Two bikes in the lounge makes using the oven for engine paint curing pale into insignificance - respect. 😎😎😎

PS I have a sink on our garage unfortunately no hot water though.

I certainly will, so will her indoors, there are currently two motorcycles parked up in the house as the guys needed access through the garage to complete the base and I wasn’t leaving them outside. She’s looking forward to gaining some of the garage space back, apparently we need a dog washing sink installing in there now!

Compromise and get a parts washer they can share.
One day I'll have the time to restore it, not just talk and dream....

Genius idea… squeaky clean dogs and a toy for me!

Looking really good, in by Christmas :).
Do yourself a big favour if you are leaving the concrete floor, pour some self leveling screed over the top. If will stop the dust rising from the concrete and leaves a smooth finish that is a lot easier to clean/sweep than plain or painted concrete. If you are planning on working out there in the winter insulate the floor, there is nothing worse than working for hours whilst standing on a sold concrete floor and feeling the cold come up through your feet!

The shed will have an insulated wooden floor with damp proof membrane and 20mm T&G floor boards, so I’m hoping that should be quite comfortable, relatively speaking.
