Default Garage-workshop

Hello all,
I've recently moved into a new house. The highly skilled previous owner had converted the single garage into a workshop (He did consultant work for Ducati Race team!!)

Unfortunately I am a numpty and would just like to use it as a garage.

1) What are the negatives of renting it out as is...access is in back garden..liability insurance..etc

2) Do you think its worth posting on Ebay to get someone who wants to do this to their own garage....its all very well made/ they've got it all ready to re assemble their end?!
But they'll have to strip it out.

I don't really want to bin his good work.

Paul

Default it's already connected

Yep...there is a built in stereo with speakers in that suspended ceiling...
aerial point for lcd tv on the opposite wall ...full RCB power supply.

You can see he routed a compressor hose from inside the end full height cabinets.

If anyone knows their bikes...he had a Senna Ducati ..he left the picture on the wall.

Default Positive feedback

Hi,
Great feedback and yes I'm sure he spent an awful lot of time out in it.

Anyone got any thoughts on the best way to go forward?

I really don't want to strip all the storage out and dump it.

Paul

Could you not leave it in there and still use it as a garage? A couple of members on here let people use the garage and have public liability insurance, I think it may change if you charge for its use, best to try a few insurance companies on the phone and explain the situation
