Garage Makeover - So it begins....
Discussion
Like a lot of garages ours have everything but cars in it, time to sort this out, after 12years of accumulation.
Project is to :
Remove 2x Single Doors (rotted / busted / up and overs)
Remove pillar
Remove concrete span
Make good opening to new height, arches to go
Install RSJ
New Hormann insulated sectional
Door Operator
Door to rear garden
Form vapour barrier, frame out
Insulated Plasterboard / Skim coat
Plasterboard Ceiling, Skim coat
New LED down lights (instead of strip lights - looking at 3000 lumen variants)
Skirting
To Do's:
Flooring - TBD, trying to decide between Mototile / Ceramic / Resin or get machine polished finish to existing concrete+seal
Paint - wall colours
Mural or not-to-mural rear wall
Storage - Garagetek or Dura
External Lighting
Intenal Lighting for work areas
With the builders starting in couple of weeks its time to gut it back to bare shell.
Here is how it looks today :
With my youngest one's car :
Money !!!!! Found a few thousand HKG$ and several hundred CHF Francs
Hmmm - wonder this will be like 1996 Blended Bordeaux
Found some friends to go with the Bordeaux !
Also some vintage gaming - original BBC B - Elite !!!
This is going to take a while ..... Gratuitous Powerfully Built PH workout zone

My stolen Cisco kit in the photo ?! Phone as well ? Surely you don't have UC at home ?!
Wanna sell the pedal pork ?
You'd be hard pushed for this to be your kit, old "alpha" internal gear. All the old gear has been brought back to office.Wanna sell the pedal pork ?
Do I have UC at home, no the racks are long gone. No longer tinker / dev that at home these days.
Pedal pork not for sale.

You've not needed a garage all these years so why do you need one now?
Decorate it out, get a big ass sofa, projector and a beer fridge and you'll be sorted - it was the best money I ever spent!!

Ignore this heathen, this is PH and therefore a decent garage is definitely what you need.
great work OP, looking forward to how this thread develops

You wouldn't see that much 'Alpha gear' as you call it outside San Jose. Neither was it in finished and printed boxes, then it never saw the light of day when production kit became available, unless you were in development in Tasman, so I'm afraid you aren't being truthful. John Chambers himself said take all that stuff home did he ? Remember all the serial numbers from all kit is unique. Just seen what look like boxed MCS servers on that high shelf. It looks like about ten year old boxes, so you've been hoarding it for some time. Do I have UC at home, no the racks are long gone. No longer tinker / dev that at home these days.

You stole it from your employer, which ever way you look at it. Silly to post these pictures up in public.
