i have just moved my car into a 'clean room'it was originally made for the manufacturer of cd-rom making equipment. i.e., if i fired up the
a/c it will generate a dust free environment. not so clean these days though, but big. and i have the essential hifi and microwave!

Also have a Lay-Z-Boy recliner that my mum was going to chuck out as it is huge and no longer used! perfect for those times of thought and
desperation!

Ah the cheap hoover.. one of the more essential tools... hoover up the swarf as you go... saves it getting in the sole of your boot then taking it in
the house and scratching the floor... Winds my missus up something chronic

2. Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.

Do what does the dryer spin to and in what gear? Isn't it easier to just use an electric motor instead of a 1960's designed engine? How
many spins to the gallon do you get?

My garage is fairly cosy. It has two massive TV's (too big for the house), a beer fridge. Kettle. Tumble dryer. Four cars. and another two
storeys that have yet to be filled. I'd love to post a piccy but I 'd rather not invite the wrong sort of visitors!

Garage
This is where I worked for years and built all my cars.........
This is a Reliant Kitten which a really small car.
I now have a 30m2 garage.
The secret is to have the garage as a workshop and NOT a store room!

problem for me is i have to store my car bits / tools / steel / wood somewhere and the garage is the only place.
Just get jelous / desponant when i see all the huge places then wander into my garage and have to move 10 things to do one job.

Mines long and thin, but it does the job (the garage!!) and it lacks the all important beer fridge, boo hoo.

The shed on the back is now the store room, had to build a ramp to get the ride on lawn mower in there though for me dad. Also the workshop are as the
bench an everything else is out there too.
My original plan was to build another workshop round the back, thankfuly the old man relented which saved me some money I could spend on the Indy

If you have to use you garage as a store the secret is to maximise your space. So keep the lower 1.5 metres clear and store things high on the walls.
If the garage is long and thin then you need more width so store things at the end.
I was so obsessed with having space I used to store most of my car in my bedroom!! So I was for ever carrying the new / clean parts up and down the
stairs. My bed was also higher than normal beacause I figured that the space above the bed was wasted and more space underneath would be good for
storage!
The worst part is when you have to strip down for final clean up and paint, then you have so many bits. Fortunately my parents went away a lot so I
could use the dining room to store everything!

Not too cosy, very cold in winter, but got a propane space heater now which helps a touch!!
cosier in terms of space than it should be, due to lots of big items that don't really move (lathe, bandsaw, tig, benches etc etc!!)
