FINALLY after 2.5 years waiting next week ground is being broken on my garage.

Just thought I'd throw it out to the BCF massive to crowdsource some ideas for layout.
I was thinking benches along the 5560 wall (may have snaffled some electronically adjustable standing desks from work )
Then cabinets (more work freebies!) along the 6300 wall until it gets too thin.
This should leave room to work and store stuff. 2 motor bikes and 2 bicycles need to fit in it.
Some neat bicycle storage ideas would be good.
Anything else you would to a virgin garage? ____________________ Well, you know what they say. If you want to save the world, you have to push a few old ladies down the stairs.

pics not showing for me.
However, I'd consider a power point in the ceiling.
I put four strip lights in a square round mine instead of one in the middle. Always get good light that way.
You going to be painting stuff? Maybe having a wee corner curtained off for spraying?/ In which case now would be a good time to fit an extractor (or a hole for one).
Build the security in. Put your ground anchors in when pouring the floor.
If you're not putting a car in it, does it need a door big enough for one? A smaller door is easier to maker secure.
I can't see how big it is but hoisting or hanging bicycles always seems to take up less space. ____________________ “Rule one: Always stick around for one more drink. That's when things happen. That's when you find out everything you want to know.”

Pity you didn't go for an apex roof.
I fitted some fold in/out bicycle hangers. With the handlebars inline with the frame, pedals removed, sits pretty close to the wall.
Seal the concrete then lay some old wool carpet down where you'll be standing/working.
A big dobbing vice...bolted/welded onto a steel framed bench which in turn is bolted to the floor.
You need tunes dude...Old car battery...that old player you didn't throw out yet with the 4 speakers you saved.
'Boom-boom shake the room' (repeat ad nauseam) .
Sundries:
Big roll of paper towels.
An old bucket cut down its length can be attached to the wall. Cut a slot near the bottom to access your rag supply. <<<I've literally just invented this in my head...yes I know I'm like Aerons Adams rainpal crazy but not as stabby plus my idea will not save lives.
A stool on wheels.
An Enger-land flag....xenophobes tend not to steal from their own.
..but yes, some sort of wall decoration made of fabric to reduce the chill and noises..I presume you call-out when you cum..or are you a silent cummer....don't trust them myself.
A pane of thick glass. Handy for seeing if bolts are indeed straight...or clutch plates and spacers. I use a glass chopping board that somebody in their wisdom bought us.
Soffit/wall heaters taking care that they don't burn the england flag....do not get a blow heater.
Looking forward to seeing what you end up with. ____________________ Diabolical homemade music Bandcamp and Soundcloud

^^ agreed on apex roof.
Please don't consider carpet. Its a fire risk..(ask me how i knows)
for instance, should your fuel tap decided to not work the day you remove your fuel tank and the petrol soaks into the carpet it will not leave for a long time...If you have/get and welder and have to weld something on the bike that's sitting over a carpet, the break off bits of molten metal will set shit on fire fast.
Oil spills from half a dozen or more services will leave big ol wet patches. You'l only lay down in that oily patch once
On that note. Another thing every garage should have is a big fk-off fire extinguisher.
Oh, and a kettle. |

Ok fair enough wool carpet is a fire risk and harbinger of little nuts but it takes a fair blast from a grinder to make it smoulder.
Oil and fuel spills....bin carpet and put down some more....oh and stop spilling it.
I went around the back of carpet-right and got a narrow roll of thick wool carpet out their skip.
A C02 extinguisher plus the usual powder type....spring loaded escape hatch...don't use springs like this https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/YOUAAOSwbw1Z-ynw/s-l300.jpg ____________________ Diabolical homemade music Bandcamp and Soundcloud

Have the floor floated. You will need it smooth to roll bike stands and trolley jack etc.
Insulate the walls and roof to keep damp out and heat in.
Ventilate like a hoowur to let damp out.
Small Garage consumer unit for all electricals.
LED for lights. Outside and inside.
And work lights at bench (so you do not work in shadows.)
I have a CO meter/alarm in my garage. It kicks off after about three minutes when the doors are closed and there is a bike engine running.
I will never be able to top me-sel'. ____________________ Disclaimer: The comments above may be predicted text and not necessarily the opinion of MCN. |

Extinguisher is a very good advise/advice. ____________________ Disclaimer: The comments above may be predicted text and not necessarily the opinion of MCN. |
