7 Cars in the Badger cave now and still plenty of room (click for decent size pic). In my defence, the Prius and Swift aren't mine, colleagues are just using me for airport parking at the moment.

Not mine but belongs to "tesco terry" just outside exeter
I'm sure it can't be this bloke, must be someone else, but someone got caught shagging the housekeeper on camera because his wife went back through the cctv footage of the garage to see if she could work out where she had left her keys.

Divorce on the cards, probably half a car collection for sale soon

Here's my garage, cleanest room in the house laugh
(it's not quite finished - more painting to be done)
I guess you had nothing to do with the position of the window. Imagine if the tile edges lined with the door edges on the cupboards wobble

Nothing as special as many on here, but I picked up the keys to my new abode this week and I'm very pleased with the garage space.

Unfortunately there is a step between the two areas so it's still a one car garage. Will be nice to have an area for my workbench, tool boxes and shelves for parts though.

Will be getting a lick of paint and some better lighting, along with some choice wall art.

That is a really weird garage space. Such an odd use of space.

Nothing exciting from me, I just have a double detached garage where my M3 lives and another car I'm going to purchase this week!

I am about to rent a unit for my old classics though, as we do plan on moving when we find the right house/land for a purpose built garage!

Boinging this thread because:

a) It's full of inspiration

and

b) Costco have an offer on at the moment for the New Age Pro series which is very very competitive compared to the likes of Garage Pride

http://www.costco.co.uk/view/product/uk_catalog/co...
Garagepride's prices are better as far as I can work out. http://www.garagepride.co.uk/newage-garage-cabinet...
CostCo's offer was cheaper when I posted the link, but as I didn't need all the items in the pack I went with GaragePride and got a good deal from my new friend Ken. Very happy with the pro series they are bloomin sturdy but fitting the wall units was an effort.

It's the bottom floor of a 3 story town house. The "L" wraps round the entrance hall and staircase to the rest of the house.

The house is also built on a slope, so the "middle floor" becomes the ground floor at the back and I have a normal garden.

Means the garage has a bit of a "man-cave" feel with no windows. Hence the requirement for some better lighting.

All a bit odd but I'm happy I can make something of it smile

Its a shame that that gap is not a little wider as your would be able to get a project car that doesnt need to be moved in to the l area

I'm just about to move on to a brand new house with a good sized treble garage.

After looking at the usual options I think I've landed on an epoxy paint for the floor

Can anyone share a recommendation for DIY application?

Roller it on, do as many thin layers as possible. I did about six on mine and it seems to be pretty much impossible to chip/flake/damage.

Very nasty and quite pervasive if you have an integral garage. If so wait for a nice day so you can leave the windows open or send your family out for the day. I speak from experience.

Thanks. Badly written question from me. I was meaning to ask what epoxy paint to use?

Garage has been here before, but I just built a nice big car port outside it, or a 'pergola' as the wife calls it, with polycarb sheet on top to keep the rain and sun off. Effectively increases my usable space though.





It had to be ready for my daughters birthday last 13th July, so i was up there in the rain and sun getting it done.
