I had thought about this as well. It would have to be out the back as the front of the house is right up on the foot path. Though I could run an internal line from the laundry to the front and hose down on the footpath. Neighbours are going to love me! The house is a terrace/villa on a strata, so I am not sure how the approval process for a plumbed in shower in the courtyard would go. But a free standing not permanent shower would be easy enough. I was also thinking of doing an unnecessarily fancy outdoor bath for the courtyard.
@johnny your aerosol collection needs some work.

Nothing better than taking turns churning butter in the bedroom.

Spread it on the sheets and make a bed time sandwich...

Now you're talking! I could have that old Bon Jovi tune about being a cowboy biker blasting, in the tub soaking, pissed on cheap shitty Jack Daniels, and just pour the bath water out on the street when I'm done!

It would most likely be a job undertaken by professionals. I've done a bathroom renovation before but not for a long time.

The biggest issue is the waste in a slab construction and getting it under the concrete or building the base up near an external wall and poking it out through the wall if the other wastes head this way.
All needs to be done properly as alot of failures in showers are from dodgy on no waterproofing.

Good advice there. I can't recall the number of power points on offer, so will make inspecting this a priority when I get a chance, though a few well placed power boards may end up being my solution. I always feel the need for good lighting as well. I like a bright work space.
I'm a hook lover too. Hooks for bags, hooks for helmets, hooks for coats...I had a lot jammed into the last place. I'm giving some thought to a vertical rack, perhaps a little like yours, with the storage down each side and space for my helmet and pad collection.
Where did the rubber mat come from? What sort of damage should I expect? Does it have raised edges for catching your accidents? Does it dampen the impact of standing on concrete for lengthy periods of time?

You didn't notice my work bench did you?
Only a can of bent spoke on it when I took the photo.
As for mats, they are great and make a difference, I got a good one from Bunnings, quite cheap, strong and spongy, easy on your knees apparently, you'll like one.

Obviously staged. Must have been cleaned up for the photo.

SuperCheapAuto, cost about $30. No edges, about 6mm thick and is nice to stand on.Does it dampen the impact? Not sure really, its nice to stand on though.

I am convinced on getting a mat of some sort, most likely the hard core rubber type in case things get real funky in the garage...

Nah, not staged, it gets messy when I'm working on stuff then I clean it off ready for the next job. This is now, working on a brake caliper so have parts everywhere. If you don't keep organised when working on stuff you lose parts or get them mixed up.
My yard on the other hand is an embarrassment!

I vote that beer will win over brakes here.
