Default My garage/workshop tidy up

I've just got to the point with my 16ftx20ft workshop where enough is enough
It's become a dumping ground since we moved in
It's always been kept usable to keep a car in or work on a car, but the lack of light and breeze block walls has finally done me in

How it was when we moved in back in April 2014

Led security light was fitted to the front, and the front of the garage outside was painted the same colour as the house, we've still yet to finish painting the other walls...

Just the normal mancave jobs...

So over the next few weeks plans are to paint all the internal walls white

Add new LED lighting

Board outer ceiling area out in marine ply so I can store more stuff in the roof space

The other day a few recent eBay purchases arrived

Also put up a free kitchen wall unit I was given
Base has been painted with the same white as the walls
Doors will get sprayed some sort of metallic grey in the week when I get chance

There's more units available if I need anymore
