Garage in Wales

[nickjj]

So we've moved to deepest Wales, and now I have a 1300sq garage that needs a bit of help

Got as far as flooring and painting the walls so far

You're off to a good start... What type/brand of tiles are those??

They're the Best Step ones they sell in Costco

Makes the floor a bit less hard on the feet

nice to see some home grown garages on here at last- looking forward to progress reports

Had a bit of a post move tidy up, put some bin racks up, and sorted out a corner.

fun. most of my family came to the states from wales inthe 1860-1870s period. nice place you have, but would you slow down and go back and sorta give us a step by step progress report? i see you have an exploder. where did you get those neat bins. etc. looking very nice so far.

That's an Expedition, quite a rare car in this part of the world.

Green boxes were destined to be dumped, came from a car parts factory, everytime a new model comes out the returnable crates are changed. Grey ones were from a aircraft parts warehouse that was closing.

Move to Wales was to escape the city, fresh air, and there's a castle opposite the school, just over the border in England.

Garage and out buildings need a huge amount of work though, built from junk, an awful lot needs to be replaced, and half needs to come down and be rebuilt.

Scenery there is spectacular..........since it's not raining I'm always surprised to see flat roofed building anywhere in the UK region. Seems nuts for runoff.

They're not 100% flat, and since I've cleaned out the gutters the pools of water on the roof have gone.

Ideally I'd like to replace the whole roof with a second level with apexes and a traditional roofline, bit more working height and eaves storage then.
