On Friday the local company finally came to put up the timber garage we ordered back in September. They were incredibly efficient and the four of them were gone before 3pm  .



I then spent the weekend kitting it out with electric, lights and a proper workbench, something I've been missing for a long while now. I also built a platform so that I can store all the cr@p from the main house over the top of the kit car during the renovations.

To say I'm happy with it is a massive understatement!

Excellent. 

On the essentials list when we do eventually move is a Garage / workshop space, i'm prepared to sacrifice all the bedrooms bar one to acheive this 

[Sir Tigger KC]

Awesome! 

[STEMO]

Really, really cool 

Glad you went for the T&G 

[Webby the Bear]

Very, very nice mate 👍👍👍

[Varche]

Excellent.

What is your floor?

[Viral_Jim]

Thanks chaps, I was contemplating a This week in Jimmy's workshop thread, but I fear my skills don't come close to Nick's, and making DIY bits for the house is likely to be far less interesting than his efforts.   

Excellent.

What is your floor?

Currently its just the 6" concrete slab that the building went on. Its been so wet here of late that I want to give the concrete time to properly cure before I put any kind of surface down. Also, due to rain we had to put a plastic sheet over the concrete while it set and there are some marks in the surface as a result.

In the fullness of time I will probably put a high-build resin floor down to take up the imperfections.

Im not even slightly jealous of that. Not jealous at all. Why would I be ? Somewhere to have plenty of room to work on your car and have all your tools organised around the walls etc. Who needs that sort of thing anyway ?

Warm..........you forgot warm.

Indeed , us hardened Vauxhall masochists love the increased pain felt when the spanner slips and it's really cold ,increases the pain no end 
also rain and snow is not available in a nice warm workshop ,though I guess you could rig a hosepipe to simulate the feeling of a river of cold rainwater running under your back as you work on your rusty Vauxhalls

Very nice, Mr Jimmy.

Every man should have one by law.

another item for Corbyn's manifesto
perhaps that is what all the tree planting is for ,to chop down and build man-caves 
I may change my vote again 

[Lizzie Zoom]

That looks to be brilliant!

Even us ladies could make good use of that
