Yeah, I think I've decided to keep the sink

This is the main problem with a clean floor, all the **** shows up on the floor. I need to seal the roof cap somehow, there's a lot of stuff blowing in through.

New video. This time I'm changing some walls around with my new favourite tool. Unfortunately most of my tools are still in storage.

Thanks guys, new episode soon

Thanks mate. Unfortunately I need a few takes. :)

First of the garage videos went up today. Check it out

Yeah unfortunately the digital age has changed the old clearance sales. All the good stuff gets picked over and they sell of the junk. I used to love clearance sales when I was a kid.

Were there any cars in the sale? A station operating that long should have had some interesting stuff.

I didn't have a wet/dry shop vac but got it sorted anyway

Now that the floor in the main area is done, it's time to tackle this section. This will be the main workshop and tool zone. The existing benches aren't really up to my standard and the far end is way too deep. I don't like benches that are deeper than an arms reach. I find they just...

Yep, definitely a fridge in the shed for drinks but bigger fridge with the bar. And space will definitely be at a premium when all my gear gets here.

I'm building a bar in our covered entertaining area so I'm not tying up valuable space in the shed. I'm actually thinking of leaving the sink in place because it is ****** handy to have around. The plan is to be able to keep one or two cars in the front section along with a lounge that I can...

I probably should have done the litmus test but I did go over it with a baking soda solution after acid etching.

Sounds like a massive job, good luck with it. More pictures :)

Thanks mate, I just went back outside and had a look and I'm very happy how it looks. The real test will be tomorrow. I won't be able to walk on it until tomorrow afternoon.

Thanks guys, of course it's just started raining outside. Hopefully the humidity doesn't affect the finish

Laid down a third coat just now. We'll see how it looks when it dries. Hopefully it doesn't need another coat, but I have a little extra paint if it does.

Yeah the acid did a great job. There was some sort of material that was really tough but I used a sander to help remove the parts the acid didn't lift completely. The concrete looked really good, and quite course, before I laid down the paint.

Thanks mate. I've got a shipping container full if tools, benches and cupboards to fill the space, plus three cars. But I'll make it all fit somehow. I'm going to use the front area for car storage (and dress it up for man cave duties with a decent TV and lounge), with the project car in the...

I ended up just cutting out on of the side sliding doors and used a plastic watering can to apply the 10% hydrochloric acid solution and then washed it out the door with a bit of help from a broom.
