    That is amazing! I would honestly die for somewhere like that. I can only dream that one day i will have a man cave like yours.

    Love it! Well done. :D

    just one point, where do all your tools go? and what about a workbench?

    or is your car so reliable you don't need them?

    There was a similar area next door - again just blockwork and no windows this time so natural light not so good. I have again painted it all white and put 8x 5ft flouro strip lights up, so now very well lit even at night! I keep all the tools in there, and all the other stuff can be put away in the wall cupboards or in the rolling cabinets that double up as workbench space. I can't find a before picture at the moment, but this is what it looks like now:





    I haven't quite finished the ceiling yet - I'm filling in the gaps between the joists with insulation and then covering the whole lot with exterior-grade plywood and then painting that white so it should be even brighter in there once that is done and the strip lights have more to reflect off.

    Target was to get this finished by Christmas, but family car troubles and a few other things derailed me. Still I have finally got it all done not too far in to 2012. The final section of the barn started off like this:





    And after a lot of blood sweat and tears (and a trip to A&E have my ear stitched back on after I put a crowbar through it ) it now looks like this:







    Now that's finished I can crack on with working on the car!
