Don't forget good old fashion elbow grease.  Oh and the occasional can of Red Stripe......for when things get really quite tricky. |

I love recycling unwanted crap into useful garage equipment. An old dishwasher for instance makes a great parts washer. A beer fridge is also a must-have.  |

I can't help but think my ideal garage could be in my living room if I was a single man... but as I am not, then I would wish for a similar large space with good lighting, comfort and warmth ;-)

My mate used to put his wheel trims in the dishwasher when his misses was not around.They did come up a treat...
Old dishwashers are very cheap if not free aswell. need a good sized one aswell.

Alloy castings don't like normal dishwasher tablets, it turns black. Not a problem if you're going to polish/paint afterwards. I still need to experiment with some proper industrial detergents. |

If the wife would let me get rid of her greenhouse I`d have room for an extension for the fridge Nick, but there`s no chance of that....yet

Coming back on what you just said.....
Is a Greenhouse a good environment to store a bike or do you think it would 'sweat'... ?
A mate asked me this a week ago and I just did not know the answer.
