We are getting turfed out our Government flat this year so had to start looking for a new place to live.
Missus decided it would be best to get some thing that could cope with my hobby
Think we saw about 16 places before finding this one - what a slog , a few had good potential and we were on the fence about , two had enough land to build a small test track on but location and condition of buildings wasn't ideal.
All in all we wanted to stay clear of wooded areas - feckin oodles of bugs ! sloped areas for land / mud slides , near rivers for flooding and not in the rabbit warren housing schemes they build
But we chanced upon this place and went to see it - instant hit with me and meets all our criteria too !!
I'm busy renovating the house just now but almost coming to a close on stage one - theater room and kitchen with new kerosene boiler for hot water & bath. Everything else we want to change in the house can be done when we are living there.
So once I complete the kitchen it will be into the garage to shelf that out for parts then the workshop will get a mezzanine level at the back for storing all my bikes body panels and tanks . Bike ramp roughly central , old kitchen installed along the wall to give wash sink and cooker for boiling chemicals Found a media cleaner that runs on domestic power that does a top job and future plan will be chemical baths for plating.
Garage & Workshop looked huge when I first saw , looking a bit smaller now with only some of my kit in it
