Garage is for that. Fair enough. But ONLY that. No fridge or tumble drier or decorating 'dangle berries'. Mans tools only. Not even garden stuff, thats what the shed is for... Which needs replacing actually, too small and the floors rotten. Sigh...

 :y

Course it's easy for me to say that.. there's no SWMBO here to tell me otherwise!  ;D So I built this:



(Ok, I didn't build it, builders did..)



Like the 300ZX , Aaron. I presume the girlie MR2 belongs to  Mrs A.... ::) ::) ;)

The garage and my small office are my domain, the rest of the  house is hers. 

I used the dishwasher for the spare heads recently and I was early forced to buy a new one.  Even though the smell of oil went after a few deep cleans, she was adamant that it still smelt of oil.  Next time ill do it when she's out (like I normally do......)

Why didn't you keep the old one, and install it in the garage? Then you could you use it any time you like.

Joking aside, do dishwashers actually work as parts washers???

I've got an old dishwasher doing nothing in my garage, with a water supply, drain and power supply right next to it!  ;D :y

That is a nice looking garage, I helped my friend build a double garage last summer, it's not quite as nice as yours but we were limited by space. Also we've not gotten around to the finishing touches.

I still haven't quite finished mine either.. which is why the walls are still a nice shade of pink  ;D (very red plywood with slightly off white emulsion = pink walls, apparently!)

Need to float the floor level and lay some flooring down, put up some shelves and so on and install the sink & water heater.. then it'll be done :)

'course the backside fell out of the stock market so now it might be a while before I can afford to build the project I built the garage for!  ;D

 ;D ;D No no, there's no Mrs A.. But the girlie MR2 is faster than the 300ZX - it's far from standard :) 'course it's also going to get sold this year.. or stripped, whichever is financially best!

I'm very envious of your pit. When mine was built with the house I requested a pit, but the builder 'forgot' to put it in, and I couldn't face digging it out myself. :'( :'( :'(

I got the guys who laid the base to dig out most of the hole with their digger.. unfortunately that was still about 0.5m too short when the liner arrived - man that was a lot of soil (thankfully we hit sand!) to dig out by hand..

And then mix ~3t of concrete to backfill it.. that was a very, very long weekend.

Should be totally worth it, though :)
