the garage i worked in was an old farm building, used to actually be the house my dad was born in many years ago, then made into a farm shed. then i started to use it.
it leaks abit of water thru a few holes in the roof, had one light bulb for the whole shed and one plug. the light was so poor that come 4pm on a sat in winter you had to pack up and go home as it was so dark inside and the one plug meant extension leads everywhere etc.
the door was a big sliding door which leaked water in and banged about. basicaly a tin door.
so finally in january i decided to sort it out so me and my dad got stuck in...
so this is the outside of the shed

the to fit the new roller door we needed to close the door opening in abit as it was not level or true etc so we were going to build it down abit until we talked to the door guy who said a more popular way of doing it was to make a wooden frame and bolt it to the walls around as its easier to make and tie in to the original walls. so we did this got the roller door mounted and then covered the wooden frame in pvc cladding. the door is a 9ft opening and 8ft high.
(inside of door, can see the wooden frame)

yeah its good now i got more plugs/lamps and decent weather proof door.
have the lights wired onto 3 seperate switchs and with just the middle 2 lamps (4 tubes) you could work all night in the garage.
never painted the walls and floor tho, was going to but now there is so much stuff on walls etc i think ill just leave it..
