Small garage project
Discussion
Hi All
Just sharing a small garage project. I have owned Aston’s since 2008 but until July of last year never had a garage to put them in.
As you can see from the pics below the outside and inside were a bit tired to say the last. Over the past couple of weeks the doors have been sanded and varnished for what looks like the first time in over ten years, the walls have been painted and I have added a couple of items for the wall including some excellent wings from Tony Hall. Thanks Tony. Great service, great quality.
Still have the ceiling to paint white and have some slate colour garage floor paint as well.
Post all that I need to get some good lighting sorted!
Regards
Josh

Hi
No the garage was built many years before the Rapide was even thought of. The pictures don’t really show but there is more room than there looks, I just park it close to the end.
I have enough room either side to open the doors and get in without doing some sort of sideways limbo and can stand at the back of the car with the garage doors closed.
The good news is that it is a double garage and the wall on the right is a wooden particion so at some point would like to get that removed to really open everything up. But for now just wanted to spruce things up a bit.

Ha yes
Not planning on that route yet though. The garages are in an annex with its own electricity service. Separate bloody account though. It’s like running a small home! And not made better by the teenagers leaving lights on in the games room over there! Going to make them pay the bill themselves #soundinglikemydad

Hi all,
Small update. Lights starting to be fitted. There is a sensor in garage now as well which means that when I open to door it activates the floor and Sign lights. I have put a temporary floor down to see how it does. Garage floor tiles from B&Q. Lights will eventually run all the way around the floor. (Apart from entrance)
Still have ceiling to paint, but that is not fun!
regards

Would it be impertinent to make a suggestion, Josh?
I wondered about boxing in the utility meters, including a small access door to take readings.
Sorry to suggest extra work.
