pulled down a nasty porch type cover thing which was just falling to bits, so i thought fuck it.. its coming out.
and it looked so manky i had to just wash it
and i finished cleaning the garage door, i really could do with painting it again really.
then i finished polishing the car and took a pic.. or 2

I'd personally paint that door. I did mine. Went from white-dark red-black. Black looks best imo.

Paint the whole garage white? Or leaving it pebble dash white would look really nice and fresh and match the house

started sanding back the walls so i can get them dead flat, i know its a little OTT but i want things to be spot on..
filled a couple holes in the floor with some self leveling compound.
some colours
decided to skim the old wallpapered wall, it would of taken just too long to fill and sand everything..
decided on the colour which is like a light brown, so sanded all the old paint back so it was smooth. also got the under pelmet LED's in place and wired up.
thats it up to press.. door handles need to go on.

Black Nickel sockets and light switch would finish off that kitchen... Just an idea.
brushed chrome ones with USB inserts is what we are going to go for i think 
just a little update.
first coat on the walls is now done everywhere and the ceiling is finished.
added strip lights in the glass cupboard to show off the glasses.
my ferrari shell glasses , each one was £38 and i got a tank of fuel for free. lol
strip lights under the pelmets added also, these come on with the ones in the glass cupboard
pantry almost finished, just need to paint the shelves
also, added a wine rack to the top
cats got a new toy also
