Stuff

Thankfully my Halfords one is broken in now and is fine. Fits the bill for what I need.

Thanks @mik, I've ordered the Larbranke double unit - for the price, nothing seems to come close and they should have more than enough room for all my stuff.

B&Q one does look good too. I see that Larbanke seller is offering the same 5&7 drawer combo I have for £280 which would work out the same width as the B&Q one (and there are (fiddly) links to join them together. B&Q job is a lot deeper though so ultimately it’ll swallow more.

Really depends what you are planning to put in it. I had no use for a cupboard, but I did end up with a couple of long files / levers / drill bits that don’t fit in mine.

Cabinets have arrived really quickly and unscathed other than the plasticky top surface being marked, but I'm not bothered about that as it's going to have wear and tear as soon as I start using them. Good quality for the price, I don't think you'd get better value.

Floor is getting poured on the store on Monday so hopefully get them in next week. Just need to work out what to put on the walls, if anything to store other stuff.

Ooooooooh shiny!

Seeing as I was doing some work just now I remembered to take a photo of my messy pile

One really useful think I picked up is to have a small mobile cart with just the most common items you use as well as specific tools and bits for the job you’re doing. Saves doing 100 tiny trips back and forth

Generally have consumables on top, tools in the drawer, and parts to be replaced on the bottom.
