Cool shop, would like to turn my hobby into a full time job too. Sent from my MI 6 using Tapatalk

I thought about building a timber fence but the thought of painting and maintaining it put me off pretty quick. We had a company install a powder coated aluminium fence with a large gate to allow access down the side. Very happy with the quality, they did a great job and it was worth the...

Some more pics of the painted area. Also scored a TV for the workshop. Sent from my MI 6 using Tapatalk

The last photo also has a repurposed 3 phase isolator that is used to switch on my compressor. The hose reel is under the bench in the corner. The compressor is in a store room behind the reel. This room is the secret to keeping everything looking tidy Inthe workshop area. Sent from my MI 6...

I like a clean work area, and as we walk through this area after parking the cars I wanted it to be tidy. One of my bug bears is cables and extension leads everywhere. All my charge leads are run through the bench and I just pull the one I need out a little and plug it in. All leads are switched...

We had the car garage epoxy sealed with a three coulour flake. I wasn't prepared to do the whole workshop area as the cost, and the thought of trying to look after it put me off. I like the fact that I the motorcycle area floor is low maintenance and if I spill something on it it's no big deal...

Since the major projects on the house are done I have had a chance to focus on the garage. First step was to line the ceiling which drops alot of dust. I repaired all the battens that were damaged during asbestos removal and put some cement sheet up. Made a significant difference to dust and...

I used this mob for most of the gear in my place. I started from scratch when renovating. Good prices and cheap delivery. https://www.sparkydirect.com.au/lighting/ These would suit your application and they are on sale...

She is a continual project and a lot of fun to ride. I chose the lucky strike livery as my first bike way back in 1994 was a lucky strike RGV. I feel like a naughty teenager every time I ride it. Sent from my MI 6 using Tapatalk

During all the house projects I was still sneaking in a few hours a week to keep the two wheel projects going. Here are a few progress photos of the RGV. Sent from my MI 6 using Tapatalk

Do you mean the subway pattern above the workshop sink?

Thanks, we purchased it from a family that had been there since 1947 and it didn't feel right to knock it down and start again. The bones are still there.

The front porch and rear deck areas were a struggle for us to decide on ceiling linings so I told the builders at the time to just leave it and we will re visit in the future. We thought about varnished marine ply and a couple of other options but we decided on timber flooring. Before After...

Around this time a house locally was being demolished. They had a outdoor area by the pool with a nice stainless cabinet and stone bench top. So for $400 it was ours. After trimming the benchtop it was a good fit. I also found the tiling easier than I thought it would be. Sent from my MI 6...

More main bathroom shots. Here is how the fish house was left and it was my first project after we moved in. I used cement linear board and tin roofing. A fair amount of reinforcing was required as termite damaged timbers were removed. It's a great storage space now that is approximately 5 by...
