Doc Posted April 21, 2016 Author Share Posted April 21, 2016 Finished painting the ceiling and windows today. The walls are getting a coat of very light grey to contrast with the new dark grey rubber flooring. Also bought myself a Evolution Sliding mitre saw and a Evolution table saw so I can build the work benches. Tweedledee 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Posted April 26, 2016 Author Share Posted April 26, 2016 No only the first coat. So far the ceiling has two coats of white. The walls one coat of white plus PVA, then a white second coat, then two coats of grey. I'll post some pictures tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Posted April 28, 2016 Author Share Posted April 28, 2016 Pretty much done for now. Fitted plugs, red light, and a general touch up of paint. All I have to do now is lay the rubber flooring once it's ordered, but that can wait till I get back from holiday. Also some window blinds. I set up my table saw today. Looks a good bit of kit, very loud but cuts brilliantly. Better start saving for the wood to build the benches next. philjay, Tweedledee and Smithysteve 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tweedledee Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 Absolutely brilliant job Mick. Now you've got that out of the way, could you give me a quote for redecorating the house please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted April 28, 2016 Author Share Posted April 28, 2016 (edited) Thanks Pete it was a great experience I really enjoyed it. Never built a bench before but I have plans in my head for a 15 foot x 3 foot wide bench with a solid 2" thick wooden worktop. Also it's going to have 8 cupboards and 8 drawers. Wish me luck Edited April 28, 2016 by Doc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smithysteve Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 Well done Mick, your level of finish is fantastic! The 'workshop' will be 'home from home' when you have finished it. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 The finish is really great Mike I like the grey colour looks very nice good contrast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted May 26, 2016 Author Share Posted May 26, 2016 I laid the rubber flooring. It's pretty easy to do and just clicks into place and then it is cut to size and slid under the skirting boards. I placed a clock on the wall and all I have to do now is put up a couple of roller blinds. And then that is the workshop build finished. I'll start a new thread on building the work benches. To be honest it looks to good to be a workshop. I think I've gone a bit OTT on this one. Tweedledee, Smithysteve and philjay 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Posted May 27, 2016 Author Share Posted May 27, 2016 Cheers everyone for your comments. The floor does look good and It's really nice to walk on but how long it lasts for is another question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
