Love the open plan

And that garage is hugeeee!!

Ours is about 1/3 of that size and ridden full of spiders/cobwebs so I’m a bit reluctant as what to turn it into!!

Cheers Buzy, like a lot of things at the mo I’m just not sure yet! Everything seems seems to have happened at a whirlwind pace after months of no progress :roll:
I’ll take an executive decision soon (and then mrs Smartbear will tell me where it’s going) :rofl:

Of course mate, I’m not sure how I ever fitted everything in a single garage as I seem to be rapidly running out of space already! :o

Still you could probably fit a storage platform into that pitched roof - for wheels and other exciting things! :)

And you need to update your profile now - you're not in Chelmsford any more! :P
I’ve already thought of boarding it out with plywood for some extra storage space :thumbsup:

Did you de-clutter before you move? After 16 years in the “new place” we’ve still got unopened boxes of junk we obviously don’t need !

At my age the next move will directed by man with a top hat and tails not an estate agent :rofl:

So I bought a 35is with all the toys to play with. :thumbsup:

Hi Ron, yes we did de-clutter! Far to much jetsam & flotsam occurring :o

Great job! :thumbsup:

Concrete floors really need painting to stop dust building up.

I'd go for a 2nd coat to be honest - 20 or so years ago I built a garage at a previous home and I still regret not putting a 2nd coat on the floor!

I used a two-part "Industrial" paint, but the first time I put a bike on it's centre stand it went through to the concrete! :headbang:

PS - some interesting looking rubber-gear hanging from your rafter! :lol:
Coupes because stunning!
