After 6 months of building works the extension on my house is finished & my TR8 has come home, I'm as happy as a pig in s**t!
When I say it's finished I mean the garage is finished apart from the electrics. The bedroom & en-suite above is still an empty shell & likely to stay that way for a while coz I'll be working on my car! [:D][:D][:D]

Wow, nice addition with the new garage Andy....actually looks a lot like the size of my sevens den(12x24)
(......and the way I wanted allways wanted mine to look before the house renos kinda made the garage more storage than shop......[V])

Did my best but there are more bikes in the shed, & another ladder on my van, but I'm still pleased, I've waited nearly 20 years to get a decent garage so I was determined to get it right.[:)] All the walls, ceiling & door are insulated & I've got a couple of heaters to put in so it should be nice & snug in the winter!

That looks really nice, Andy, & so handy. I have to walk 75 yards
across the house paddock to get to the car shed.
Still, you're a bit slow there mate. If the bedroom is just a shell,
that bike, & the ladders would probably look good in there.
Get everyone gets use to them there, & they may even get to stay, as
a roosting spot for the flying pigs.

It's Wickes own garage floor paint, worked really well.
If you're going to use it make sure you clean the concrete first with a patio cleaner or brick acid, then let it dry & vacuum the dust up. Then thin the first coat down with 25% spirit, this makes it suck into the concrete for a good bond. Then two nice thick coats applied with a roller. Don't drive on it for a couple of weeks to make sure it's gone hard. [:)]
