Had one in the floor for years and I have another one in a box to be fitted post painting.

I am the proud owner of the only garage on the street.

Foccin 'ell. What a way to spend my week off. Well, two weeks off. The weather has been ok, apart from the wind. On a test run last month my gazeebo thing got trashed. I repaired it and it has help up well. Until tonight. It had been fine all day. Then I called it quits at 7 o clock and went inside for a bath. Got out the bath and the gazeebo is all over the place :rolleyes . Pictures of that tomorrow.
I have the workspace empty and the painting is about half way finished. Tomorrow I am going to paint the wooden beams grey and make the first coat on the floor.
Then (probably on Monday and have a rest on Sunday) I am going to do the second coat on the floor and paint my go-faster stripe.
The rest of the week I will pick through what is going back in, cleaning everything and building my new work benches - a metal one with a vice and pillar drill, and a wooden one with a bench grinder and work lamp. Both benches will have backboards that will accommodate tools and parts bins.
Oh, and I am having 20-25 A3 laminated posters made up. Just searching the net for some great pictures that reflect me, my space and offer a little inspiration.

And here is the plan for the layout.
Re: The perfect workspace - adeejaysdelight - 10-03-15
The weather is good today, so I am currently between coats of floor paint and trying to kill 4 hours. But I can't leave the house as all my stuff is lying outside :rolleyes .
I should have the painting finished today. I have decided to put panels up on the ceiling to help retain some heat and keep the cold out a bit more. I will try get that done in the next couple of days.
Here are a couple of pictures

Well its been about 15+ days graft sorting the foundations, drainage, damp, subsidence, painting it, tossing out the junk, building storage and sorting everything... But I am finally (almost?) there
. Happy as F-O-C!

Re: The perfect workspace - HarryHornby - 24-03-15
looking good.....
2 questions, if I may.
Is that a standard size garage?
What have you used to get your bikes off the floor, I've been kind of looking at pulley systems for a while but never got round to making my mind up.
Re: The perfect workspace - adeejaysdelight - 24-03-15
Fazersharp - :finger :lol . The top and drawers were part of a coffee table that was left in my house when I bought it. I try and recycle when I can.
Harry - I don't know if a standard size garage is a thing, but my garage is nothing out of the ordinary. It takes a fairly large car and two motorcycles, or five motorcycles. The car lives outside :lol .
I have pulley's for the bikes. Although I would rather mount them vertically on one of the beams as they take up less space that way. A 6in nail would do for that. Or a hook. The pulley's are good, but I often bump my head on the wheels. I also have to remember to turn the crank so that the pedals are out of the way.
