Lucky Phil Posted 22December, 2021 Report Share Posted 22December, 2021 I am about to start the build on a new house and I have a blank canvas to start from with regard to the garage. Dimensions are 6000 x 7850 x 2885. Looking for fit out ideas (work bench and storage and floor sealer/covering suggestions) Only need to house 2 cars but would like the flexibility to house another on a temp basis if necessary. Double garage door only is being fitted for just the 2 cars so the extra width is for storage work bench or extra car every once and a while.

Raven Posted 22December, 2021 Report Share Posted 22December, 2021 Work bench,s and storage mine are bunnings kaboodle kitchen DIY , Floor sealer , have the concreter do a steel trowel helicopter finish on the slab and seal it with a concrete trade sealer either clear or a tinted clear if you want a colour , available in flat , satin or gloss very easy to maintain , durable and a 20 liter drum covers 100 square meters for $150 a drum , lighting LED as many as you need those led hexagon honey cone lights are very popular at the moment and look very cool ..

3legs Posted 11November, 2022 Report Share Posted 11November, 2022 I wish. My 15 x 6 m shed is full and my missus won't let me extend it ( again ) Good thing I suppose. I would only fill it up again with more Porsches or bikes Dalai 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MFX Posted 11November, 2022 Author Report Share Posted 11November, 2022 Definitely need more room. I should do another video on my shed, as although it hasn't grown in size, it has definitely added a lot more functionality over the years sleazius 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fantastic! Can't wait to see what you've done. I just picked up some hoists, which is going to require mods to one of my garages, I'll be sure to post some pics up when they're installed. 3legs and hugh 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sleazius Posted 12November, 2022 Report Share Posted 12November, 2022 Probably about the same as what the boss said to me when I proposed moving into a ex-factory before we had kids. Lead balloon. tomo, edgy, Dalai and 1 other 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lead balloon. A cracker idea sleazius. About 18 years ago we had bought our acreage land a few years before, and Terese had finally fallen pregnant. I proposed that we build a shed and live in that while we figured out the house plans and build. She said no. I countered that if it was good enough for Jesus to be born in one then it would be good enough for our child. She said no. We lived in a caravan and shed on the property for 3 years only after he was about 10 months old. She was a killjoy. I did enjoy the house work though. Open the roller doors and fire up the leaf blower. Job done with only a faint waft of lingering 2 stroke 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lead balloon. Friend of a friend lives in a warehouse with a huge mezzanine living area, and their old VW's parked underneath in the Adelaide cbd. Coolest place I've ever been in We lived in a semi industrial area in our 2 units. Made a killing when we sold them to look for a house, and at the same time a brick factory a street away came up for sale within our budget, so I suggested that instead of a house. Thought it was a goer when she suggested we go have a look inside 😳 I was up for it, but her majesty didn't have to say a word with the look on her face. Dare say it was probably a good idea to abandon that potential financial nightmare sleazius 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lived in a huge mezzanine apartment upstairs. I did briefly consider a few years ago when for sale buying an old Ambulance station further out closer to where I grew up outer east Melbourne. Had a huge garage area with a rundown 2 bedroom house attached. Was quite reasonably priced in the end, so if I sold my current house it would have freed up funds to renovate and buy more cars to fill that garage. In the end was mid Covid, not the best location and I like where I live now so didn't follow through... https://fletchers.net.au/26108/28-pitt-street-ringwood Grimmy, sleazius and 3legs 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
