Hi, you can check out the neighborhood on google street view: http://maps.google.co.za/maps/ms?msid=210407209860721884032.0004b499e8c2322456a16&msa=0&ll=-26.075827,27.95284&spn=0.002583,0.005284 Those photo's are a bit outdated, so the garage does't appear yet.

I was also surprised when I saw that amp, cost me a whole $60. Cheap chinese product though, but does the job. That stool used a be a kitchen stool, but perfect my my use, the height is perfect for my slightly high workbench. Sturdy to sit on, but I wouldn't try to stand on it!

A little addition, I'm sure you can see what it is?

Got the garage pc connected and up & running Removed all the tools to start painting the tool board. Finished product.

Started painting the workbench's cabinet doors, came out pretty nice by using a foam roller and Post Office Red Enamel. Now just to add the aluminium trim and some handles. As you can see the workbench top is not totally level on the left. Need to take a spacer out and tighten the screws...

` Was built by a contractor. I must say the roof is pretty sturdy, walked on it once before and there is not really any movement. The photo's might not give you the right impression, the garage is +- 5m wide and 10m deep. The hose reel is hanging from one of the main beams (upper), not the...

Hi guys, it's been a while since my last update. Got the ceiling and insulation done this weekend, very happy with the outcome: Insulation Before paint After paint I've started on the cabinet doors. Stupid order twice as much sheetmetal than I needed, sized and bent same size as the...

Re: MY first shop Looking good!

This happened right now. Stanley knive! Sent from my turbocharged iPhone

Bought some new goodies today Boring, welding magnets And retractable hose reel, freaking awesome!

Yes, definitely insulating the ceiling, it's only spring now and it's already very hot inside! Sent from my turbocharged iPhone

Some small things done recently: Got a cheap receiver to drive some spare Mission Dipole speakers I had lying around: Left speaker Right speaker Both speakers (top corners of work area) Added some hangers for my new Thule bike rack And some blinds Now to move to the floor and roof...

Did some colour coding, the cars didn't match nicely lol! Before: After:

Hehe, I'm really trying to get rid of those couches. Wasting valuable floor space and don't really feel like doing the floor until they are gone!

Installed some carpet onto the walls next to the cars to protect the doors.

How much is something equivalent over there?

Tool drawers over here are very expensive, especially anything imported. Look at the specs, what you you guys think of this one, any good to spend money on? It' 3700 South African Rand, the AmPro equivalent without top box is 5000 Rand...

So I decided to redo that dodgy looking workbench. Before: Building the frame: After: It still needs paint and then the next step is to close the sides and mount some doors. Think Black frame with Red doors will be the theme here.

Thanks Sarel! Glad to see I'm not the only one from SA on here. Do you have a build thread?

Yeah maybe, but I think I should be good with sockets. Think some of them you can't see on the photo's. Great idea, i was thinking rubber or garden hose, but then my dad gave me the idea of carpet. I bought it already, it's all rolled up (circled in red in the pic below). It's grey so after...
