I bought a set of CK electrical insulated screwdrivers in 2000 - they did a lot of work but started to get worn and chipped on the blade ends by 2004, so replaced them with Witte. The Witte set, ten years later, are still going strong.

Same here; something's broken.

That's a lot of hard work right there, knocking all that concrete out and re-plastering, and the floor is a nice job. I see you'll have what looks to be a steeply-sloping ramp down from the street - are you arranging a sump pump for rainwater drainage?

Yep - it's an old problem. It's never as big as you think it is. :D

Really neat implementation and excellent use of space. Love the 7.

Nice setup. You probably came to the same realsation as me, that you can have too much of a big space when it comes to heating it - almost impossible at times. Well, totally impossible unless you have access to free heat from a neighbouring nuke plant or something. :)

Wow. I'm impressed with the quality of your work. Also intrigued to see all the stove pipes from the other garages. At one time there must have been a lot of woodsmoke down there.

Oh, that's nice. So clean and minimalist; stark, nothing wasted, nothing out of place. I love it. It's garages like that that give me leeway to be a slob, knowing there are neat and tidy places to balance it out. ;)

Part 4 First coat of paint slapped up in parts and temporary benches laid in - eventually I'll build a solid timber bench there, but that will have to wait until I insulate the front and rear walls during the summer. It'll do for now. I spent the last couple of days just shifting **** around and...

Part 3 All the wiring done and the lights working. The camera doesn't do it justice - I could carry out an appendectomy in there. From an online source I found the necessary / recommended lighting for a workshop space and made allowances for ageing tubes and dirty fittings to keep the lumens...

Part 2 The wall is finished and the ceiling beams in place. I decided to space the beams 24" apart to allow me to slot in the ex-office ceiling light fittings, but doh! Didn't take into account the fact they were slightly wider than the allowed space - what a **** of an architect, eh? That meant...

I have this old industrial building I bought 15 years ago, I have been slowly (oh, so slowly) turning it into a house, and always meant to use the large part as a workshop, but winters in it were brutal and as I was getting older it became less of a pleasure and more of a chore to do any work in...
