Exactly. I have to display a resident's parking permit so I got some clear plastic and sewed it in to the cover. Works a treat. Anyone need their socks mending or a nice dress made? :teeth:

Do you like Ferrari's by chance Nige? :dry::lol:

 

Nice bit of usable space there. ;)

 

I was a proud owner of a 360 about six years ago. Had it for two years. Expensive toy at the end of the day. Looking at em now the look dated. Back to being more sensible these days with kids and the like. Lol

^^^^ That was half way through mate that whole board is full - Yes used drawers still have at least 3 draws full of spanners as well :blush:

 

Like that they are easy to find and when you finish a job you can see at a glance if any tools are missing. Each to their own though whatever works for you :)

 

My wife knows just how sad I am about my tools and made a special cover for me. Bless her.

Didnt know there was a garage bragging thread :)

 

Mines still a work in progress 10 years on

 

I started with a shed, it was nasty inside , not enough power , no heating , lots of mice and things went rusty overnight

Then got to spec my garage as part of the house extension

Built to the same standard as the house so well insulated plumbed with two rads and Sky TV - It has the potential to be turned into another room if needed by new owners or over my dead body!

It was very much a workshop when I was racing, I spent until 10pm most evenings in there

When the bikes all went it was time to get a better floor

and occasionally change the toy

The 370 has caused me problems with the floor tiles moving about , so they had to come up and I repainted the floor with 2 pack epoxy to see if it would last - It didnt by the way

The during the winter of 2013/14 we had ground water coming up

But the car kept snug

Then it got worse

Thank god I painted the floor , as it was much more manageable and the damage was minor

 

Fast forward to this week, tiles back down this time gripfill holding them in place and a new toolbox which allowed me to make a longer workbench

 

My old workbench, vice and drill have been relegated to the back room
