Looking great mate, I am envious of the kitchen cabinets - this is exactly what i want to do, but the low ceiling means normal wall cabinets will be too tall, so I am looking at custom ones - which pushes the price up. After my success with the Kreg Pocket Hole jig I may look at building my own...

Hey Ollie, yes - I need to do a fair bit of repainting, that pipe, and a few places where I missed before. I was hoping to thin out some of the items on the floor to ceiling storage, and build some doors - it's been on my to-do list for a fair while now! But while the car is in the way it's a...

A General look around the garage following recent work: The last shot shows an old telephone and test gear from an old UK Strowger telephone exchange where I used to work. I collect old phones, and this one looks kinda cool there in the garage.

Thanks! OK, fitted an internal shelf to the left side, and then fitted the doors. Just need some handles.

Thanks Bob, please do post some pictures. I have also been busy, converting a open framed workbench I purchased around 18 years ago into a close cabinet workbench. You can see it on the left, and this was fine, but a little low for comfortable working, and also showed all the storage off...

I like the Garagevac fine, it is claimed to be more powerful than the cyclone type vacumms, and I would agree with that, I also have a 'Henry' type vacuum, and I think it is about similar power to the Garagevac. I still need to use it more, to find out its strengths and weaknesses. Today I...

Ollie - Yep get the tiles, I guarantee you won't regret it. And remember, you can take them with you if you move. Dubber - your garage is superb, it makes me realize I must either enclose the storage in mine, or swap to closed cabinets. I do wish I had realized this before investing in the...

Hi Ollie, Yes I jack the car up regularly to put it on the wheel dollies so I can push it around the corner. There has been no wear or tear at all on the tiles. I really like how I can reconfigure them if required. One thing is my floor is really rough and uneven, in places the tiles are...

A New Addition Hi all, a long time since the last post, but back in the garage and starting a few jobs. First up, a little remodel. I noticed that the washer and dryer, unfortunate tenants in the garage, due to lack of space, were not using all the space under the worktop. So by pushing these...

Hi, before you close up the ceiling, have you considered solar light tubes o bring some natural light down into the middle of the upstairs and the ground floor? http://www.veluxusa.com/Consumer/Products/SUN_TUNNEL_skylights

I didn't want to have the clacking sound either, but I also didn't want to put the floor down and get it up again. So no comparisons, I just purchased the weed control fabric as suggested, and put that down first. As my floor is very uneven and rough it was worth doing in my opinion. The...

They are not cheap, but then once you see them and put them down you don't mind, as they are quality. They don't curl up, they connect very tightly to one another, and as they are from an established company, you can order more if you ever move to a bigger garage. So I view them as an...

That's really coming on. I used the same draught strip. Had the same fun! But now when/if you get your floor tiles, they will run nicely from that threshold strip. Are you going to wall mount your dehumidifier? I did in my last garage, I made a shelf and got it up as high as I could out the...

Looking good! I want to do this in my garage too, please keep posting pictures! Thanks

I thought I'd try a panorama shot...

Yes, the upper or left hand half has always been a cottage, and the back wall is still solid stone. Very difficult to age, but probably 150-200 years old. The front of the cottage is much more recent, it was extended in the 60's/70's. The lower part or right hand side was built as a stable I...

For all this time, the shed had no door. It did have three sets of hinges(!) all broken off and rusted. Once I had made the decision to keep the shed, a door was made, and I spent a morning getting the old hinges out, treating and painting the frame, painting the new door, and finally planing...

The Mews Shed As I have learnt on this forum, having a serviceable shed is vital to allow non garage items to be removed from the garage. Although I have a small shed, the original plan was to knock it down. But after using it at first in a temporary fashon, then more seriously, it is staying...

Ha! _ I had Denovo tyres on my first car, a 'T reg' 1275GT Mini in green. It was nice to see it stills survives, and even made a feature in 'Mini World' some years ago. The Michelin Man or 'Bibendum' as he is called are very rare. Good Score! Cheers - and keep us posted of the plans. Are you...

Ahh! The trouble with the end of line stuff - you have to go for it when they have the style and colour you want! Agreed the Eco-tile is very good. I liked it so much I used the 500/6 stuff in my main hallway in the house! This is why I realised the 500/6 tile needs a very smooth floor - there...
