Kevin Abbott Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Hard work extending a garage and I know what your'e going through, but it will all be worth it in the end when you can play with your car in a nice big comfy garage looking good.

Paul Barrett Posted September 26, 2013 Author Share Posted September 26, 2013 Well after a failed attempt to my practical exam in crawley due to major accident on m1 this morning decided to do more on the workshop. Whacked up a looong shelf for more crap to sit on. Also started getting the level of floor sorted with some deep base leveller, next when i can afford it is thw whole floor in a heavy duty surface leveller then epoxy paint, all down money now.

Paul Barrett Posted November 17, 2013 Author Share Posted November 17, 2013 (edited) Concrete base done managed to squeeze in couple of hours friday afternoon, mixing all that by hand was hard work in a barrow, but has saved me a fair but if cash. Can get on with a little insulated shed now Edited November 17, 2013 by novashed 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Barrett Posted November 21, 2013 Author Share Posted November 21, 2013 Found. Few hours today to knock up some timber frame and feather edge As luck would have it my 150l compressor fits in width ways, more room for othe crap! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manta again Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 When you said you were making a shed for your compressor, I imagined it would be much smaller. Now you've gone an built a timber extension to your man cave already.............Good job. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Barrett Posted November 23, 2013 Author Share Posted November 23, 2013 good result this morning. went to see a very nice and interesting old boy who's is gradually clearing out 50 years worth of his business tooling, restoring all sorts. Done a deal on very good condition myford ml7 lathe and a belt linisher, he's even dropping them round in the week as his sister lives up the road from me! so that's more kit in the workshop ive always wanted, just need source a blast cabinet now.
