now i'm staying put i'm going to F1 style out my garage, walls floor, ceiling doors and tool storage upgrades ahoy

then i'll turn my attention to the many household jobs

My double garage is slowly, but surely becoming my gym, to allow me to avoid the great unwashed, potential C-19 carriers at my usual training establishment. Now that we are a 2 car family again, even though the missus is still banned until January, the cars don't actually fit in the garage with enough room to get in/out of them so I've commandeered the space for my needs meaning what was the gym above the garage can be turned into a home office now that we are both WFH far more than in the past.
Bar a workshop area, there won't be anything cycling specific in my home gym, it'll be for "pumping iron" only. The idea of riding a bike, but not actually going anywhere doesn't do it for me and working outside year round for the past 35 years has made me impervious to the typical British weather.

Bit of a cave reorg today and it’s already a much more usable space time to built a proper worktop and paint everything white

So, i've bought some foil backed, bubble wrap stuff to insulate the new man-cave. Then planning on lining it with 8mm tongue and groove cladding.

Is the bike there just for the photo?
Just thinking it might be better to try and put it under the window or at the back so it's not on display to prying eyes in case anyone gets any ideas.
