Hi guys, been a while since the last update. But after vacation and a bout of Covid im back at it. Right now im focused on getting everything back into the garage and organised. Im happy with the layout of the shelving and the extra space they give me but the small scale granular organisation...

Before i fixed the shelves i figured i would be a good idea to confirm the car fits and unfortunately it looks like my earlier layout designs were not accurate. Fortunately there is space enough for the car and to get in and out. Unfortunately any hopes of using the workbench with the car...

Thanks, theres still a lot to do but i feel like this is a good start!

The last week was spent putting three layers of paint on the floor and fitting skirting boards. And today i played some more with some black paint: Shelves painted Then i finished of the conduit for the cables, really happy with what difference this made And finally started getting things...

Hi, yeah i started a few posts up with some layouts in 3d. So i know how to layout the furniture, and i have three sets of shelves that i didnt before so that will help. Im hoping to wallmount the hoses and pressurewasher which will clear one corner. The main problem is organising the smaller...

Managed to sneak a couple of hours in this evening. Repaired the damage done yesterday and the first coat of paint is drying on the floor. Happy with how it is turning out so far. But it wont look so great when all the stuff goes back in. Next step after the floor is done will be skirting...

Started work on the dividing strip but was concerned that the masking tape I had was not great, and sure enough I had a lot of tear out when I came to remove it. So tomorrow I’m going to be repainting all the areas that got damaged, but here’s a quick pic of the current state fuckups included...

Quick update for today got the walls done. Started with the top half Which looked quite dark until I started the bottom Color contrast perception is weird! The whole top half of the walls are all the same grey, only the bottom half of the end wall is painted And after a second coat we...

Last update for today. Floors and walls cleaned, everything grounded, and the first base coat is on. It’s been a long day, and will be again tomorrow, but I will have everything painted before the weekend so I can start getting everything back in next week.

Yep, I’ll be taking some more pics when it looks a bit nicer for sure, and the kids have been enjoying the space on their rollerskates. For now it’s all preparation I’m not looking for perfection but lots of sanding, sweeping, filling, sanding, sweeping, cleaning etc etc. I’ve just finished...

It’s empty! It’s finally empty! I would like to dedicate this moment to my carport, without you all my **** would be getting wet. And to cheap galvanised steel shelving units, though you stink and are wonky as all hell, you help me organised my ****.. sob 🙏

Still making slow progress here, but still moving things forwards. Got the drain seated but figured it wouldn’t look good being white on a dark grey floor, so it got painted. Whilst I had the black paint out I wondered if the electric conduit would look better in black I think I’ll be...

I’m burning the midnight oil today, but I forced myself to spend a few hours in the garage and I FINALLY cleared the workbench. I also cut the top down to accommodate moving the fridge when alls done. I still need to cut down the frame and remove one of the legs etc, but small progress is still...

Still slow progress at the moment, life is getting in the way. But I wanted to spend a little time in the garage tonight. As it’s attached to the house loud work is off the board after the kids are asleep, so I decided to fit the windowsill that I bought the other day. And really not wanting...

Thanks for the reply, I actually picked up some paint from my local hardware store today. The floor is just raw untreated concrete at the moment so I figured whatever I do it needs to be at least sealed against moisture. So I will paint for now, but I actually had an idea about adding...

Another small update, I managed to get a couple of hours in the garage today, cleared a bit more of the **** out, and made some progress on the drain. Now I’m starting to think about what to do with the floor when I have it cleared, I’m really not in the market for spending hundreds of...

A little reorganisation and I should at least be able to open the door to get out now.

No big progress yesterday but I did start some kind of design / planning. Sorry for crappy pics I can’t be bothered to export screenshots and send them to my phone. But outlook is that it’s going to be a tight fit!
