Fizzy T Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Is it wrong that I could happily put my double bed up there and live in that place lol There's something about working with wood *yeah I know how it sounds* that pleases me, Crafting something unique in a place with so much character. Where's the workshop based? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee P Posted May 14, 2013 Author Share Posted May 14, 2013 Realised I havnt updated this thread, so thought I would post a few pics of the changes to the workshop end of last year. We opened up the workshop to make room for a ramp and also took up the wooden floor James having fun with the floor lol Ashley hard at work Not quite sure what James is upto here lol Once the wooden floor was gone we already had some concrete down but had to dig down a bit further for the ramp, what a mess that was!!

Lee P Posted May 14, 2013 Author Share Posted May 14, 2013 (edited) We then prepped the floor ready for levelling With the help of Jamie we levelled the floor with self levelling compound. The two post ramp was then installed We then painted the hole workshop and used 2 pack epoxy paint for the floor Edited May 14, 2013 by Lee P (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee P Posted December 27, 2015 Author Share Posted December 27, 2015 (edited) Haven't updated this for a while so thought I would post some pics up of this years upgrades. We have now revamped the original single car workshop that I started in all those years ago. As we now had the two ramps in the main workshop, this room was only getting used for storage. As we have a lot of big projects on the go the main two ramps were being used for them which left us no space to do servicing or alignments. What we wanted was to build a dedicated service and alignment bay for doing smaller jobs that would be available when we needed it. We started by clearing the space We then had to pull up all the old floor which was wood floor on top of a thin layer of concrete Edited December 27, 2015 by Lee P (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee P Posted December 27, 2015 Author Share Posted December 27, 2015 Concrete base going in, then the shuttering. Shuttering removed and now time for some paint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee P Posted December 27, 2015 Author Share Posted December 27, 2015 Ramp being installed, we went with a Snap On 4 post alignment ramp. We then painted the floor and installed some new lights Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee P Posted December 27, 2015 Author Share Posted December 27, 2015 The recess was then finished off with some steel plate edging which we painted red. We covered around the edge of the recess with some black floor matting Next step was to install the storage units and worktop We went for a fitted setup rather than a toolbox to give it a nice clean look. We also installed a flat screen TV which we use for the alignment. This can also display the camera feed from above so we can see when driving onto the ramp.

mwilkinson Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 (edited) Nice update Lee. I didn't realise you had the geo alignment facility. I'll have to have mine checked in the new year I also need my aircon rad replaced. Seems you're literally a one stop shop these days.
