have thoroughly enjoyed reading through this thread for the past week! i was looking for some inspiration for a garage i plan on building at my new home and wanted to see garages around the 7m mark in width (~23ft in american money) and this popped up right at the top of the page! it wont be as...

no problem! i'm actually thinking of making another on the same side of the garage but further along the wall towards the back. i have just picked up a pillar drill which will need to be mounted somewhere and it seems that it would be logical to make a new bench for it... however that means i...

alot of **** has adorned the garage over the past few weeks, most of which i didnt want to be there... some outside garden furniture and our old dining set... i broke down the dining set for selling and stored it out the way and put the outside furniture... well outside... its very wet here just...

so this update isnt really garage related but its just more life related. since moving in i have been slowly setting up and clearing out my games room which is one of the bedrooms upstairs (4 bed house for 2 of us + dog, one extra bedroom is my games room and the smallest bedroom is a walk in...

Sorry it took so long but here is a folded up picture! Has 2 nice strong hinges for the table top and folds nice and smooth. The legs also have 2 hinges which pivot freely on there own aswell so it’s a nice easy motion to get up and down...

thanks, i was sure i had a picture of it all folded up but for some reason i cant seem to find it! i will be out in the garage tonight so i will snap a shot of it! the machines are not bolted down but both are heavy enough that they do not move, i had marked out spots to drill through but then...

thanks! not much has happened inside the garage recently... but it does need some more cleaning out inside!

heres a couple little picture updates! made myself a fold away bench which is going house my new Metabo table saw and chop saw. made it fold away so that if i ever need the space its easy to move! put up some old ikea rails i had in my old kitchen, one above each bench... good for hanging...

so another update, sans pictures... i have completed the electrics in the garage, i now have 4 double outlets and 2 single outlets spaced around the garage and its all wired as a ring main inside conduit piping. i also got another 3 LED strip lights which have been installed towards the front...

so i have a few pictures from last night! i removed the polo from the garage as i needed to get my boxster in for a little bit of cosmetic and maintenance work... its fits in, but its quite snug... its workable though! will be even better once the other bay is open! the washer jets for the...

i got a bit of work in over the weekend in between friends visiting and other such things... no pictures but i will post some later! we built a shed out back of the garage, its roughly 8x6ft and will house alot of the stuff from the left hand bay of the garage. there is a little space behind...

if its mk2 you want, it is mk2 you will receive... (ps, the name refers to the fact that this is my second garage with a re-used name, its just lucky i have a owned a mk2 golf hahah!) this is my old one i owned around 6 years ago... didnt have it long enough for it to even make it on the road...

may aswell throw a couple of mines in here! only been in a month! lots done and lots to do still! as it stands (mess wise) just now.. i have a car in the right bay being worked on just now!

so in terms of power in the garage there is only 1 single outlet on the very back wall and it is very inconveniantly placed right behind the tool box!... my plan is to re-run all the cable inside 20mm plastic conduit right round the top of the garage in a ring main circuit with drop downs for 4...

I will seriously consider doing the walls next year after I have more lighting up and an empty space! It's actually ok to work on just now but I also feel a lot of light is being soaked up because of the **** I have all around me and because I only have 3 strips towards the back! I will consider...
