Welcome to GJ. Lovely Cobra. Great match of colour schemes between the garage and the car :thumbup: Can we have some more pics of what else you have done with the garage remodel please!

Boy, I hope so. It would be pretty soul destroying if after all this work they eat their way through the joists and I have to start all over again. I think I only noticed a few flight holes in the joists for the mezzanine section when I started the conversion there and didn't know anything about...

Good job. I like what you have done with the floor.

I put in about 200 sq m of Ecotile, which looks very similar to the Tuff Seal tile that you posted, and just used a fine blade of my jig saw. It was installed into 5 different spaces/rooms so there was quite a lot of cutting to do, but the material was quite soft and easy to cut through so no...

The wall between the workshop and the central part of the barn is just an internal wall and not load-bearing (you can see the RSJ runs right through it) and I originally toyed with the idea of knocking it down to create an even larger space. I may still do that one day as there is currently no...

Super. The 'in cab' ones are my faves Grizz.

Welcome to GJ. Looking forward to seeing more of your build. Also please keep us posted on the build of the Locost - I want to build something like that with my boys when they are slightly older!

I don't own many pairs of shoes. If I'm just going out to the garage to do some work I'll just stick on my current pair of trainers, but if I am going out there to pull one of the cars out to go for a drive it will be my Pilotis or Puma Speedcats.

Welcome to GJ. Looking forward to seeing some pics of this. I did a lot of my refurbishment over the winter months too (albeit in the UK rather than Canada) so know what you went through being out there in the frost! Well done - winter is almost behind us now with each day becoming slightly...

What's the collection on the shelving on the left of the garage? Are they old motorbike magazines?

Welcome to GJ. Looking good. Plenty of drawers to organise nuts, bolts and the like! Ha. That is definitely the easy part - I have that mastered!

Having posted some close-ups of the signs I thought I could take better pictures of some of the other stuff that I have up in there. I bought a clock when I was out in Hong Kong. It's from Autoart, so nothing particularly 'unique', but it goes well with the garage theme, and since I haven't seen...

I hope so, although I guess it will be a few years until I can be sure as apparently the 'worms' (the beetle larvae) live in the wood for several years before boring their way out to turn into beetles and mate. When I started with the barn I found lots of 'flight holes' in some areas (nothing in...

I know our local council tip are very strict about not letting you take anything away, but it won't hurt to ask at yours. I have a sneaking suspicion that they keep everything there so that they can take the good stuff home at the end of the day and sell it. There is a chap in the village who...

Following on from the 'Garages At Night' thread posting: This is where they are now dubber. The small one is just up on the wall in the main 'square' area (non-close up pics already seen earlier in the thread): I presume it is an ex-dealership sign. I bought it on Ebay and then constructed...

Welcome. Looking forward to see how this turns out!

Looks really nice. Great use of space. Don't worry about the size of it - often it is the smaller shops that have the cleverest ideas of how to maximise the space that everyone else can see and learn from - I know when I was pushed for space I got more ingenious about how everything could fit in...

That's a self-retracting electric extension lead, right? Nice! Never seen anything like that for sale over here, but would really like one. Going to do some searching now, thanks ;)

I understand your concern with those tiles. I don't want to clutter dubber's thread by posting pictures of my floor into it but if you look in my build thread you will see some close-ups of the Ecotile UPVC tiles that someone asked me to post (the pic is on page 2 I think, to save you having to...

Ask them if they will do a bulk discount if you are buying a decent amount of it. I seem to recall that I managed to get some money off mine for volume, but it was about 200 sq m that I ordered.
