edgy Posted 5August, 2013 Report Share Posted 5August, 2013 Looking good FIG! Are the enamels repro's? or a mixture of OG's and Repro? I went to see my best mate in Melbourne over the weekend just gone.. to say I had garage envy was an understatement, he's built what i could almost only describe as an aircraft hanger I need to get cracking on my garage project.

FIG Posted 5August, 2013 Report Share Posted 5August, 2013 Cheers edgy, out of all my signs I have 5 repros (all tucked away so they can't be seen lol), not that there's anything wrong with them, it's just I like the 'old' 'rusty' stuff, it tells a story (unlike new stuff).

Seemed appropriate for this thread.... http://youtu.be/Orj5fR21WxM I loved that. Tell your Dad that is awesome Amanda. ... and you may mention that a girl cave is every bit as territorial... with just as many tools for removing stubborn nuts.

Harold996tt Posted 8December, 2013 Report Share Posted 8December, 2013 Love this thread! Due to a new baby I've just rebuilt the inside of my garage to also make room for my office/man cave. I was going to always update it with my cars inside but after paying huge rents worked my office into the space as well. Being a creative it's nice to be immersed in a space full of things you love. It's not finished yet tv/fridge to come ended up a rush as the wife popped before it was 100% done LOL - and vintage surfboards to be wall mounted. Working from home has its benefits. Pinball and surround sound has its perks I hate quiet office spaces. Plus on days over 30 degrees its a short walk to the beach. I want a space like this!

Black Pearl Posted 10December, 2013 Report Share Posted 10December, 2013 Having just watched the jack Olsen video sorting out the garage is my first project after buying my porsche ( ppi getting done on Monday) and finishing the MBA in July.

Harold996tt Posted 29December, 2013 Report Share Posted 29December, 2013 I know.. Not a lot of space.... Need to keep on a strict diet.... Have started to empty the place out more. Lucky both cars are small by modern standards! Place was actually built so one can look at the cars through the courtyard...a bit weird and obsessive...

TrevMcRev Posted 23January, 2014 Report Share Posted 23January, 2014 Just got the quote from a builder to do my garage... I thought it was pretty high... Show the wife (who wants to do a bathroom reno)....she says oh you should do it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeM Posted 24January, 2014 Report Share Posted 24January, 2014 My advice being in the building industry. (I'm not a builder or a chippy by the way, I do second fix and wardrobes/kitchens etc) Source the materials yourself from a wholesaler or even Bunnings for what you want, advertise on Gumtree for an experienced AND licensed older chippy or builder that will work for an agreed daily rate ( a lot of retired builders would be happy to do it) A client of mine had a quote for $35k for a huge gabled pergola. I told him the above, and he saved over $15k Other than that, Youtube or Google 'How To's' if youre handy. You'll save thousands. I built my 7 x 5 pergola and decking for $1800 and 3 full weekends. Woulda cost me $6500 Good tools, good advice and check your levels is essential to a good result Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
