Nice idea for the ramps and axle stand storage, I am always tripping over mine! Agreed they are ace - any chance of a picture of the hangers for the axle stands cos I can't work it out They are just some 4” box cut on opposing corners to make 2 L shape brackets. Then bent a 1” 45* angle on one edge. Drilled a hole in the unbent side to then screw to the wall.   sorry not the best explanation but hope it helps. |

How tedious is painting breeze block 🥱 especially after a 14hr day at work. Only one pillar and the section of wall where the ramps and axel stand live then on to painting the floor at the weekend hopefully.  Hadn’t realised how not white the walls actually were. |

Did you paint a sealing coat first? I've used watered down pva glue before, seals the pores making the first coat of actual paint stick rather than get sucked into the block.

To be honest I just painted over whatever the previous owner had painted. It seems to have stuck well and stayed white so that will do me. With the floor I used Leyland trade floor paint. Swept and then blew all the dust out, followed by a 50:50 mix of paint and white spirit. After 2 days then a full coat of straight paint. |

Gave the wood a coat of satin black and wrapped the doors in some red vinyl tonight.   Tomorrow see’s the garage being filled with the long awaited project car. |
