It should be the car.....not my every day one or the marina. They both sit in the runway at the side of the house. It must be years since I last kept a car in the garage. Mind you my garage is a 16 by 9 and once the car is in there is no room to work on it.Hence they are ouside. At the moment it is full of marina spares ( all in racks ) and I have my work bench. Mind you there are grand childrens toys as well. All in all its a garage but its not a garage. Am I alone with a garage like this. ??

so far I've managed to keep all the important stuff under cover, as Harley (currently 9 months) grows up I can see us buying a small shed to house his outside toys etc. I did allow some garden furniture into the garage for a while, but that has now been turfed outside again

Hi

In our garden shed, we have a train set, car parts, and a lot of beekeeping supplies, as does the garden! Woodworking tools in that one too.

Cheers

Dave

Fishing tackle, outboard motors (4.) Stored apples and onions, garden chairs and umbrella, Ariel sq 4, oodles of dead spiders, a rubber chicken and, somewhere... 3 cars. Some ivy has forced its way in from the adjoining hedge and the corner with the lathe is starting to look quite arboreal.

In mine:

Three cars - I am the only person in our road that puts all their cars away at night!



I have all shelving, storage, workbenches along the left hand wall



I try to keep the right hand wall of the workshop clear for a new project should one turn up, but I am failing miserably! Currently our old tumble drier that my daughter wants when her extension is finished, a big stack of floor tiles to go in the house, and a few boxes of bits!

Hey Brian, do I spy a Tapley meter, and a fine 2 gallon petrol can in there?

This could be a good game......see what you can spy in Brians garage. Is that a £19.99 jump starter from B and M.
Cracking garage Brian.

Good Game, Good Game (Exits Brucie voice)

You are both correct so far.

I even used the Tapley when the handbrake on the Cherokee needed adjustment for the MOT.

Not much else of interest, except perhaps two shelves below the jump starter thingy. Anyone remember what it is?

The grey boxes look like Royal Mail ones.

Penman - Close - Hoover Constellation, had it for 15 years just for hoovering the cars - great suction!

Rick - Karl Klink, a cast sign I found in an old shed when I bought my house. Don't know what it belongs to.

71M - Ssshhh - found about 50 of them in a skip after a community centre was used for an election hall. Guess they used them for counting voting slips. They can be stacked inside one another or turn them round and they stack on top.

The rest of the stuff on my "Special Shelf" Left to right, 1904 Oil lamp. half pint Castrol Can, 1960's Castrol Oil Bottle, Yellow Shell plastic oil can, Braine oil pumper, Metallic blue wide mouth Thermos.

My new garage although not finished (floor still to go in) houses my 2 Mercs and the Range Rover, the other garage is a generous 30'x10' and houses the P2. I have fitted a radiator to keep it dry and at the rear of this garage is my 15'x10' workshop

when you get a spare few weeks can you please come round and sort ours out, we have two garages and two sheds that you seem to just open and throw things in then when you want it you can not remember which one it is in, but we do have a Vauxhall Viva Ha hidden in one of them but that is now getting filled up with caravan and other spares, he has promised that we will have a clear out this year as we have still got spares for cars we no longer own, so when you are in Norfolk he could do with your expertise on how to sort stack and throw things away
