    Well tomorrow is the day, start of a small refit in the garage. a first in 14 years since I moved in.

    lots has been added and moved but nothing very much.

    So roof going to be removed and replaced with a fancy "non leaky" roof. hoping it will stop raining inside :(

    plans are as follows. and are on a budget side, Mainly as it i don't have lots of £££ like many others

    Flooring should look like this

    my basic kitchen worktop and homemade shelfs will be replaced with

    I have new fluorescent high frequency cool white lighting to go up.

    Shelfs I do need to make up to stack the wife's freezer and tumble dryer :eek:

    a few pics so far. and the House has a room full of tools, roll cabs etc...

    hope it's worth it in the end

    I'd love a garage, about the only regret I have is selling my old house with 1 double length garage and 1 double garage + workshop.

    Enjoy

    It's not cheap yet saying that the interlocking foam flooring I had was £8 a pack and I needed about 15. the roll flooring was off the top of my head about £110 for about 10 x 15 feet long. that was from Costco

    Cool thread, Rem. Can't wait to see what it looks like when it's finished :cool:

    Is that the rubber coin flooring stuff from Costco? Is it glued down or anything used to join the lengths together?

    Assuming of course that it's the stuff I was looking at that comes in thinner rolls.

    Right, it was going to be 1 day to do the roof but will be a few more hours tomorrow AM. only the side panels and a few bits to do.

    I've decided were I can put the twin lights and will be getting these Protector 2 Mini IP65 10W LED Floodlight | City Electrical Factors for the front of the garage mainly as the wife said I can ;) and I can hook it into the system for the lights. With the garage door that comes into the garage I cannot put twin florescent lights at the top end.


    Spent 3 hours after work removing shelves. going to pick up the workstation with my BIL on Sat. Started to paint the walls in teh area I am putting a few things and moving the freezer and tumble dryer. freezer is great when working in the garage. Room temp beer in freezer for 20 mins. nice and chilled [​IMG]

    Just to say removing some of the flooring and as the garage in 1 area is about the same height so can get wet and is at the moment. Could I seal the floor and add the self leveling flooring?


    f yes any suggestions on the best places to get the self leveling flooring paint stuff?????????????

    My garage has a 9ft by 16ft internal floor areas so wondering how much it may cost to do this
