Dehumidifiers/tube heaters were new ones to me but as the bikes will be in the workshop keeping the humidity down will be of great benefit: my donor has been siting under a taup for 3 months and despite a coating of WD40 on the mechanics is looking very sorry for itself.
Any more suggestions welcome.

Lots of good suggestions.

I'd not thought of dehumidifies/tube heaters, buts it's a sensible suggestion. What did you get Steve? I've got a double garage to do the build so a lot less volume to deal with.

I painted the garage floor a couple of years ago but ideally will give it another coat before the build starts. The walls will be whitewashed soon. I'm getting a new electrical supply put in which will allow me to have > 3x lighting and 7x double sockets. I'm also planning to get a brick shed built to butt onto the garage. That will allow all non project stuff (like gardening tools and bikes) to be kept out of the way. It'll also house my compressor.
