Default well , ive just finished my garage overhaul !!!!!!

as some of you may know , i moved into our current house in febuary , its ticked all the boxes and came with a linked gargae

so after making a deal with the missus to get the house sorted before starting the garage , that was done and then got on sorting it out for the s1 to come over ....


how it looked first time i opened the door




genral rubbish dump for the previous tennants ect ,



so the shite was shifted



to reveal a pretty deecent space




then is was sort the roof , open joists wnt cut it so was insulated and drylined



draughted me cousin in whos a p& d to do the painting ( id had enough doing the house lol )





as you can see in the pics theres plenty of lighting now , got to say a big big thanks to daz aka cragrat , who popped up and rewired the full garage for me , new braker , series of scockets along the window side of the g , and all new strip lights


so with all that done , couple of coats of grey floorpaint , and bit of gloss work , some tiling , and new worktop ect




















the finished result













needs a few things to finsh off , some more posters ect , but well happy with the result ,

even the missus saw a 2.5 hp compressor going cheap so she picked it up for me

ohh and the loverly mustang poster .....




what ya think


beef ,

Looks loads better! We've just had our manky strip lights at work changed for some bluey/white tubes which are far brighter and better to work with, might be worth swapping those old yellowy tubes over for some.
