Finally got the 3-phase meter installed at the house after a 9 month wait. ****** metering company stuff around. So the hoist works! I'm stoked. My whole shed concept was based around wanting a hoist to begin with, and now I can finally do all the projects that I've been wanting to.

Thank you! The floor definitely met my expectations, and mopping up spills is really easy. I spilt some hydraulic fluid when filling the hoist and it was no problem at all to clean up. Thanks Anth! This build has always been a dream of mine too, there's still so much to do but it's finally...

Thanks, I decided that I wouldn't be likely to do any damage to it where it is located up against the hoist baseplate. If I find that it is subject to damage I'll make a more substantial cover for it.

Happy with the toolbox in its new designated location! Scott came and wired up the isolation switch for the hoist, just awaiting the 3 phase meter to be installed for it to be operational.

Thanks Lynn! Well I made use of the long weekend to get my hoist bolted down and assembled! I wasn't happy with the idea of using 3/4" DynaBolts to secure it so I used M20 x 260mm Chemset anchors and high-strength Chemset. It won't be going anywhere... LOL Also got my toolbox moved...

The floor is fully cured now, so on the weekend I had some time to start putting up my hoist! Got the columns basically in place to get an idea of how it all fits, and I'm pretty happy with how it's going to work out :)

Thanks ajohno :) Cool, Tamworth is a pretty convenient place to live, has most of the things you need and still easy to get around quickly. I like it here!

Drove some cars in on the new floor! It has been 6 days since the final coat and the leftover product in the tins is rock hard. I don't think there's any risk of damaging the coating now :)

The final coat of Polyurethane is down, and I'm stoked with the resulting finish! Michael de-nibbed the previous coat with his PolyVac and got rid of a few inclusions before putting down the last coat.

Thanks guys :bounce: We have postponed the final coat until wednesday as there's a few areas that needed to be sanded / denibbed before the final coat. The final coat is a polyurethane which should provide good durability as well as being glossier and more UV stable than the base epoxy. I'm...

Thanks 1/2Cup! Ahh, that's a pain! I like the Sonoff 4ch switch because it still has manual controls on the unit itself, and the app can see the On/Off status of each switched channel. So on Saturday we got the last of the floor sanding/grinding done and the first coat of Epoxy down! Went...

Thanks guys. Also installed a 150w LED Floodlight from eBay, seems to perform fairly well. I set it up on a Sonoff 4ch Wifi switch, so I can turn the floodlight on from the house or anywhere I like, or trigger it from other sensors later down the track. Still haven't put the slab down for...

I've been slack with updates because it didn't seem like there was much to show! Got some more electrical work done and additional exterior floodlights, but the next big upgrade is getting the floor epoxy coated. I found a local guy who does commercial floors at a very reasonable price, and we...

Small update - Got the rest of the high bay lights up! Light levels won't be an issue in here :D Now I need to choose some lights for the mezzanine end, both under and above.

They are great cars! I've loved all the Hondas I've owned so far, the DC2 Type R is my 2nd one so I've been a DC2R owner for 16 years total now! The NSX has always been my dream car and I bought it in 2013 from my uncle who had owned it for almost 20 years prior. S2000 is next on the list for...
