Decided that it is time to rebuild the garage.
The house that I live in now with the Memsahib and our lovely daughter is the house I grew up in. I moved away some 20+ years ago and after relatively recent changes in my domestic set up, I came back to live here when my Mother passed away three years ago. With house just about done, thoughts changed to the garage.
The main areas for concern were that the roof and timbers had really had their day and one of the walls was badly bowed. The whole building was a bit bent but I put this down to a visit from the Luftwaffe in 1941 when the area was bombed. I wanted to keep the character of the garage so decided not to do a full rebuild. I guess I am just too sentimental. I have fond memories working with my Dad in there and this was where I learnt to look after motorcycles.
A blokes garage is a very personal space and I wonder how you guys feel about posting a few interior shots of garages you know. The more atmospheric, old skool, the better.
I will keep updating with progress if you guys are interested and will start with a few shots of my own.
