The weather this morning finally convinced me to make some proper space in the garage and create more "workshop space"....so bikes now hung on the wall, bench attached to the wall, strip light over, everyday tools all mounted on the wall for easy access....well chuffed!

Pictures are bit crappy but you'll get the idea!

Nice. Although your tyre logos and valve stems were not correctly aligned to the floor.

In a similar but opposite day I have been attempting to pour the contents of a 15sqm garage into a space about half the size pending its demolition to make for a glorious new wooden man cave. Less than a month to go : over excited manchild smiley :

Very tidy, i give it a week.

Trail Rat- re water under the garage door.
i had the same problem, in the end i mixed up a sloppy sand/cement mortar. Towelled in a line about 20mm high where the door closes and shut the door.
Problem gone.

Blimey Merak, that was well spotted - I bought that at one of the very early Revolution meetings when Dolan used to have a stall there!

Every time I sort out my cellar/mancave (6 bikes hung up, work bench, tools, tons of other outdoor stuff p!us a lot of crap) I promise myself it will stay that way no matter what. Then about 2 days later it looks like it has been burgled but nothing taken. I'm currently putting it down to the fact that I spend more time riding my bikes than polishing them, which is a good thing.

But one of my resolutions this year is to keep more like the OP's. Good work there OP.

Plenty of time to brush up on the photography skills then...

Seriously though, nice setup.
