Your Garage!

[DanDare]

For those of us who are lucky enough to have a garage in this world with ever increasing house prices, what's you garage like.

Mine contains many framed pictures of semi clad women on MotoGP bikes. 8)

A crap piece of left over carpet to keep the bike on. :?

Many Flags draped down the wall cos I can't afford or be arsed to paint them. :oops:

Cross Trainer the missus bought and used only twice. :x

Weights bench I bought and only used once! :oops:

Shelves with countless tools and decorating kit and I still cannot find what I need. :x

Oh and a big black Spider called Nigel! :lol: :lol:


My mate is looking at Marble flooring for his cos he work's for a Grand Prix team and is a jammy git to be able to afford it. :shock:

[thor]

Mine's got loads of boxes in it, because I am moving :(

But it used to have a thundercat engine in it!

[quikstu]

Mines full of crap with an Audi (the wife's!) & the SV squeezed in up the front!

:D

[Cronos]

On one side I have shelving with various items including assorted tools and DIY equipment, motorcycle accessories, bulk purchases, tent, cleaning materials and unwanted Christmas presents. I also keep my wheelie bin on that side of the garage.

Down the middle is a rather large E Class which sort of domiantes the space. :shock:

Along the other side is a tumble drier and the CBR1100XX.

I did manage to squeeze the SV infront of the shelves, but it really was impractical so that's now in my parents' garage. :wink:

Well mine contains


SV of course

2 off 8ft cabinets filled with tools/fittings etc. 1 8ft set of dexion with paint/ reels of cable etc. Workbench, roll cab and tool box, paddock stands, compressor, welding gear etc.. All the above is justifiable what is not.

Lawn mower, lawn rake. gardening tools. push bike. Son's tools (why does he pinch mine?) 6 ft upright freezer, 4 ft fridge. ahhhhh


ok fridge is full of MY beer. I wanted a shed and greenhouse for all the gardening stuff behind the garage. £3500 later we have a nice patio with gazebo and pretty place to sit and drink Pimms of a summers evening, but nowhere to store anything.

[$i]

- house decorating stuff like sand paper paint etc on shelves.
- long steps on wall bracket
- Lawn Mower
- B&D Workbench far back (barsteward 2 get out!)
- old cupboard @ back with various things in.
- Tools
- Paddock stand
- section for all my motorcycle stuff i.e old exhausts/panels/indicators
- another shelf with oil, chain lube, and bike cleaning stuff
- Mini Moto far back in bits atm (fitting new clutch sept 04)
- my cbr rr

- New triumph sprint

Full 2 the brim in other words. Could'nt live without 1!

[northwind]

Mine is a horrendous tip... I get about 4 square meters for the bike and related stuff, the rest is all mountain bikes, 4 lawnmowers, decade-old tins of paint, old doors, wood offcuts... Plus various assorted props from various unsuccesful amateur dramatics shows, and an old lighting desk.
And I've been spraying in there with not very good sheeting, so everything's covered in paint dust :roll:

But then, I get it for free so I can't complain.

[TC3]

Mines a metre wider than the average garage and linked to the hallway. White walls, doors to the garden and hall and electric garage door 8)
One side has couple wall mounted mountain bikes...other side has shelf units and a cupboard for my riding gear. Tools are all on racks at the back of the garage. Garage is real well lit and has loads of power outlets as well as cold water supply.

Bloody great it is :D and it only house my SV as the cars are banned :lol:

[Daimo]

Current garage the car n bike are in...

Got lots of car related stickers on the cupboard (Like PiperCross, K+N, women with not many clothes on :D etc etc).

Also got a 3ft plastic covered poster of the girlfriends front cover magazine feature that was used at car shows.

New one will have lots of car pictures, and bike pictures. 2 cars, a bike, some tools, nothing else!!!!

Mr Super V, I said garage, not Warehouse :lol: :lol:

All totally respectable in everyway except the Wicker Chair. :oops:
Shame on you! :oops:

[tricky]

Mine looks a lot like this:

[Supervox]

Mr Super V, I said garage, not Warehouse :lol: :lol:

It's only a standard sized garage - honest !! :D


All totally respectable in everyway except the Wicker Chair. :oops:
Shame on you! :oops:

The wicker chair came from my parents garage after they pssed away - I just haven't found room in the house for it yet.

But, in mitigation for this heinous 'crime' might I point out that it is not possible for anyone to sit on as it is below the shelves & has my sailing holdall, & a Baglux tank cover on it ??

[Supervox]

. . . Tools are all on racks at the back of the garage. . . .

PLEASE don't tell me that your tools have little outlines drawn around them so you know where each one 'lives' ?? :P

[haggis]

PAH! Why settle for one when you can have three. :D

For ease of reference they are usually labelled the garage, toolshed and barn. None of which have ever seen a car. Actually that's not true, my uncle kept his Morris van in the garage but he died before i was born!

I fear I might break the server listing all the stuff inside.
So to summarise the barn currently has a semi-dismantled SV, gardening junk, ladders, old paint etc. and my knackered mountain bike.
The garage has the Gixer Z, bike tools and lubes, my genny, two car bumpers, bits from our wind generator (!).
The toolshed has a lathe, bench grinder, arc welder, workbench, every wood and metalwork tool known to man and a sea of swarf.

The rest of the space is crammed with junk.
