Sorry the pictures looked as if the ceiling was too low. I was thinking about disposing of my old Westinghouse and digging a pit.

However as the arthritis is getting to be a big factor in my life, don't think I would like clambering in and out.

Your garage looks very desirable, all you have to do is stop yourself filling it with projects.

Regards Kels.

A few more lights...

A couple of stainless steel 'Service' lights, constructed beautifully and located next to the ramp




Bit of an odd ball this one but I've owned loads of Brink towbars and just had to buy the sign when it came up for sale

Another one arrived today



I need to be inventive with this one as there is no light in it and nothing to attach it to the wall...I have a plan though

Shocked

Spent a couple of hours with a sheet of plywood and a jigsaw cutting out a circle of wood that will be screwed onto the wall. The plywood was a little too thin to catch the screw holes on the sign so I attached 4 blocks at the correct spacing to allow the sign to attach to the timber. Then I screwed the timber to the wall and fitted a light base. I have to wait on a new bulb so can't see how it will look lit up just yet. I went to B&Q website for the price of the bulb and they want £10.00 for one, so a quick check on the internet revealed the same bulb for £3.00 each.
