I make do with my balcony for cutting, routering, sanding and making a mess and the rest of the house for everything else. I have one bedroom as my model workshop and at the moment I have a big sheet of polythene down in my living room where I've been epoxying and gluing.

Workshop essentials? A workshop! :D

Why do you think all my Covid-19 making things photos have been taken in the back alley.

You can then hang up all your shovels, forks, secateurs, ladders, lawnmower, etc keeping the clutter off the floor. Even brought ours with us when we moved house! I will let my (older and wiser) brother take the credit for that idea: he is anally retentive about the tidiness of his garage! :lol:
That's she'd stuff is that, shouldn't be within throwing distance if a garage.

That is true, I have a garage full of motorbikes, my pushbikes and associated tools. We have a shed that has the wife and daughters bikes in, garden furniture and bits of my daughters car interior (and in the winter bits of my motorbikes I want to store out the way). A second shed has the garden tools in including jet wash and general garden crap plus my two portable work benches.

Ah but this is the allocated "garden section" of the 8m x 4m second garage that we have, which has our trainer bicycles in and our motorbike in its own section at the front. Car is in the other 6m x 5.5m garage, which also houses 2 freezers and a fridge!
Life’s for living, so let’s get on with it! :P
