Hey SS,sorry I was going to post up my shelving build today,but,work got in the way!! will see how I go tomorrow,but am getting ready for motorex so it might have to wait till next week.the busted knuckle is just for general home jobs & car maintenance,saying that the Statesman is being...

Thanks HOTFR8, I will contact them to see if there is a local supplier,the only problem is the more i look the longer the list gets!!! Failing that i will talk to them about shipping,i did get some merchandise shipped from Boyd Coddingtons a few years ago & the freight...

Thanks HOTFR8, it makes it that bit more pleasurable to be in the garage & is spurring me on to sorting out my box's of garage stuff i have in storage. BTW I wish you hadn't sent me the busted knuckle link as there is a great shop clock that i think will look fantastic on...

Hey SS, The beam is just raw,it's one of the things I have to decide,whether I put a ceiling in,or sand & lacquer the beams(they are very rustic). The shelf is only for cool old stuff definitely not for general storage!!

The huge stacks of colourbond sheeting from the garden shed yielded a nice little bonus,every stack had a top & bottom full length protective sheet. As i was erecting the shed there was a little idea building in the back of my mind about what i could use the leftover protector sheets for. I Have...

Excellent thank you so much HOTFR8,Janet & i put a lot of time & thought into everything we are doing on this place (not just the garage)because it's our little bit of fibro 1960's australia that somehow missed being destroyed by our headlong rush into disposing of the past,so while we are...

At all our other houses we have had a garden shed for mower,weed whacker,gardening tools & general storage. I Had the concretors put a slab down 3m x 3m when they were doing the slabs for the water tanks for one in the not too distant future. In the past we had always bought the cheapest &...

Hey 05carbonDRZ,Had a look at their site,but couldn't see any online,perhaps they were a one off,i wouldn't of minded a different version for inside the garage. Adrian

Thanks HOTFR8, I know it's fairly humble compared to a lot on here,but i am really enjoying the challenge of turning it into something i can be proud of with a minimal budget.Hope to get another update up later today.

SS, Yep checked all those threads out & will be utilising them in the not too distant future. I had another photo in the first post of why i called the thread the busted knuckle,but looks like i deleted it when i resized the pictures,so for any who are wondering here it is; I do have quite...

Hey SS, I really like your thinking,these are simple ideas that are cheaply done that make things so much easier,:bowdown::bowdown: Adrian

Hey SS, I do have a very "rustic" bench that was about 4 metres long,i have since cut it down to just under 3 metres & hidden it in some wasted space behind where i have enclosed the"loo with a view" Will get some photos soon,but bench is not varnished or anything yet.

Hi SS, It's just my home workshop,i still have a lot of my tools & well i call them collectibles,but Janet calls them junk!Stored at my factory unit from when we moved,so i am trying to get as many ideas as i can to utilise space.Even though it is a long garage i'ts not very wide,one of...

This was used previously i think for an outdoor entertaining area,you can see in the photo there are 3 enormous cocos palm trees that dropped branches,seed pods & seeds,and,attracted bats from miles around to fight & **** on everything.I wanted to use this as a carport,but the way these trees...

Hey SS getting closer,only couple more & will get to where i am up to with Garage

Thanks! everyone who has seen the floors loves them. I started this thread because after a year i have finally started some work on the garage,my next couple of projects are the ones leading up to the garage,and,give me some of the materials for that project. The budget took a big hit getting us...

My wife did a lot of research before choosing the home & they visit her twice weekly.So far we have been happy with her care.

So while all the renovations are going on we are having a very wet winter & spring.The whole time the back yard is soggy & wet & smelling very swampy.There is only one downpipe coming off the garage & carports,it has a large box drain centreway across the garage .Well this 4" downpipe finishes...

I have no experience with floorsanding & doing plenty of internet searching,i decide to call a couple of contractors to come look at the floor.They all were of the opinoin that the damage wasn't too bad ,so we decided on one & here is the result: Lounge Same as in first post. Dining as second...

The list when we settled was quite long,it began with renting a caravan & parking that on the front lawn so we had somewhere to sleep.The bathroom & kitchen were quite servicable so we at least could shower & cook. I was going to get rid of the carpet next,but chose to put up with the smell &...
