My garage was a dusty dumping ground in where the Capri would just squeeze in, so I said right before I really begin to tackle into the Capri, the garage needs a bit of sorting out!
As my wife said it was like me getting a nursery ready for a kid!! Which is probably the best way of describing it!!
Before
During
End result (90% there)
Next up is to put a work bench down the LHS and put the Capri back in!! But after the major clear out now there is actually space all round the Capri!!
WOW ! What a superb garage you got there...even got a window. That's the sort of garage I dream of owning. Mine is an en-bloc one and while its a very decent size for en-bloc its nowhere near yours. Nice one fella you doing a great job there. It will be a joy to "live" there...ermm sorry I mean work on the Capri "every so often"
Its funny you started this thread as I am about to empty mine and paint the brick wall white to brighten it up and paint the floor with that grey garage floor paint too. I will be having a clear out soon so will have a few bits up for sale here soon
Good luck with the rest of the garage mate
All the best

I agree, that`s a really nice garage, really good size too.

It`s amazing how much difference white walls make, the whole space becomes twice as bright `cos whatever light you have is reflected off all the surfaces. I did the floor white once, that was brilliant if you dropped some tiny part, bit of a pain to keep clean though!
Cheers Nick & Steve, ya the white walls make a big difference but a nightmare to paint, it took almost 20L and that was only one coat, but couldn't justify / afford getting it plastered or anything, will give it another coat sometime, should be a lot easier!
But it's a way brighter in there and at least now it'll keep a lot of dust at bay! Going to give the floor another coat today now and that should see it nicely finished off and might start the bench as I've a lot of stuff left over from the house build that should do the job nicely!
The almost impossible challenge now is not to let stuff pile up in there again!
