that is simply amazing 
you going to keep the floor as concrete or paint it? white walls and a nice grey floor is a good look and keeps the dust away.

Cement render starting to go on the walls, back wall done and between first pillar also done.
Hopefully get few more done soon, give week or so to dry and maybe even splash some paint on over Easter (if I get carried away)

Been a bit quiet of late, other than a bit of painting.
Back to it this week, got the neighbours external wall scratch coated, that took some doing being 7.5m in length.
Got the copping stones above the door, makes it look more finished.
Done the slope into the garage to meet the floor so once that's set can start parking the cars in again.
Also to try keep the dust down I've added a coat of PVA to the concrete floor, that's drying at the moment will get another on tonight or tomorrow.

Now ready for trunking to go on and start running electric cable for lights and sockets.

Fantastic that, you should be so proud of it. I have to say that in the building and electrical game I haven't seen much better.

Small update... SWA cable ran in trunking up the wall.
Kitchen units arrived, got them made up so can sort height for dado trunking once all levelled out.
Left a 1m gap between the centre for a small work bench or to store a tool box in the future as will still have workshop for all messy jobs.
Hopefully get trunking on this weekend then get cable ran for sparky to wire up.

Trunking all fixed to wall last night...
First fix done on all the sockets, (still need to decide on where to put lights) and spent tonight cutting all the facias tonight...
All cables ran back to fuse board location, now just waiting on sparky to wire it up next week, while I sort lights.

Cheers Graham, just needs your Imola M3 or an Imola Z4 Coupe to live in there.
Small update... Bit of frame work up to suspend my lights from, 9 lights will be going up in total, first 3 up and wired in so can finally get rid of extension reel and site light.
Excuse mess and wires, all still to clip to frame out of sight even tho ceiling will be boarded over time.
Light above the garage door took bit more working out, nice and snug for the door rolling up
Fuse board connected up, overkill put was as cheap as a smaller board whilst on offer so just lots of spare breakers.
Trunking to go back on, hiding SWA etc.
Finally had a clear up, Henry spent a good while sucking all the dust up so I could put a 1st coat of floor paint down, will do other side then shift everything out for a second coat over whole floor when next off work.

Is that the standard 20l floor paint off ebay? Any good?
I'm trying to decide whether to go for that or the proper epoxy stuff, leaning towards the paint though because of the massive price difference.

Yeah John it's eBay floor paint, had it about 3yrs was going to do original garage when moved in.
Few folk have used it and seems to hold up ok. Epoxy is a lot better but talking at least 10x price.
Can't really give verdict other than applying it seems to have gone ok.

Think I'll just go for that, should be enough in that tin to do 3 coats in my garage at least I'd think.
