	did a little bit today, i am taking my time on this build as i am only doing it once. cut out the hole for the sink and put a cupboard above it. Also secured the cupboard to the back wall ready to clean it and restock it with all the paints and oils etc.

	Looks good. Will be interesting to see what sorts of space-saving solutions you come up with. My current garage isn't a million miles away from what you've got at 7m x 3.3m (although blessed with a tall roof). Taking full advantage of the verticality has been really useful. Lots of storage up high, and a mezzanine shelf above the working area. Using rafters for storage, hanging bonnets on walls, and making tyre racks up high has been really useful. Edit: popped links to the photos so it doesn't take over your thread!

	OK todays jobs were first to make solid the plywood floor on the mezz so tek screwwed it to the beams with body washers. Then cut the polystyrene filled panels to fit above the mezz. and fitted them in. Then took up all the spare tyres for the transit 11 in all. Ater that i cleaned out the IBC tank of whatever was in it Duramul ? Then found this beast in one of the filing cabinet draws, saved me a lot of heartache. bolted it down got a battery and a snatch block and up it went easy as. Lastly put the car back in and set up some stuff for tomorow.

	Looks really good does that! I get some weird satisfaction from fitting stuff in all nicely, like Tetris!
