I need me some of that... "Storage".

After a bit of DIY this morning I laced and built the front wheel for my bike. Nearly there now, everything is ordered and on it's way, so just waiting for the last bits.

Can't wait to go out for a pootle now! :D

Looking 8-)

Is your bike hanging from the ceiling?! I have a bike propped by the dining table that I need to find a permanent place to keep and did think of sticking it to the ceiling of the garage :lol:

Yeah I've taken the ceiling down in the rooms I'm modifying and so have just screwed in 3 screws right next to each other and wrapped them in bubble-wrap and electrical tap just to hang it from the rim. Certainly not a permanent solution though as it's right in the way of where I've just created a new hallway :lol:

Are you able to put in two large hooks in the garage above the car? You could then hang it inverted by both rims.

I could maybe put hooks in but my only worry is that my ceiling is plaster board (I think :? ) so I'm kind of worried about how much weight it can support. It'll be just my luck that I get the Prelude sorted then the drokking bike would drop through the sunroof :lol:

:lol: Yeah you'd definitely need to find a joist to screw into. I wouldn't be confident hanging anything other than just the hook in just plasterboard!

Well today me and my business partner have just agreed on a deal to take over another valeting company in the next town to us called See it gleam. The owner has lost the love for the place and is now working elsewhere to pay his staff. We will be changing it to our name of Viper valets and have already been talking to a few of the used car dealers we used to valet for in clevedon to build it back up. Gonna be a hectic few months
