Jul 2022 - Workshop interior
I figured I would do an update seeing as I have started work on the interior of the workshop and also the garden is looking more mature now so I thought I would put up some updated pictures.
I did a thread about having grey walls in a workshop and the conclusion was that it would be too dark, so I compromised and painting one wall anthracite and the rest white. I think it worked out well and I am glad I asked for advice.
Excuse the mess:
its already starting to feel like a nice space to work in and I'm looking forward to getting it finished and usable. I'm struggling to find time/energy to finish it off at the moment, which is a little frustrating as I am feeling quite unorganised with all my tools and stuff floating around in random plastic boxes.
The next stage (after finishing the skirting boards) is to build a workbench and storage for tools. Not sure on the best sequence for that:
1. workbench then storage.... could use the workbench to build the storage
2. storage then workbench... would be more organised with my tools which would help me build the workbench faster
😅
Updated pictures of the garden + garden room:
As you can see I have some grass now, and the plants are growing really fast making the garden look miles better than it was at the start of the summer. And I'm now a convert to growing plants in pots rather than in the ground - this is the first time I've had a garden without thousands of weeds everywhere - its quite a novelty 😅
obligatory nightime shot:
Hopefully I can share some progress on the actual workshop soon - this is a woodworking forum after all!
