Absolutely love it.

With the before photos, I'd just moved in, had nowhere to put anything really, so it's all on the floor. Most of that is in the loft now and in appropriate boxes.

List of work done:
- Roller shutter doors w/ key fobs
- CUBIO freestanding/wall cabinets & tool drawer with perfo & louvre panels (the tall ones hold half a metric tonne, 100kg per shelf).
- Perfo panel wall and solid oak worktop & shelf
- New back door that isn't a piece of shit
- Insulation of the walls and ceiling
- Panelling on the left and right walls allows for modular shelves/racks/hooks/etc
- Loft boarding put in & a hatch with ladder
- New lights, sockets, and a data cable running into a WiFi access point (I might slap a network switch inbetween so I can actually run a cable to other things, plan to stick a TV in there).
- MMA resin floor, tough as hell, better than epoxy stuff in terms of function over form


Now all that's left is for the Sealey tool sets to arrive and to organise those into the drawers. Very chuffed with all the work done.

Just, wow!

[Honda434]

That looks freaking nice. Can I ask how long the process was to do the floors and was it a pain to do.

Looks really good mate, well done. I hope I can show off something as nice in a few years too!

Cheers all. Yeah honestly didn't realise it'd look this good in real life, just couldn't tell from the CAD drawings how it'd turn out but I'm in love!

[P.]

That is tidy!

Garage would probably cost more than the house I am looking at buying so... I won't get close to that but that is so clean

I moved in to my house in March 2020 - Literally the week the Pandemic was coming. We took a week off to sort out moving and decorating, took in no news or social media in that time. So we started with the garage you see here and no pandemic:

And finished with a painted floor and walls and a pandemic.

Since then I've done a lot more work and we're now here:

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.

Very nice.
If I had a garage that size, the boss would fill it with crap and her daughters rubbish. .

I have the ‘Pepperami Shed Of Bike Death’ , it’s a lot smaller than that.
However it’s at the end of the garden and I can lock it.
And I’ve threatened her with a hideous undignified death if ANYTHING not bike related enters my shed. .

Could fit at least a dozen more bikes in there and still have space for spares!

All the best

I honestly can't tell if all these positive comments are taking the piss or not.

Looks superb. My garage is both smaller, and a lot messier. I really should tidy up get rid of some tat.

[matto]

My new garage looks just like the 'before' pictures, but with way more boxes. The medium term plan is to make it look more like the 'after' pictures but to do that I need storage for the boxes in the roof of the garage.
So the question is, what did you have to do with the roof trusses to board the roof space out? Or was it just a matter of boarding on top of them?

[notbike]

[matto]

Ahh, ok. For me in the short term it's a toss up between boarding above the insulation in the loft or making a proper job of the garage and I'm not sure which way to go. Long term the garage needs to look something like yours but I really need to be able to use it, so the boxes have to go somewhere.
