New Garage Build

[_Leg_]

We have power, we have light, we have decking and we nearly have a roof on the decking.

[J-P]

Awesome -looks really lovely. Good luck!

[LukeST]

Looks great mate!

[Pixel-Snapper]

Bob on that.

Fantastic build this and can only echo all the other positive comments. There can't be many of us that don't dream of such a great bit of automotive real estate!

Is that a little custom built log store behind the covered decking?

[_Leg_]

It may have been. I never used it for that as I have a log shed round in the back yard where my bike shed and general shed are. It's being rebuilt into a Bbq with a chimney now.

Much progress made but no pics till the weekend.

I think we have a 'posh one' here. But fantastic accomplishment all the same. Imo.

Any updates? - need my garage fix!

Random thought.

If I understand things correctly, the new driveway runs behind the exising garage?

Is it worth getting a roller door fitted to the rear of one of the existing garage bays so you can swap cars around between the two, without having to go out into the main road and back in again?

Crikey no. Massive amount of work for no gain mate. The "Main road" is a lane through the hamlet (there are less than 20 houses here) that barely gets any traffic and adding the door at the back would only give access from one bay. I'll never have the need to swap a car around anyway. My usual daily drivers will be up at the house and I'm leaving a bay spare so when I pick one of the other cars to use for a few days I can use it in and out of there, then when I'm done clean it and put it back int he new one.

Looks proper!

What ductless air/heater system is that? Looking for one myself and the wifi control sounds appealing!

[AstonZagato]

I'd recommend at least one lighting circuit on PIR. That way, you can walk in and not have to fumble for light switches. Also, when you drive off at night, you don't need to get out the car tot urn out the lights.

All the outside lights are (both garages, garden and decking). Plus lamps in both garages on remote control so when I'm reversing in at night, click and they come on.

I think I'd rather live in your garage than my flat

Anyone spot the main thing they did today?

[SydneyBridge]

Cladding (is that the right word?.) Looks lovely

Oak edge board - glad it's up - been bothering me - can't wait to see the final pics with the fleet inside on the ramps - keep going !

[georgefreeman]

When is the open day?;)

[_Leg_]

Dunno. I need a finish date and the main gate might hold things up.

Im away in July too.
