It's been a long while since I've been on the forum - Stacey and I moved back in February and we've been sorting the house out, alongside work being busier than ever.
We were previously in a 1 bed coach house, fortunately with 2 car ports underneath and one rented from next door. We had no outside space the house went straight onto the street with no back garden. With lockdown taking place, this meant that I was working in the kitchen / living room constantly with no escape from work.
Around September we thought f*** it we need to get somewhere else, the toll on mental health was crazy. So I found small place, but crucially with plent of garden / space for vehicles! We finally completed in Feb this year. This meant my own office with a spare bedroom

My office

It came with a double-car port, and I've always wanted to have a well equipped, tidy garage, so the renovation started
We started here, no doors

Filling with stuff

Electricity in thanks to a mate, and starting to insulate and board it out

Replacing the shelving with some new units (I've always wanted a roller cab!)

The roller door went on

More boarding, and some flooring

Boarding finished and half lights put in (1200 x 300 led panels. I have 5 currently wired, 2 on the back slope and 3 at the top. The others need wiring, so 9 panels total on 2 circuits! Perfect for detailing!

Some nice downlighting on the outside

So, a complete overhaul and I love the place. It's just big enough for 2 cars and 2 motorbikes. The plan is evenutally to get a 4 post lift to enable 3 cars to be stored
Here it is from the inside - such a great place to do work
