Wow! Amazing. Thanks - thanks for making me depressed about my not-as-organised-as-it-should-be garage/man cave. Mine is for bikes, 4x4 safari stuff, cycling & scuba diving. But, my tools storage needs a complete make-over. I don't want to scratch around looking for stuff.
😅 Uh oh! Sorry! 🙊
Envy! All my tools are Snap-On, and my shop is in the living room and also keep my motorcycle inside the house. I live in a Forest Reserve outside Bogota, Colombia. Thanks, I enjoy your videos very much.
Awesome.
Your garage is a dream!!! 👌🏻 It’s awesome, fair play!! 🤙🏻
Thanks dude
Superb garage view - great for inspiration, worryingly tidy though. I'll stick to my chilled chaos in certain corners!
Haha thanks dude. Yeah it's rather tidy, we both a have a very organised nature lol allthough there are definitely "man" draws with me being just as responsible for that in the kitchen draw lol
Wow so organised so clean loads of money have gone into this superb lovely garage that's heaven o well done. I love it.👌👌👍🏻🏍🏍🏍
Thank you so much 😊 ❤️
I thought I was going to see another garage decorating tour but no, you built the garage from the ground up! Damn girl, mad props! Subscribed.
aw thanks dude, so appreciate the sub!
Dream garage, throw a sleeping mat in there and it'd be my dream home too
Haha that's funny. You'd need a thick roll mat in the chequer mats hehe
That's so dreamy, congrats - I do like them Teng tools & cabinets, would luv me some in my workshop!
We're so pleased with them. Love how the colour pops and the draws are especially my favourite
Wow just found your re-found channel. Yet to build my dream garage and was thinking about a ramp like Delboy garage but you lift the whole bike then you have to lift it again off the table to take off wheels etc. Plus the ramp is always taking up valuable floor space. I got a Abba stand with a tie down ring in the floor and a small jack to lift the front up for a front wheel, a big blue that will put my Stratloiner in the air. sorry to waffle. Interesting you don't have one ( a ramp bike lift), nice to see you pair plan things. Nice garage.
I’ve been a mechanic for 35 years and that has to be the most organised, well thought out workshop I’ve ever seen. Well done.
aw thanks John! Sad we left the garage last month [moving house] but can't wait to build the new garage and make it even better hehe
💗💗
Love it Vanessa. So glad to discover I’m not the only person who gets excited by toolchests and tools! Your garage is fab. And impressive that you built it yourselves. Well done. I’m going to check out more of your videos. Keep up the good work. Michael
aw yey, thanks Michael. I'll look forward to seeing your comments
Hi Vanessa, this was an amazing tour of the 'Buckingham Palace' of garages, so beautifully organised and designed, and those Teng cabinets are something else! What an achievement to have built it all from scratch, pretty incredible! I can't get over the number of bikes, so you're both obviously fully competent mechanics too.
Hehe thanks John. We've moved house since and the new garage is taking some organisation. Haha work in progress
Wow ... what an amazing utilization of a modest space. Great job!
Yey, thank you! We did out best to make the best use of it.
What a great garage. Must be fantastic to work in.
Praise to you both for an amazing work.
It sure is! We love spending time in there. Thank you
I love garage videos and you have a beautiful one!! Thank you for the video, great stuff!!
Aw yey. Big thanks
That's a proper garage, well done guys, really amazing!! 👍👍
Thank you! 👍
Sweet setup clearly you're both addicts ⛽😎🤯
Yes we are haha thanks dude
Best garage!
Yey thanks dude 💖
Absolute dream garage!! Congrats!
yey thanks dude
I can understand why you spend a lot of time in the garage, its just brilliant, so well laid out. Love the colour scheme. That Parkside kit is pretty good for the money, I've had an electric tyre pump for years.
Thanks so much! Yeah it's our most used room at home! haha Got to love Lidl tools hehe, good spot! ❤️
Awesome tour!! So now you have to show us the garden and how all that is integrated with the house 😀😀😀
Oh! OK. I didn't thing of that. But I do have the answer hehe if you head to my website and go to the garage tour you can see the 3D designs I made when we were planning. This shows the back of the house thegirlonabike.com/latest-content/ 👏🏼
Brilliant tip about the checker plate matting - many thanks. Just about to do my 19ft garage, and that would have been an expensive mistake! Plain tiles it is!
Incidentally, that garage!!!!!! Bloody amazing. I can feel the strain on your bank account from here!! But well worth it! Subscribed!
haha thanks dude, glad the flooring tips helped and thank you!
I’ll now go out to the disorganized mess that is my shop, and shed a tear. 😢. What a nice, well thought out, shop ! 👍 Mine may have started out with the intent of being well organized, but 30 years later it more a state of chaos 😆.
Haha that's made me giggle. Organised mess is good too as long as you can find things hehe. Give me 30 years and we'll see how it looks 🤪
Great garage, very jealous of ur tool draws brilliant 👍
Thanks Andy
Very nice
Thanks
Impressive that you Built the Garage, the Build should be a series in itself.
haha yeah so true. I didn't have youtube back then hehe ❤️
Very clean and organized. Nice work 👍🏼
Thank you! Cheers! It's addictive keeping it clean post messing it up hehe
Thank you for telling your story. Similarly, I am waiting for surgeries 6 and 7 after a motorcycle head on with a car that was on the wrong side of the road. The rollercoaster continues for me and I’m hoping to get up to IPT soon for the 40th birthday experience that I missed because of the accident (just over 3 years ago!).
Yep, you did a proper job. Nice!!
Aw thank you
Absolutely love the garage, I have garage envy. Send me your plans of the garage and I will have it built before the lockdown is over 😂.
On a serious note, respect to you both you must be so proud of the garage. 👍
haha thanks John, mege appreciate that. It was definitely a labour of love. Took about a year from breaking ground to fully painted etc and then another 2 to really get it organised and sorted.
Hardly a Teng dealer at all then 🤫
Forgot 2 mention the Teng torque wrench is calibrated from the factory which is a big plus for critical work, I love mine!
haha could you tell we love Teng? haha
"Bob" name done and dusted ...happy to help out
🤣
Just discovered your channel so looking forward to catching up on older episodes.
I think that's probably everyone's dream garage but looks like it might cost as much as my house!
Well jel as the kids say😁
Hehe thanks lovely. Welcome in board! I can't wait to see your comments. Haha it's definitely the best room in our house!
How good is that!
As organised and clean as a F1 garage.😲😁👍
haha we try!
💗
thank you
Great video, and awesome garage 🤟
Thanks! It's our dream! 👍
Nice video, Vanessa.
If I may comment, your audio is clipping pretty badly. You need to pull the audio back 3-4 dB in post, and normalize to - 14 LUFS. Your listeners will thank you. ;)
Thank you. I have absolutely no idea how to do that? haha It's a new Rode wireless go and I have to say I was disappointed how almost tinny it is. Is that audio things possible in imovie? I do all my editing on my iphone as I don't have a laptop capable. Thanks for taking the time to give me some tips too, mega appreciate it
There's too much to explain in a UA-cam comment section. I'm following you on Facebook; I'll contact you through there and share a bit with you.
Looks like a great space, very organised!
Hehe definitely organised. I'm frequently hoovering...possibly a little ocd Haha
@@TheGirlOnABike I have 7 bikes in a single garage so am past the point of trying to organise the place lol..
haha amazing! Our house was a nightmare before we build this. We had three in the tiny conservatory and one in the dinning room haha
You did great! I wish mine was that nice
Aw thank you Richard. Glad you enjoyed. Thanks for watching
The Girl On A Bike I try to watch all of your videos ❤️
Nice garage well done! Ive liked and subscribed👍
Yey. Thanks dude 💖
That's teng tools set-up is absolutely MEGA..!! Well done... How the the workbench fixed to the cabnits underneath.?
Thank you. They're just bolted down to the top of the units and then with a wall support and onto a bracket on the tall units 👌🏼
Vanessa you need to give me your garage. Very jealous.
haha nice try! haha
dont what to say teng very good
Aw thank you. Love the Teng ❤️
Damnnnnn now thats a propper GARAGE 👍👍👍
Haha thanks dude. It was a serious labour of love but we're so happy with it
@@TheGirlOnABike if i had my way my garage would look pretty similar but the boss "Wife " keeps on dumping everything into the garage 😁😁
I like to have everything in its on place also some say OCD right i just call it organized 🤣👍
Have fun stay safe ✌
hehe that made me chuckle. I'm really lucky not to have a boss wife 🤣
It looks like bikers heaven 🤠🤠..... Really nice.... Ranga Prasad from Mysore
thanks dude
@@TheGirlOnABike Welcome.... Please explore India....
@@rangaprasad1908 once day I hope I get the chance
@@TheGirlOnABike Thanks for your valuable reply Venessa.... We are expecting Indian episodes ☺️☺️🙏🙏
That's a really nice Garage.. You have a lot of Tools. You need to put Labels on all the Drawers and Cabinets telling what tools are in each compartment. You might forget where things are when you get older.
My Sockets and Wrenches go up to 3 inches because I work on large Construction equipment and Loaders.
The Plastic Tool Box would be nice if you need to take some tools some place to fix something remotely.
I never even heard of Tang Tools before. I did a search and see they are sold in the USA also .. Designed in Sweden and made in Tiawan. Tiawan tools can be much better quality than Chinese are. Though they are expensive in the USA they are about 1/3 the cost of Snap On or Mac on a Tool Truck. I have bought Industrial Tools like Armstong and Proto for 1/3 the Price of Tool Truck Tools.
There is a yoootooob car channel Sponsored by Sonic. As near as I can Tell Sonic is Europe's answer to Snap on ..
I just found yet another Brand of Tools endorsed by Ricky Carmichael.
They sell kits specific to Metric Bikes , Harley Davidsons, or Side by sides ect. They also sell a very nice Tool Roll to carry on your Adventure bike.
I did not see a wheel balancing and Spoke trueing stand.
Thanks Mike. I actually amazingly know where the tools are from memory 80% of the time hehe I like the challenge learning and remembering
@@TheGirlOnABike Yes I thought about that. My Problem is when I am laying under a Truck or car and a friend is standing around watching and I need a Tool. I can tell them what drawer it is in because the Drawers have labels.
When you are working on a Motorcycle you don't have to Crawl out from under it every time get up and walk to the Tool Box.
I am working on my Yamaha and Buell at the same time. Thus I had to drag out all of my SAE tools. Buell has a fair amount of Metrics on it such as the Showa forks and shock.
I spent 2 hours the other day looking for a Cable cutter that I had put back in the totally wrong drawer.
I used to be able to remember where I last used a tool and where I laid it down last. Now that I am 62 years old memory is not as good.
My First Craftsman Master Mechanics Tool set was $2,400.00 with the Tool chest.. that's about what a bit nicer Snap Tool Box cost empty back then.
I have a set of Chinese tools .. to loan to people. It looks like tools made in Tiawan are pretty good now days.
I looked back at your video list. Wow you have been busy making videos.
That’s an awesome set up, looks bigger inside than the footage outside 🤔
thank you! I think we did well making the most of the space! 😃
Hi Vanessa, I've watched this video several times to get inspiration for my own garage workshop (which will be constructed this summer). Yours seems just so perfect :). One question I have: is your garage insulated and/or heated? If not, are you having any problems with moisture/rust?
oh cool! That's exciting. So we're building a new dream garage soon as we're moving house and a big learning is the rubber matting. Don't do it 'IF' you can afford to go two part resin. They worked yes but the moisture under the mats when we lifted them to move out was MENTAL!! New garage will have a resin floor using these guys www.concreteflooringsolutions.co.uk Not cheap but it's our forever home so we see it as an investment. We didn't have any insulation or heating either but with a good tiled roof we didn't have any moisture issues thankfully [other than washing the floor and that going under the mats and us not realising...doh]. We thought about getting a big gas heater but the problem is burning gas gives of water which has to land somewhere...so I just got a heated jacket and lots of layers lol. The dream would be heated and insulate but our budget limits us.
@@TheGirlOnABike I'm looking forward to your videos about the new garage :). Thanks for your tip about the flooring; I was actually thinking about just keeping the bare concrete for now, but maybe its better to have an epoxy floor installed right away as it will be a lot of work to have it done afterwards.
Trouble is I’d get a few tools out to do a job, then a few more, then they’d get put somewhere else and before long I’d end up with empty drawers and all my tools in other drawers or over the floor - so crap at organisation!
hehe I know what you mean! haha
Wow when you said 'We built it' I thought you'd got the local builder in ! Wasn't exactly expecting to see you building it ! Not sure where to start ! You look better equipped than major dealer workshops I've been in. It would be a shame to use your tools because they are all so clean, Although I'm a bit OCD, and please don't divulge your address as the local low life around me (Don't worry Newcastle) would probably break in, possibly tie us up and clear the place out if they knew I had that amount of gear. Great work though. I'm envious
haha thanks dude. We actually packed up and left this garage yesterday! Now between houses while we buy a new place. It was sad to leave but we will have a new garage so it's exciting times! That garage really was an incredible space for us
As a totally OCD person as far as my garage / workshop and office is concerned, that was way better than porn 😂😂
😂
Taking a screenshot to show SO what l mean by a fitted kitchen 😂
Haha
What an amazing space, ours is but look t, but if you want to come over and sort it out that would be great. 😘
Haha it would take many bacon sandwiches and good coffee. Oh and a cider for 6pm 😛
@@TheGirlOnABike no worries, please send dates of your availability, we could even cook lamb on the Kadia for you and toast mushrooms, whilst enjoying our Sloe gin. 😘
Stephen Thorburn I'm completely free...but in prison at home 🤷♀️🤣🤣
@@TheGirlOnABike no worries, the garage is going nowhere, it can wait until you get parole 🤭👮♀️🙆♂️
Really good video. So jealous of the garage. Little tip. It sounds like your audio is clipping. A little to loud maybe going red in your editing software. Really good video part from that
Thanks dude. It's a new rode wireless go and I was a bit disappointed by the sound. Is it possible to change the audio thing in imovie? I do all my editing on my iphone as I don't have a laptop capable. Thanks for taking the time to give me some tips dude, mega appreciate it
The Girl On A Bike i’m not sure about imovie but i would have thought so. I use final cut to edit my videos but It’s such a learning curve still feel new to it all.
So I recorded another one earlier and I'm editing now, seems like I managed to crack it. Stay tuned, I'd love your opinion
Use a Rode mic or similar on your iPhone or GoPro for better sound quality.
I do now! I have a Rode but this was one of my first video hehe thanks for the tips dude
Cracking garage!(Shame about the Harleys!🥴😂👍)
Haha thanks Mark
Where are the wall units from
The black units are by NewAge and we got them from costco. The red are by Teng Tools
Wish join you one day dear van
❤️❤️❤️
Wish my garage was as neat.....
Lovely :) one very lucky men have women into bikes :)
Aw thank you, I'm lucky to have him too
Awesome setup, but there is one very important piece of equipment missing. Also, what the flyingfox is that axe for?
haha is that the beer fridge? We decided our house was so small the actual kitchen fridge was close enough so saved the space. The axe is vital! Alex likes to do slow cooking on the smoker so that's the cut the oak up. Yummy!
@@TheGirlOnABike the missing equipment would be motocross bikes!
I noticed that you posted on our local track FB page once, VIP. If I ever see you there and you hear someone shout diesel, you'll know who it is..😆
kitesurfuk R Haha I'm so not into mx but definitely!
@@TheGirlOnABike it's the most fun you can have on a bike.
Loving this, proper man/woman cave! how much do you think it cost you to build? (not all the kit inside, just the building?)
Thanks dude. It was around £12k but we did everything ourselves, including all drawings, engineering calculations, planning, building, etc. We had a friends who's a electrician do a final check on the electrics for peace of mind. We also went for the best materials we could on thinks like the doors and the big bifold and a proper tiled roof. So it could be done more economically if desired.

The scariest part was when 9 cubic metres of concrete arrived and we were told it's all yours...if you've ordered too much you're having it hahaha. Thankfully it was just right 😅
@@TheGirlOnABike that doesn't sound too bad for the size of it! you both did a great job! lets hope the lock down eases and we can get back down for the bike nights at the H cafe soon :)
HAHA you said DOODOO.
😘
How many square meters is the garage Vanessa?
it's 29.8 square meters
Thanks.
Totaly understand you like spending time there. Take care and stay safe.
What's the sqft area of the garage?
ummm I'm not sure in feet. 29square metres
google makes that 312 square feet ❤️
Oh. My. Effing. God.
haha
Nice garage. Do you hunt?
Thank you. Um, it's not really a thing here in the UK. When I lived in the Bahamas I spear fished lots for food but otherwise I've never really needed or been in a position where I can catch my own food
Alright nice would love to do some so spear fishing. I live here in the uk in the highlands of Scotland. We do lots of fishing and shooting for food. Me and my friends take are bikes up into the hills fishing the hill lochs and camping. You should try get into it. Fishing/shooting is big thing across the uk
J S wow sounds like a great weekend. Especially right now!
Your "miscellaneous" drawers look a lot like my "most-organized" drawers.
😎🏍💨💨💨💨💨👍🏻🇨🇦 awsome
thanks John
Aw how are you
I'm ok thanks, editing this was a good distraction today!
You need new recording equipment
Hehe yeah! It's amazing when you look back to the early videos. Hopefully you'll find my new videos much better ❤️
Your OCD is way worse than mine. Wow!
haha that's probably fair! haha
Are you going to be doing a video of the PIT tool.kit?
I had not planned one but I could!
