There is a room above the garage, so not really. That said all the cars are low so you could..... If I do I'll probably go for one of those scissor lifts instead as lower and still gives me acces.

I am in the middle of painting mine, the garage logo has got this far, I just need to add the name.







Once this is finished the chequered black and white floor and cabinets will go in

I would love to say yes but that would be a lie. I actually cut it out of a metal sign someone gave me at work for my Secret Santa present. I then mounted in on a block of wood so that its stands off the wall. It gives it a great 3D effect

The previous owner even went to the trouble of tiling the splashback areas when he moved the old house kitchen into the garage for the full kitchen effect.

The sink and tiled floor are welcome additions. The long run of kitchen units makes reversing in a bit interesting, and they're not particular great for storing tools.

Here is a few of mine... it shows the versatility of the hoist, which I use for both cars and bikes, and as a work bench. In the side annex I have a workshop with a lathe, milling machine, drill, bead blaster etc.

Insulating the door, and fitting central heating has made a HUGE difference to working in there, as has the addition of more lights (not shown in these pictures)

Cabinates are cabinates. Would spending 4K on some steel cabinates look better? Yeah it would look more slik. But reusing the old cabinates when you rip them out of the kitchen is a great idea.

He could always paint them red/black.

Sometimes you got to make do.
