	It was an old dairy and certainly smells like it was. The “workbench” at the end is an old trough that is seriously well built with steel reinforcement. So first things first we knocked that out....... Yes that’s me being a curse word, can’t help myself and I quite liked the “floating step” That’s better more space for cars and no more rat infested “workbench”

	Then it was time to start the lowered and insulated ceiling as it looked hideous and if you were to do any painting it would look like sandpaper by the end...... Onto some plasterboard now, we did all of this with just the two of us so had to get creative when doing some bits.....

	Then it was time to block up the old doors and rip a wall down to make the upstairs one room.....which involved raising the floor too. Then onto the ceiling upstairs...... Smooth the floor over and hope for the best.......as I’m definitely no builder!!

	Turning out great! Fantastic what some hard graft can do and lets face it, with these spaces being so few & far between, it's worth the slog

Yeah it’s definitely worth it due to the savings in rent alone and as you’ve said they are few and far between.....plus after working in a single garage it’s lovely to have space to swing a cat!!

	I think tidy is a bit of an understatement! Looks great, it's got loads of character as well.

Thank you very much, it certainly was a hard slog for a while and had to do a bit of overtime in the day job to pay for it.......definitely worth it to have space, power and light to tinker with bits and bobs 👍.

	Good space and a fantastic tidy up too. You’ve also got some handy kit to make good use of all your hard work.

Thank you very much, slowly getting there with the equipment......try to get as much second hand etc or dad tends to turn up with something every couple of weeks as he’s a resourceful ole fox picture 👍.

Thank you very much, once I have the all clear I’ll be back down there to tinker and get it tidy ready for the next project.......not sure what it is yet but I’m constantly looking and doing man maths to see what I can afford!!
