Man cave almost complete
Discussion
I've been working on the man cave for a couple of months now as a nice stable for the Aston. Had to completely gut the garage to do so. Paint everything in site white, add new lighting. A couple of signs, add new kitchen units and work top for storage. Epoxy coating the floor and get some pictures up! Add sofa and beer fridge and hey-presto almost finished!
I also took the Rapide AMR press release and had that printed and added to a long frame to put on the wall! Probably need to bathroom or something boring next

+1 What is even supposed to say?
1966 was a good year. Swinging 60s etc. and the UK was pulling out of the difficult 1950s post war period.
OMG 600D - Issued by Middlesex County Council in 1966.
( Surely not OM66 OOD ) -

Looking very good.
Planning for mine, so hope you won't mind questions.
Are your block walls single block thickness?
If so, I presume insulation is not necessary.
Did you consider plastering the interior of the block walls, or is that not sensible?
Absolutely transformed my concrete red painted floor and really good price. Use grey grout though not white, whatever you do !

Only the back wall is single as there is a small workshop/plant room behind it. The other walls are double so need for insulation
I looked at plaster as I would have preferred the finish but it would have been major job and quite costly. I converted the area above the garage to man cave also and plastered that, but budget didn't allow for the garage itself!

Why does my garage look like that for about 6 weeks before being filled with junk and stuff I just can’t throw away . . I’m assuming you have another garage for stuff like that ? Or just discipline. .
Yes that's the secret, no wives allowed and use different garage for storage!MMarkM said:

Ive just had my double garage dry lined and skimmed, over blocks, plus the ceiling boarded out, the footprint of the garage is 32sqM and cost £1.3k which i though was very reasonable. It took 2 guys 3 days to finish.
