Your garage looks very compact
Can you open the car doors when you park it in the garage?
I would love a garage with heating

jamie, read it! 500w and 230w. most ace!
3cm, depends on the viscus setting of the moon and dust filtration.
matty, it is a small garage but is i park tight up on one side i can open the door with ease and there is a fair ammount of room left front and back of the car, its deceptive without a car in it.
i wish there was a perminant power supply in there

look like decent lights, i am also getting annoyed as anytime i manage to pilfer a light from my dad he always takes it back up to the site after about 3 month of me having it or swaps it with a shitty broken one. ideally i need to rewire garage

While standard halogens are efficient, most people use much more wasteful high-wattage halogen tubes in their homes. It's estimated between 30 and 40 million free-standing torchiere lamps are in use today. These floor lamps throw great amounts of light onto the ceiling, using either a 300- or a 500-watt halogen tube.
Unfortunately, these cheap and convenient halogen tubes waste energy by creating four times more heat than the average incandescent bulb. A 500-watt halogen reaches temperatures of over 1,200 degrees - creating a serious fire hazard. Curtains and other combustible materials can easily ignite if they get too close to the lamp.

I was once allowed to use the garage at home to do a quick engine swap over the weekend.
3 Months later the car was still there engineless 
An oil change is about as far as im allowed to go in the garage now
