When we bought our place in Spain 11 years ago, the underbuild garage was one of the things that persuaded me to buy. We saw a few show houses with tiled underbuilds and that's what I fancied doing with mine but it's taken me a few years to get around to it.

Since November last year, though, I've been on my hands and knees most days tiling all around the outside of the house and - as if that wasn't enough - I then pressed on to do the garage. Outside was about 100 sq mtrs, the garage a mere 80 sq mtrs.

Anyhow, job finished this afternoon - at last!

Before:

and after:

I doubt it will ever be this clean and tidy again!

That's a showroom not a garage! And plenty of room to get more Fazers in there.

Hey bikes are good, so it's not all bad! Congrats mike, it is well deserved considering the happiness you bring to all your fellow foccers fitting ivans kits aroung the globe.

I'd kill for a nice big well lit bench like that. And, oo, you've got a compressor. Now I'm really jealous!

That's a Full Monty 9/10 from me Mike .. as always a nice job, done right, once, first time

I'll look forward to checking it out myself .. maybe one of the sunny ride-out days later on this year.

Stay Safe

(Just for info guys .. that Garage of Mike's is much larger than the whole job lot of our apartment!)

Room for more bikes? Hmmm, don't give me ideas ...

And there's enough room for me to wheel mine round from next door to get my new tyres fitted when they arrive

. Having seen the tiling for myself, both outside and down in the garage, I can confirm it's a top notch job all round. Good choice of tiles by the way.....not jealous of the underbuild at all!!

No reason to be jealous, mate ... you have visitors' rights and the benefit of the works discount, after all.

pitternator · « **Reply #19 on:** 09 April 2013, 01:38:49 pm »

indeed a very nice job mike. I have to say though I have seen those tiles an awful lot over the years in spain !They must get through millions of the buggers.

Has construction industry rejuvenated at all over where you are m8 ? It was very dire....

Falcon 269 · « **Reply #20 on:** 09 April 2013, 05:22:58 pm »

You'll have seen similar, Jon, but I've not seen these anywhere else over here since we arrived over 9 years ago. And you won't be seeing them laid new, either, as the manufacturer changed the pattern and colour completely just recently. Fortunately I was able to finish the garage with a couple of sq mtrs to spare.

The construction industry is still in recession overall but there's some new builds going up where we live and these are selling, surprisingly, considering the glut of new-built, not-yet-occupied holiday homes on the market and the retreating expats flogging off their older places at bargain-basement prices.

Think I'll just stay where I am for now ...

Cheers, mate!

Mike
