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

[Daviddunlop83]

We used to have a massive issue with it in a warehouse we had but put in some heaters to regulate the temperature and seemed to help.

It was patchy then I opened the 3 doors and it got a lot worse.

i presume with it being bare concrete it doesn’t help.

The floor upstairs is still drying out too

 

[weeloaney]

Probably still a lot of moisture in your concrete to come out plus the current weather is very humid. Should pass hopefully.

Mine does that on muggy days also @Daviddunlop83 No idea why mind. Can only assume maybe concrete pour is not thick enough?

Mine is min 6” thick and it has membrane etc.

From looking online it’s def sweating rather than moisture coming up from the ground. It’s dry under anything that’s on the floor.

Yeah will be the difference in internal and external temperatures that causing it to sweat.

Threw out the rubbish that had accumulated, moved in a new roll cart as the orange mac box is full. Halfords cabinet beside the box to put the coffee machine on and the biscuits into. Need to get the walls painted and some new wall lights up.

 

[Q.S Gav]

Door openings and covered porch formed

Keystone lintels for carrying stonework and steel beams for carrying attic trusses.

Got a double four post lift from Down Garage Equipment to help with car storage. It also lets me put heavy stuff on top of the workshops, bonus!

 

[bigsigh]

Whats the width of that shed @NoGrip ?

 

[Lyons]

What a delightful collection!

 

[NoGrip]

Whats the width of that shed @NoGrip ?

It's 60'x35', a Hugh Miskimmin special

 

[bigsigh]

nice, have just ordered something similar and that width looks perfect

Now that's a proper man cave, nice one @NoGrip. I'd love to have an area big enough for a lift. I'm sure that buggy is some craic

LOL, I built it for the sons when they were 12 & 9. Twin seater with Honda CB500R power. Tyre smoking stuff

 

[ilovequo]

Think thats the best garage I’ve seen on RMS...

 

[Crow555]

I hardly know one end of spanner from the other and I'm having serious garage envy here.

That is a class setup, more pics of the double 4 post needed! Your 2 post looks the same as my one, wee twin busch? What's with the support on the top and guidelines, concrete not deep enough and extra precautions taken just?

Yeah, it's the wee 4.2T Twin Busch. The floor is 5"-6" thick and I added the tension cables first as a bit of a precaution. Later on I added the overhead bridge which takes a lot of the stress away from the floor bolts.

I'm going to completely floor in the 4 poster so it's one big moving platform and I'll add some pictures in the next couple of weeks.

Lots of info & sizes on the TB website here: 4 post double parking lift

Funny I just ordered a 4.2T clear floor twin busch from down garage services after seeing a pair at blackline and putting the ram on one.

Would have loved a clear floor myself but just didn't have the height.

Hard working on anything RWD or 4wd with the cables in the way, they are a decent lift, the dodge ram is 23ft long and 3.5T and it had no bother with it.

Clear floor definitely the way forward, wish I'd gone that way myself! I learnt the hard way trying to wheel the MX5 on wheel dollies over the top of the cables/wee ramp. Not happening at all ffs

In th hope of rejigging the garage into a much cleaner bike workshop, bought a cheap 10x12 shed to stick a load of stuff in for a month or two. Just need to work out how to build the fecker.

 

[NoGrip]

Got some 18mm sheeting for the floor of the 4 poster. Want to make sure these two don't drip below

Dead handy now to get the heavy stuff up into the loft space too. Added some pipe lagging so I don't smack my bap . Just waiting on a mounting plate to reposition the control unit.

Did you build the new shed over the wooden one in the corner? Nice space to have as a workshop in the bigger space
