Beige carpets in the garage, how very posh...
I thought you would have converted stables to house your array of motor vehicles

Perhaps you could do a mower restoration thread too whilst you are at it!

Yes, we also have a 'maid's bedroom' but, if I'm not allowed a maid, then SWMBO can't have a gardener!

C'mon - more photos of junk filled garages - there's still a bronze medal to play for.

Mine is unfortunately low on junk... which on the good side means that if I can't find it in 5 minutes, I probably threw it out

Having studied all the photos carefully I have to say I can't see any junk, just put -asides, stored raw materials, re-usables and vital parts!

Well there's 3 or 4 sets of wheels and tyres, complete rear axle, gearbox, complete front axle, radiator, various brake rods, and other car parts for the Rover. All the garden equipment and garden furniture

So you're not that far off the mark


Edit
Cement mixer, vibrating plate, kango hammer...
This could be a long list

That's not too bad Connor, you have space to step without trampling over everything
