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

[Snoopcousins]

Got a tap installed inside the garage,
Small thing- but makes such a difference not having to drag the hose round from the back, and takes like 10 seconds to get everything ready now!
And the water pressure is definately better now too.
will eventually design a tidier job with the hosing etc, maybe if I ever get a Krenzle..

What make is the hose? The reel is a good job, would definitely make life easier. Mine can twist when wrapping it up which is a pain in the ass.

My previous one was Directhoses but this time to keep it simple I got the 20m hose from Cleantec as I got the MTM hydra reel and a few connections from there too- they supplied the connecting hose (reel to washer) with the correct fittings attached..
And getting a quick connect stubby gun with swivel is such an upgrade kver Karcher gun!

Something else I’d recommend would be to get a reel for a compressor hose too. I have a 10m auto winding one and it’s dead handy for inflating tyres from numerous locations, rather than having to turn the car etc.

Shed finished today. Got some shelving for it.

Glad I went with the clear panels in the end and not the roof.

Just to sort out the electrics for lights etc at some point

I went for the side windows out of fear of condensation drips from roof panels but I still wanted lots of light.

All this pressure washer talk reminds me I never got a new jump hose made to go between my reel swivel and the new ava pressure washer. @Big Pimp where would do a male Ava fitting?

They don’t seem to do the fittings separately.

What I’ve done in the past for customers is have a hydraulic hose shop cut their existing hose thing and lengthen it with a joint. Then they still keep the fittings and it gives them the extra length they need

@Snoopcousins

That is a Great setup! Is it Retractable or Manual?

 

[Dave..]

Does anyone have a Krenzle and are they as good as people say?

 

[Snoopcousins]

Thanks!
It’s manual, takes like 30s to wind it all in neatly.
It s the MTM Hydra reel

Found it, 30m on Cleantec, £70 odd quid, off to order one..

Pet hate is unrolling, unkinking and tidying away my 25m hose.

Nice, that’s the one I have too,
Yea with the reel it takes no time to wind it back in.

Yep me too, I'm waiting on a quote coming back from a guy I know. Another guy I'm having trouble getting out to price up the job. Good luck lol

Looking to hard plumb the pressure washer inlet from the tap rather than just a garden hose…
Obsessed Garage setup wud be cool but looking a cheaper way of tidying it up..

I think someone on here has a similar DIY system installed - wondering what fittings they used

I';ve been thinking a bit.....

I do have some of these spare - they are the fitting from the pump to the reel on the AVA washers.

In theory you could lengthen this and have it coming from the machine inside to a reel outside....

I would love that as well but if you ever price it up let me and we could try a group buy

Matt from Obsessed Garage has some setups, his house in Florida and the one in Georgia are fantastic.

Yea been following most of his stuff from his early days, never thought his hobby would become such a huge business

 

[Statler]

Just purchased a 30m anti-kink rubber hose from Direct Hoses plus a link hose for my Karcher.

I've a 15m thermoplastic hose that twists worse than the storm that hit poor Dorothy and Toto in that film...

Hoping to be able to keep the Karcher at the garage door and just run the reel out

No pics, but @carmad. came and fitted a new water heater and an outside hot water tap at mine recently and I have to say, it's one of the best things I've ever done.

Thanks again...

hot water in a shed makes a difference esp hand / car washing in the winter
