Bulbs - yeah I was looking at some. Although I don't have any lights that would take them as yet.

Today's pictures....

Seating arrived from contract interiors. Custom made for the space including the table and chairs. Kitchen is in with some minor bits to do as is the water heater. Door on the loft. Tried my TT table out for size and planned out where the pool table will be allowing for cueing space. Loads of room. Slate roof started going onto the decking along with the electrics.

And now I'm off for a cider and watch TFI. Ahh it'll be like 20 years ago when there were just me, Mrs Leg, Bob the Springer (sadly now died of old age) and Fridays was TFI and then the pub. There were no calories in those days, you could eat and drink what you wanted. Dunno who invented them when I hit 30, the bds.

I disagree.

Imagine what it's going to be like with cars in there as well

Especially considering some of the cars in Legs collection.

Page 19 and scroll down gents. 6 in there already.

The main building is done now except the glass wall between the games room and garage, pool table, arcade machine, one more picture to put up, TVs up, oak shelves for SKY/PS4, internal door handles and lock on the bathroom door, SONOS and some minor plumbing and trim on the kitchenette. One CCTV camera to go on the gable end along with the bell housing.

Away from the main building the main gate is yet to be made (We've been debating the design). It's 13.5 feet now as I had them move one of the brick posts another 18 inches to ensure I could get any car in easily. Plus the drive and lane need gravelling, a bit more work on the decking roof, the BBQ, electrics on the decking and electrics on the shed plus some door fittings on the shed.

Very, nearly, there.

Sadly it happens, are you happy with the rest of the build?, from what we have seen the builders appear to have been top lads

Nearly done. Just the main gate, glass wall, pool table and arcade machine left to arrive now. Father in Law's 70th birthday at mine today, hence the bunting etc.

Main reason I posted the thread in the first place is because Ive found other people's build threads an inspiration and they've given me ideas so if anyone has any questions about anything, including suppliers, please post in this thread so everyone can share the information. I'll post some final pics when everything is finished.

Cheers all.

In no particular order...

Shed



Decking



Decking, BBQ, electric heater above, PIRs for lights on both ends.



Ze Shed again and main garages connected to the house



New garage.






Drive round the back of the garage for me 4x4 and trailer. Lad's Adam tucked up for the party.



Main garage again

















Main garage attached to the house and my den above
