 Thankyou! I have done some work in it today allready Hahaha Its so much better to use now everthing is easy to access and theres loads of space which creates a better feel to the place. The guys love the improvements too. And maybe if i can get a power supply to the small refrigerator (Wich needs a clean Hahaha) behind the chair (Bottom left of pic) i can have cold coke, beer and bike related energy sachet drinks. Maybe Hahaha Smile

Do you like the orange and white MRP race tape that runs along the front edge of the worktop?

 Yes, the MRP tape is looking super smooth!

I love your tool rack, I too need to organize my rack too.
I have a place for everything but not a clean as you.

We just bought a new fridge so the old one is now in my shop, ahhahaha
Its definitely a good idea.
So, as of now you have now power in the room?
You have an overhead light, is there a way to outlet power from there?

 Theres a power socket (behind the bikes in the corner), but its badly broken so i will have to replace it to make it safe for use. Then i will buy an extenion cable to run along the floor behind the workbench to my fridge (because the fridge cable is no where near long enough to reach socket on its own).
The light was broken too! There was a really crappy, dirty + cheap glass/plasic combination small chandelier that looked discusting and properly tacky. I fitted a new simple white light fixture with energy saving bulb, so it looks much much better now!

 Thankyou!

Im a volunteer mechainic at local DH races for a Richard who competes in two series. (He hasent for a while because hes working and in univercity at the moment and has no free time Frown )
Being a mechanic involves knowing the track inside out from a tech point of veiw so you can set up the bike for it. Whilst you trek around you meet loads of people and i made freinds will one of the track marshels who had a roll of new MRP tape, so i was cheeky and asked for it as a joke (expecting him to say no) and he said YES! Smile
