Garage face lift. - jomo - 30-08-2020

So for a long time i have hated not having enough work space in my garage, so i have being on the look out for a s/hand kitchen to fit into the garage, not going for style or looks just practicality.

Then last week a neighbour collared me and said that they were getting a new kitchen, so i offered to take their old one off their hands Big GrinBig Grin

Plus a mate of mine who's a kitchen fitter owed me a favor so today we cracked on and made a start.

The garage before we started.

Couple of issues:

No TV
No Manchair

Apart from that it looks functional.

Are you planning on opening a restaurant in the garage? :biggrin:

Garage face lift. - jomo - 30-08-2020

LOL guys, got a pc with wifi to go in and a mini bar that should fit underneath the work top.

The carpets staying as i dont use the garage for parking cars in, looking at some racking for the wall and new lighting as well.

Also going to get a new vice and bolt the grinder, mini drill and pillar drill to the work top.

Ill keep updates coming as and when.

Looks good jomo, always good having a man room :lol:

Nipped to B&Q today to look at paint for the unit doors, and new lighting.

Bought 6 double sockets and backing plates and was looking at plastic trunking to hide the wire, but think ill run the cable through the unit bases and drill a small hole to feed it back up to the sockets that are going on the walls.

But first things first, it needs a **** **** good clean!

New handles were needed!

The new handles weren't the same size so had to make a precision bit of kit to help drill the new holes!!

Stereo was relocated for better radio reception, plus i'm gonna run a pc in the garage as well, so i can use the stereo as a sound input.

Wanted to have this this out of the way and off the work top, so i took it to bits and fitted it to the underside of the shelf.

Last job of the day was to fit the new sockets and wire them up, cant wire them into the mains as i dont trust myself to do it, plus the guy who works with me is a lecy so he's gonna do it FOC, winner.
