we go). It was built out of some recycled 6mm angle iron and some newer...

    Went over to Ireland for a short break and dropped in to see Dave Hunt at Red Hill Motorsport in County Sligo. Dave is well known for his outstanding builds and workmanship - there's several articles over at Speedhunters. Some times you just need a little inspiration to get those projects back...

    Been a while, just maxed out with work and being away from home a lot on business. Time at home was prioritised on family stuff, then we had the house roof replaced and the next thing you know we're rolling into 2025 and all the chores that come with spring and a new season in the garden. Back...

    Looks like a great project in a nice setting. Looking forward to seeing the build progress and what you do with it once it's watertight and a usable workshop space.

    So a few months ago I insulated and boarded the man door into the garage. After several coats of primer and a lot of sanding, I had a good base to do some garage artwork on it. So first up was a design: Then to make it true scale, it had to be printed onto several sheets of A4 and overlapped...
