Thanks Chevy SS - great advice, which makes very good sense. :thumbup:

Thanks for the info here Shea. I hadn't thought (or might have forgotten) to check the rating factors. Really appreciate you mentioning this. :beer:

Thank you all for your thoughts. Grey and silver sounds interesting. Went to the tile shop, and found there was little colour available - everything seemed to be in earthy tones. Felt a bit bummed out, as I recall there were many different colours available 20 years ago, including greens...

Some very interesting thoughts there. As my car is a Falcon, then perhaps my garage could be referred to as a nest?

Mmmm hops :Homer:

Hi All Wondering whether to go for dark or light coloured tiles? Dark would of course hide any untidiness on the floor; however light would make the garage look lighter, but show any dirt and 'stuff'. Any thoughts or wisdom would be much appreciated.

Be sure to keep us updated :thumbup:

Indeed. A Google search for "car hole" brings up images like this: :eek:

I think you're right, this script of the episode also says 'Car Hole'. Looks like I had it wrong for the last 20 years :headscrat

Not sure if this has come up before, but Moe thought the word garage was too French. <iframe width="420" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/HXJkLBj6G1k" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Anyone (other than Moe) prefer the term 'Car Hold'?

Thanks Aaron. :beer: Yes I am indeed a Ford fan. On the subject of Aldi purchases, I probably should have said 'a lot' instead of 'quite a few'. But they seem to be suitable for home-type jobs, and that's all I'm ever really doing, or hope to do.

I seriously considered picking up one of their welders, I think when it was being reduced even further. But finding further storage space for it, plus needing to do a welding course, kind of got in the way of that idea. For the time being anyway ;)

Thanks 1/2 Cup :beer: Truth be told, I've picked up quite a few items from Aldi for the garage. Most of them being really quite good, especially considering their price. The red ramps on the wall (last picture) would be my latest purchase - intended for caravans; but are 2 tonne rated each...

The cupboard handles were silver, but I spray painted them black, to better tie in with the existing 'theme'. Here are the LHS cupboards with their handles installed: And the RHS units: And this is how the LHS units currently sit along with the 'radio shelf': The next thing I need to...

This next update covers most of the last things done to date. I put up a shelf along under the door guide, to put the radio and a few other items. Although it cannot been seen, the top of the shelf is varnished; while the side and underneath are the same light green as the wall colour. Then...

And another idea I found on Garage Journal was for clamp storage, which I duly borrowed: I found clamps are surprisingly difficult to hang up, when there is not much room to do so.

Catching up along the timeline now to last year, and I had a set of wheels and tyres which needed to be moved up off the ground. I decided to build a platform above the hot water cylinder area. Was able to access 6 stud points, and used 6 heavy-duty angle brackets for the support: And used a...

Thanks Ford52PU :beer:

Thank you for your comments, Herb. It's more of a situation of making the most out of a small space, and trying to gain some efficiencies where possible. Needless to say, this website has been very helpful. Our whole block is only 405 m2 (484 square yards), and I suppose we are trying to...

Thanks Matias :beer:
