It's looking very very nice, sorry if you've already said but why did you site it in the middle of the garden rather than the far end where the old one was?

Mainly because the sun in the evening ends up pretty much where the old garage was.

Also it means we can access the garage from the road without the kids/dog escaping from the garden.

Rear patio starting to go down

A good bit of planning them, I see your point from the picture.

We're still progressing.

Garage roof is now. Still to complete:

  • Guttering
  • Wiring (including lighting and sockets)
  • Rendering & paint the garage
  • Finish patio
  • Install final fence post
  • Finish painting the fence (so far it's taken 36 litres of black paint to get to this stage)
  • Turf the garden!
  • Have a couple of beers!






We have some flowers!
