Following on from the what have you done for her lately thread, where do you all do your work? Finally getting my garage back in order after a couple of years so here are a couple of pics, notice the inventive use of old dishwashers, and the handily placed central heating boiler to keep me warm.
Looks like a useful bit of space you have...and dry!
My garage has a "bit of a leak" at present and seems to be in permanent state of rearranging to fit in whatever new machine, gadget or car I've bought...but will try and get some pics this weekend when the JTD hopefully leaves it! :)

I have recently made some workshop adjustments as well.. I decide to renovate a larger shed that is closer to my house - and move my hoist there. As the shed did not have a floor, i took the opportunity to pour 500mm thick foundations where the hoist bolts to the floor. So this is my Q4's new home..
so its sorta finished...
Having one building like that was bad enough....but two! :cry:
You can go off people... :smoke:

There is only one thing wrong with that shed Jim, its way too tidy. Where is all the junk that everyone else seems to accumulate?
That's how I like em.. it does get very messy if I have to pull the engine or gearbox out though..
Althought i don't have a lot of mechanical knowledge i encourage myself and made some work on my car last winter (you can see it on my post.. http://forum.berlinasportivo.com/showthread.php?t=1613 )
And here's my little, clean and "italian" space LOL , i have to say thanks to my wife who made it posible :cheers:
Before Biggie's wife touch :D :

P.S. Jim I have a lot of envy in your elevator, unfortunately it do not fit in my garage :cry:
Hmmm, another neat and tidy garage, looks like I'm going to have to sort myself out and get tidying.
So Biggie, whats the story behind the squashed bike silencer?
Thanks Steve for your kind words ;)
About the story behind the squashed bike silencer, it's a "present" of a motorbike crash on "Montmel? Circuit" when i was racing with my Yamaha R6 at Catalonian Supersport Championship, I miss that very much :cry:

Love your Garage too, Biggie - I have bought some paint for mine. but It seems such a big job that I haven't started! Anyway I love the way it is painted and the general feel of it.. A great place to work on cars...
jim.
Ahhh, my eyes...that's far too neat, tidy and CLEAN!
(jealous really)

Still had the Matta at this time, which was quite small, SZ purchase meant I had to swap everything around and will need to knock the doors about to get both the SZ and Q4 in together :eek:
MESSY...as a garage should be :lol:

Will get some more pics of the new lay out...

is that an inspection pit steve!.....
Yup...only a small one though, just about the length of a car :lol:

But does it have the obligatory inch of water at the bottom of it with an oily sheen?
Sadly it's only halfway there with just some spilt oil to it's credit...although it does have a BBQ! :smile:
