The man-cave is up
« on: 01 December 2019, 20:25:11 »

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  :o.



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!  :y

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.   ;D

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 ?

Indeed , us hardened Vauxhall masochists love the increased pain felt when the spanner slips and it's really cold ,increases the pain no end  ;D
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  ;D
