I am moving into my new house next week which has a lovely double garage, of course this was not the reason this house was top on my list
I want to try and kit the garage out into a mini work shop with space to work on one car at a time. Does anyone have any pointers or suggestion form there experience? any pictures of your garages and layouts will be good as well.
Cheers.

Agree about the flooring. Painting takes forever and doesn't last so we finally put in floor tiles from PAF Systems . . . http://www.pafsystem.com/interlocking-tiles.html
It was so easy. We made our own design and, in a few e-mails with them to ensure we had calculated it right put the order in. It comes to about £25 per sq metre but the results are brilliant. It is attractive, comfortable to lie on whilst working and a synch to keep clean (mop and some washing up liquid in water).
I would strongly recommend it.
We have a four car garage and the picture shows half of it. My wife and I laid it in a weekend. It was easy to cut to size for the edges although I should have left a little more space at the edges as, in the summer, it can buckle when it has stretched out in the heat and hit the walls.
They did warn me that the lighter grey tiles can discolour (yellow) with the reaction to tyre rubber which it does tend to do but it doesn't really detract but bear it in mind with where you put the light grey.
P.S. It is also easy to replace the odd damaged tile (like when I wheel spun the XJS on it!)

The amazing truth is that my wife and I laid it together and we didn't end in a divorce court! It was THAT easy.sdmurray said:

Thanks for this it looks like a really good system.It was so easy. We made our own design and, in a few e-mails with them to ensure we had calculated it right put the order in.
