Hi, This is my first post on here. Ive spent many hours on here tho reading other peoples threads sone of which have been a good read.

Im working on the garage currently so I can basically have a decent-ish place to work if need be when Im not at work.

This is what I had to work with a pretty much std garage dark and dingey full of spiders and lots of random items dumped in there.

Heres some pics

As you can see its fairly crammed in there....The garage is fairly small being 2.4mtr wide x 4.8mtr long and around 2.2mtr in height when standing in the middle of the floor.

My intention is to try an make space of a milling machine in the centre at the back just behind were that light bulb is....

I Bought a load of cheap shelving from ebay and put anything on them to start with....

Then after a good few trips to the local dump managed to start making some space at last.....

Kinda looks like my shop. ;)
 
The garage is about 50 years old so the chassis has rotten away the leg supports in places as you can see here

I cut the rotten metal away, bolted on some new angle iron and then cemented it.

Ive concreted around the bottom inside edges so all the supports and panels are now held in place really well.

Now the garage is supported like it once was I made a start on the paneling.

A couple of trips later to B&Q l had a load of OSB3 Panels and timber beams.

Drilled into the the chassis and bolted the beams to it also filled every hole with expanding foam.

Then made a start on cutting the panels to size and screwing them onto the beams...

I got a load of cheap bike inner tube and stapled it along the bottom edges of each board were they sit on the floor.

Then fitted the boards to beams I'd already bolted to the garages chassis.

Then painted it in white....
