Well - I promised...

Some pics of my work-in-progress (aren't they all?) workshop.

Up until about 2 months ago , this workbench was 1m x 2.2m and seemed to fill about a 1/3rd of the workshop, now reduced in depth by 30cm and the bike-lift fits!


Image


Image


Image
The wooden unit next to the workbench isn't actually park of the workshop: it'll become a new bathroom unit with a sink sunk into the top of it.... eventually.

err -yeah, I may have a problem....

Who was planning a basement workshop with lift down from the pavement outside? Did it happen?

Just moved in a week ago so this is my blank canvas, or will be when I can sell the wardrobes that don’t fit in the house.

Start with a nice floor. I love my plain white jobby. Looks good, easy to clean and easy to find stuff you drop.

That's a good idea. It'll have to wait until spring though when it gets warm enough.

Guard your floor space jealously,get as much as possible off the ground and out of the way.

Just down the road from me. Builder made two mistakes: You don't build garages/shops here with the doors facing South or West. Metal shop door faces South, other building has the doors facing West:

This place looks big enough:

Maybe try googling "40052 18th St W, Palmdale, CA 93551" & "850 Nygren Rd, San Miguel, CA 93451"

The 2nd one has a 6000sqft *garage*

OK so... Inspiration needed... I have a clean slate, so to speak!

Image

And yes, that really is my new garage... And no this isn't a humble brag... I know I hit the jackpot here, it was previously used as the site sales office, ours was the last house to be built on site and I lucked out... But then it was also a major consideration in buying the property rather than anywhere else...

Image

Yes, my garage really is larger than most of the 3 bed detached houses on the estate! :D

So please help inspire me... 3 motorbikes, many bicycles, a 46" SGS tool chest and an Abba Skylift already owned and to be accounted for... The rest is pretty much a blank slate!
