Well, progress has been made. Not in the traditional sense of working on the bike, but I have totally cleaned out the garage and I now have a lovely clean workshop to start my project. I even have a whiteboard now! The one problem I have is the light isn't exactly dazzling, so I think I need to install some fluorescents to be able to see properly (as I want to be working with the garage door shut - perhaps a project for the very near future.
