New carpet

[Brian4]

The only prob with carpet is that if you put the car away wet the carpet stays wet for ages. Used some of the interlocking tiles from Halfords where I stand in my workshop and a I have a few few scatter ones when i need to go underneath out on the drive.

One end of workshop.

The carpet is great for concrete in the garage, but if you haven't any, the best is a sheet of an inch of extruded styrofoam! Not only keeps a very pleasant warm, but it protects your knees perfectly, being thick and soft.

Better by far Dan it actually makes you feel warm.

That's why I put the foam tiles on the floor as I seem to spend more time in there now and my poor feet were getting cold

They were 2 packs of 8 tiles for £20 approx 8' x 4' per pack

Was that directed at T-Tony? a bit personal I think


I use the interlocking tiles too, but permanently down either side of the car and front and rear. With a few to place underneath if I need too

I got some sheets from a builder via a dodgy commercial tyre fitter

Freebies are always the best value

No , not at Tony!
At myself because after becoming an "young motorcycle enthusiast" , I want to protect my knees as long as possible!

 

[Chrisr1949]

It's thick cardboard for me, flattened TV boxes, often double thickness. I use 2 layers and i have to work outside, no related aches and pains yet and I'm 69

 

[t-tony]

I was told about the dangers of working cold surfaces and how it can affect you in later life when I was an apprentice. It was very good advice and I pass it on to others.

Tony.

 

[Chrisr1949]

Yeah, totally agree Tony, I've never worked directly on the ground and that's why I've got to 69 with no I'll effects

 

[t-tony]

This is what I have just been using. It is slightly brittle on the edges but as long as you're careful it's great.

[Jjim]

I don't have room for carpet in here! Or even room for the car

 

[t-tony]

That's a tight fit mate.

I like how you designed your house back door to line up with your Zed's drivers door Jim. Now that's well thought out

The only reason I'm living there

God, I can't wait to get a bigger house with a decent garage! My Silver Z3 is in storage in my Mum's garage in Plymouth
Well at least I have a toy to drive around Devon and Cornwall in when I go to visit!

I can testify to that. When I was there recently the garage was that full you had to step outside to change your mind!

 

[t-tony]

Well, if it's a big garage you want . . . . . . . . .
