  • I did up my garage by first lining the walls with 18mm construction ply (on 2x1s) and the (rough concrete) floor with cheap 4mm ply and speed nails. Ten years and about four or five major redesigns later, I feel it was well worth it for the convenience of being able to hang whatever wherever, whenever, quickly. And the floor was a fast fix, allowing me to easily roll various heavy things around. It’s also quite bright (bare block had the place looking like a dirty, dingy dungeon). The 2x1s allowed for easily rewiring and adding plenty of new sockets, very tidy.









  • Yeah, that’s the whole being confident in your own skin thing. Tricky. Why not try clean, neat casual clothing first, like jeans/slacks, nice shirt, good shoes and put on a nice ‘internal’ suit first, good manner, curtesy/politeness, easy demeanor, well groomed, etc. that reflects what you want to be, or the reaction/response you seek from others. For those not terribly fond of the limelight/attention, any forced affectation will be pretty hard to carry. Sometimes it’s just easier to blend in, depending on town, city, country. Sorry, got lost pondering your predicament. Hmm, tricky. Good luck.
