RMS Epic Workshop/ Garage Thread: Show me your bench/garage

[weeloaney]

Unfortunately not finished as they had an issue with power which I’ll need to sort but there’s the idea.

I want to get min sorted this year too, pain in the ass having to go to the house when your working on something.

I left all the pipework and everything under the stairs , will be tight enough but will do the job. Ended up loosing about 1200 off the garage because of the stairs.

If i was to do it again i would put an external staircase at the gable and keep it separate as its the wifes salon anyway.

I had thought about stairs outside but it wouldn’t really suit the style of the house etc so I added a bit onto the length lol

That's epic mate, love the flush lifts!

 

[thefool1983]

I called him the day the base went down, he’s happy enough to build it after 3 weeks but I’ll keep the car out of it for the full month

I parked car on mine 24hrs later.. no cracks at all!

Mine’s 35nm so should be like stone, taking no chances though!!

Any idea of cost of that two post and where to buy? Cheers

 

[TalkToFrank]

I deffo think ill go a scissor lift when the time comes!

 

[Neil_M]

That's me just complete the cleaning and prep stage prior to painting.

Serious hours put in to get to this stage. Not sure why the P/O had to use so many rawl plugs!

It’s an 3.5ton EAE Lift, bought through Tyre Care, was just shy of £2000 I think. But that was back in February/March when we ordered it. Wouldn’t normally take that long to get but Covid slowed them down.

Plans are for a spray booth to go in that corner so that would be a pit with a pipe going outside for floor extraction

scissors are great, very handy and will work for 99% of mechanical jobs

Looks well @MarkM. You've probably mentioned it already, but I've missed it, sorry, but who laid the concrete base for you? Did they do the ground prep and trench work as well? We've just agreed on a property but it has no garages so I'm going to go the same route as you, with a space for washing cars in front of the shed.

Ah unfortunately I won’t be passing him onto anyone, sorry! Great job but the extras like the trench for electrics and reinstating the ground around it even though I told them I would do that, they absolutely robbed me for Really unhappy with them and had more work down the line but now not for them!!

Bad news Mark but hopefully once the garage is up you can put it behind you.

I will David, was seething last week though, basically tried to charge well over twice the original quote, got it down a bit but still really being robbed I can’t fault the work at least!

Some serious shed builds happening on here!

Me and the Mrs were on a hunt for a rental with a decent workspace, close as possible to Belfast centre, struck gold and move in next week
& at the price I'd be happy if the house wasn't included...

Step 1. Remove dead boat from roof

Old 2 poster got tore down today

 

[FM155]

Is it going in the new one?

 

[Gobsheene]

Finally after being in the house for 7 years i'm putting in a H2 Garage
24x12 to include an office for home working as i seem to only do that now.

Today starts the ground work and a bit of a change for the back garden too. Old shed is staying for Mower and bikes and stuff.

Are you not worried a shed that big will look a bit out of place?

Nope, it will look like a traditional plastered garage rather than the tin shed style.

What's happening the old 2 poster? Is it fecked or for sale?

 

[Chris0]

Anyone know other suppliers that provide rendering other that Abtech and H2? Or a seperate company that could render a steel garage once built

 

[weeloaney]

What's happening the old 2 poster? Is it fecked or for sale?

Just seen you tried to message me. Will clear the inbox.

but it’s partly cut now,we wouldn’t sell it, it could be 20yrs old and it’s the old screw type. But also the motor give up on it and we left it with a fella to fix like 2 years ago And he’s never brought it back. Hoping he brings it back fixed now, he’ll be told where to go.
The strong square posts we discussed would make perfect gate posts

 

[weeloaney]

Is it going in the new one?

Aye there’s a new 2 post going that shed. Need to dig up and redo the floor where to lifts going tho as it’s not thick enough
