Dave Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 Ok, so you all know I've been getting a double garage built to keep Ruby and Dawns deck nice and safe. We;;, glad to say it's all up and done! Still got the electrics to go in (this saturday) so got an extension cable in there just now. Also still got the driveway to sort out, needs another ton of gravel, and Dawns raised border retaining wall needs to be rebuilt to make everything nice and tidy again. But the garage.........over the moon with it!! Got more space inside than I'd actually thought it would, can open all doors on both cars when they're in , and room at the front for a workbench and shelving etc. Here's the pics as requested! The guys start unloading the garage, ready to be built. And during the build Dawns deck couldn't wait to get in! Plenty room inside! Sooo, decided to invest in some new stuff for the garage. Got a new work bench, as I reckon I'll be spending a lot of time in there! Then went to hang up my tools. Dawn got me a a cracking tool box with tools, but wanted to keep them in the box (it's one of the ones with the drawers etc) so started hanging up my old tools.................and they looked pants! Half the sizes of spanners/sockets were missing, so back to Machine Mart and bought some nice new tools from they're Clarke Pro range Full set of socket extensions New set of sockets, which go all the way from 7mm up to 34mm (iirc) and a new ratchet Then thought, hmmm, those look nice with their wee stand.............so new set of screw drivers. And finally, a brand new set of spanners, again from the Pro series. These are mirror finished, so look sparkly! Full range of sizes from 6mm all the way up to 36mm. Really love them, and they're multifit heads, which mean they fit normal nuts/bolts, and also torx and hex bolts too. Was going to move the steel shelving from my shed to the garage, then thought, stuff it, so got brand new steel shelving for the garage too. And the wee special thing i had got for the garage? Proper "Honda power of dreams" banner! Ruby and Dawns deck seem to like it! Oh, and excuse the dust/dirt on both of them when the photos were taken, they've both been properly cleaned since then! Finally, all tucked up in their beds! And to make sure they stay safe in their new home, the garage is also alarmed. It's hooked into the house alarm, which is linked to the Police, so all secure. Lovin' it! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted October 9, 2013 Author Share Posted October 9, 2013 lol Honestly, can't tell you what a difference it makes! Charged up Dawns battery, and without the hassle of removing it from the car this time! Just knowing I can start a job, then if I run out of time I can just shut the door and leave everything where they are and go back to it when i have time.
