I do 
at 40% too
Anyway, back to garages again... Tyre racks now up (apart from another one I'm waiting to be delivered - will go to the left of those shown below). Illuminated signage also in
along with some banners. Water pump attacked with a grinder fitted with a clean/strip disc, and painted:
The workbenches below will be sorted once I relocate some of my wife's Spitfire bits (the wheels, gorilla boxes etc you can see on top). The RH side will be my workbench with bench grinder, pillar drill, chop saw, vice and metal folder. The LH side will contain tools, hifi and kettle (all essentials!). Underneath will be for tool/compressor/welder storage with some space for parts (there's also storage for parts in the eaves):
Also put some art on the back of the doors! Second coat has already gone on the floor, and I'll fit the door seals tomorrow morning:
Next pics should hopefully have it all sorted with the cars in! Then once I've finished the rest of the house I'll be able to actually use it

I'm thinking of tiling my garage floor, do they have to be anything special or would either of these do the job?:

I am thinking of getting some copper on the (tiled) roof of my garage to stop the moss. Has anyone done this and if so, how did you attach it. I'd like to put one strip along the top ridge tile but dont want to put holes in mortar or tiles...
does it stop the moss? I have a problem on the roof of our house and garage with moss...sniff diesel said:

Really need to get prices for a roller shutter now, should prevent intruders with long hairy legs, one of these was inside a baseball cap I had on the wall.
