Hello, I'll give a little bit of background first.. We have an attached single garage to the side of our house. Originally it was not accessible from the house, with just an up-and-over door to the front and a rear door/window to the rear. The previous owners converted the garage in a slightly...

Hi, I have to move out of my workshop and want to store tools in a lock up garage. I am thinking of constructing a large box inside the garage as the easiest way to protect the contents from damp. My question is how far do I need to go? I was going to use Cellotex but it is very...
