I've been caught up on a number of other house projects so I'm a bit behind with the garage. There have been a few changes so I'll have to get myself in order and post up properly. The sign came from, well, the town...

I also picked up a couple of 'drink' related items which have motorsport links - plus they're two of my favourite beverages. The first is quite obvious and easy to put up... The other required a little more work, although I was stoked to find such an example. It came through an...

Thanks! It certainly gets a lot of positive comments from those who have seen it in the flesh. 8/3/14 - 9/3/14 I'd picked up another SS wall cabinet which fit in some free space above my SS workbench, slotting nicely between the existing wall cabinet and the reinforcement pillar of the wall...

Thanks. Its certainly getting there. A bit of shuggah helps show the deficiencies in a system. If it can handle, them, it can pretty much handle anything! Thanks. Recycling and keeping an eye out for cheap or character fuel pieces does take time - but its also part of the fun. Not to mention...

17/2/14 - 22/2/14 This week was a big change in the garage. I took some time off work to get a lot of supplementary work done around the house and garage in preparation for.....the electrical work. The plan was for me to run all of the cabling and siting the sockets and conduit - taking care...

24/11/13 - 22/12/13 I needed to do a lot of cleaning up after the demolition of the walls and the replacement of the roof. The broken bits of board got absolutely everywhere. Work has been crazy with a lot of travelling abroad and Christmas was on its way so the only other job I get around to...

You could make your own zombie. Small bore hole to the skull and a few drops in should do the trick. It worked for Jeff Dahmer. Well, almost...

18/11/2013 - 23/11/2013 Today is the start of new roof so the hope is that the weather will hold so it can all be done in one hit. I've moved the cars out and packed up most of my tools and covered everything else that is too bog and heavy to move on my own....and it's just as well. After a...

30/9/2013 - 3/10/2013 During the work I've been doing on the house, I found time to dig out the ground and preapre for the building work to support the extending wall that was being built. Naturally, I was too busy working but when the wall started going up, I did spare a few minutes to snap a...

Thanks everyone. That was the only way to progress. There's only so many cases of shoddy work I'm prepared to fix until I want to start completely fresh. That's why I ended up spending so much time on the house. It took us two months between signing for it and moving in as I ended up getting...

1/2/2011 - 30/9/2013 Getting sidetracked with real life, I lose track of what happened with the garage. That said, there wasn't that much to make note of as it ended up storing my car and tools - as well as leaving various puddles of water after it rained thanks to the failing roof. What did...

Thanks. There's plenty more to come.

29/1/2011 Although I may be getting a little ahead of myself, I can't help feeling I should make some progress on the extension work. Whilst having such a 'big' open space (compared to what I'm used to) I'm keen to see what I could have. Unfortunately, the hous eis demanding more and more of...

18/1/2011 Things have finally been organised in order to welcome the garage's usual incumbent. I stripped out my tiny lock up which filled my touring and my other car as well as a few bits in a friends car. It's amazing how I squeezed it all in. Here's how things look, now. Here's the...

13/1/2011 Now I'm back to a bare shell, it's time to start organising my space a little so I can get my tools and parts into some order as they're cluttering up the house. I managed to make use of some bits and bobs that were left over from the vendor to make myself some storage and a...

3/1/2011 The next step was stripping out a lot of the wiring as well as the three phase looms and switches which were running all over the place. Here's the three phase unit which has a cabinet built to surround it as well as an example of the electrical system. Cabinet...

I originally started my build thread literally three years ago last week. As I never really managed to keep up with it - due to being way too busy fixing up the house instead - I let the journal slip. So, I figured I'd be better off restarting it. I decided to call it the Gemini Garage as there...

Some decent examples there but... ...this is what its all about.

Beautiful pair of Brindles you have there!

I won't let mine in the garage if its too cold or I'm doing noisy work or grinding/hitting things where shrapnel can ping off in all directions. I'm lucky in that the main garage door can be closed which gives her the run of the garage as well as the garden via the side door. I'd be very wary...
