It's amazing the things that build up after 12 years. I thought I kept my garage pretty clean! But I was mistaken. I was surprised by the amounts of dirt and schmutz that builds up in hidden corners! As well as lizard eggs, which I was very happy to find and explains why I've only seen a few spiders and very few other insects over the years.
I will start posting pictures once the area is clean and painted. I spent yesterday and today demolishing all the old shelves and organizing all the tools and other equipment. It's only now at the end of the second day that all of the tools are put away and organized into boxes and placed in the garage loft.
Plan for this week, hose out floor and walls, repair any holes and cracks, paint and install laminate flooring. Next week I will figure out the floor plan, bring in the electrician and air conditioning guy and get the boring stuff done. Once that is done, shelves, storage and keezers for serving/fermenting and aging as well as the decorations and entertainment. 90% of the area will be taken up by mead and rum, and the rest will be an electronics and general hobby workshop.
I'm trying to get my hands on a couple of glass front coolers so I can watch the ferments/aging meads/beers/other unspeakable things in casks.
