scottish garage

[1/2 Cup]

Inspiration received, now that's something I must do is put doors under my bench as you have done.

[nicklouse10]

go for it. looks like it will work well man.
if it was mines, id stick with matt/satin for the black and go high gloss for the red.

 

[Scottishross]

Cheers mate

Good idea

 

[Scottishross]

The photoshopped idea

What about a gray floor with the red and black

 

[bazzateer]

I'd prefer a contrast so if you're set on red/black cabinets I'd say grey for the floor.

 

[Scottishross]

A might be able to get my hands on gray tiles

The lighter the better to set off those cabinets.

[nomonkeybus]

[Scottishross]

[Scottishross]

I have managed to pick up some greyish flooring



Will put it down and see how the colour looks and take it from there

 

[Scottishross]

New colour ideas

Those rubber tiles are great. I have them in the front room of the house A bit on the expensive side thou, at least here in Norway

 

[Scottishross]

There Easy to keep clean plus softish under foot

 

[Lippyp]

Only issue you might have is if theres no damp-proof membrane under the concrte. You'll find if thats the case it'll get soaking wet under them as the water that wicks thriough the concrete now can't evaporate. We had this in our last house, had quarry tiles in the utility room, I put some old vinyl flooring down under the cat bowls for ease of cleaning and in a few days it was sopping underneath it.

 

[Scottishross]

How do u check if there's a damp proof membrane under the concrete

 

[bazzateer]

Tape a sheet of plastic down onto the concrete making sure the edges are sealed against the floor and air friom inside the garage cannot get through. Leave it overnight and then peel it up in the morning. If it's damp then moisture has wicked up through the concrete meaning it's unlikely that there is a dpm under there. If it's bone dry you should be OK.

Fab mate cheers for the info

 

[Scottishross]

It was a nightmare trying to fit it in

 

[Scottishross]

Spent a bit of time framing out my units again the night

 

[rmalkow2]

Great looking garage space. I just finished from the beginning and you've really improved the space a lot. I see a few good ideas to borrow as well.

What ideas u thinking of stealing

 

[rmalkow2]

For starters a simple one. I have always recycled or tossed my old gallon size oil jugs. It looks like you cut the bottoms off to make small parts bins. But I did not see if you put them join a drawer or cabinet? I should start cutting these off at different heights to keep various size small parts. Stuff that usually ends up loos on my bench.

 

[Scottishross]

a use them for nuts and bolts plus the odd junk bits lying around

 

[Scottishross]

So a decided to buy a sand blasting cabinet
It's ok wish it was bigger but it will do for now as you can see I'm still building it

 

[Scottishross]

Got a bit of tidying up to do

 

[Scottishross]

Sent a few hours finishing the wood around the snap on box






Then build a wee holder for a extra long screwdrivers

 

[Scottishross]

Decided to build a wee cupboard for the compressor , tran and random **** ha ha

Before






After










Just need to put a door on

 

[Scottishross]

Spent a bit of time today fixing my wood burning stove flue

Twin wall









Just needs another section and a top hat hand it's sorted
Will get better pics once it's finished

 

[Scottishross]

It's been quite a busy day today
Decided to sort out my screws and put the bolts in jars (and label) get rid of the boxes make use of the better space all I need now is more jars and more nuts and bolts

 

[Scottishross]

So decided to build a dust trap hers a few pics for the sandblaster

 

[Hesketh]

That looks like a good blast cabinet, where did you get that from?

Are you looking at getting a bigger compressor?
