Some stunning garages / shops. Mine is internal to the house and I reluctantly allowed the wife to stable her horses in the garage for a couple of years. I had stables built outside and then kicked her and her bloody horses out.


The start of the tear down







4 x 4 posts & 3/4 ply didn't come down easy







I had to steam clean horse crap of the walls & ceiling. All the walls have now had 3-4 coats of paint to cover the stains





No it's home to the vette but still a work in progress







workshop area





more workshop





more workshop








just refinished the entrance door





3 more to do. My arms are falling off from sanding..

Thanks jr73. I have 4 pairs to do but wanted to complete one pair first to give me the incentive to carry on. Each pair took 4 days of sanding

One of the cool things about old threads is how the pictures on servers change and you don't see today what was posted years ago.
