  Thanks chaps. The decathlon ones look pretty nasty.

  Any love for DHB?

  What’s the best value MTB shoe for spd cleats?
  My Sidi Dominators (44) are dead and I’m dead broke, similar last shape would be great.
  I use eggbeaters (bite me).

  Most used tool laying wood flooring will be a chop saw,
  a track saw and a good jigsaw are also pretty useful/indispensable (depending on your level of frustration at using the wrong tool for the job)
  I’ve never felt the need for a table saw.

  If you’re taking the skirting off (I recommend) to hide the edges then you could do the whole job with a jig saw and a hard-point.
  cutting the mouldings not the flooring (multi tool or hard-point and a scrap of flooring as a spacer and some skill) will give you a much cleaner result going around doors etc.

  Any gotchas to consider?

  Don’t get a roof mounted bike rack.

  If the ‘shelf’ is the width and length of the garage - you’ll lose/forget/be unable to retrieve items up there. Maybe 3 sections of shelf - or trap doors?

  Keep the cost and thickness of the joists/frames for the shelves down by making your own flitch beams using thin steel plate and CLS or ply. Unless the garages are really tall you’ll be grateful of the extra inch or two (😶)
