looking good. every time i see your car i always think it looks so pretty and that its such a shame that gts cant get their act together and get more of them on the road.

do i spy the duratec in the background hope it will be in and running for stoneleigh you cant be far off fitting it now? unless its just the camera angle it looks like you could do with a few more lights in there?

also did you buy or make the workbench? im after a new one as the one i have is too big.

Built the bench a couple of months ago. About £70 worth of wood and a day to make. Nice and sturdy (legs are 4" posts).

Could do with a few more lights, but its not too bad as I have some portable halogen floods.

Yep thats the duratec hiding at the back

Light would be better if it's given a coat of white paint, but it's a good size.

Not bought a house sadly. I am moving in with Sarah. There is a flat attached to their house, which they own, and her parents have said we an stay there as long as we pay half the bills.

So really its a cheap, but great, stop gap while we are still saving for a place of our own

We are in the process of renovating the flat itself, but I got the garage finished first so moved everything in there

Perfect size garage david,very workable.

As said earlier white walls would help.

White walls would be good, but as the building is very old, and the walls are a bit damp I dont think it would be a good idea.

Its not as dark as it looks in the pics. There is a window which is currently boarded, which I intend to open up which will let a lot more light in.

You might be able to cure the damp a little by checking the drainage/guttering,and if you do paint the walls one trick i have used is mixing in PVA to bond.

The mental gymnastics a landlord will employ to justify immoral actions is clinically fascinating. Just because something is legal doesn't make it moral.

The reason its damp is that next doors garden level is about 2' up that back wall. So the whole back wall is damp. Not a major problem, I just dont store anything against it. Guttering is all fine.

The buildings all date back to mid 1800's so no damp proof courses either.

I ahve no idea where you would start looking for something similar to rent

Sounds like an ideal arrangement, and you have your priorities in order. Nice to see in young people these days. Having a refuge will allow much $$ savings, as you won`t be in the pub as often. Do mention this often.

Yep, thats the best thing about it. Its cheapish living meaning I can still save a substantial amount every month. But we still have the freedom to do as we like and I have a big garage and workshop (next to the garage) to play in when I get time
