New Garage Build

[Nick Grant]

Bravo!

I'm so glad I bookmarked this. It's been a real pleasure watching your updates, a wonderful project which has given me some ideas for my own smaller build in future and something to aspire too.

[minivanman]

Absolutely brilliant!

[CY88]

Fantastic. Well done!

[AlexFR]

Absolutely fantastic. Great build and awesome car collection. Drove past your house the other day and was itching to stop and admire your car collection!!!

[smithyithy]

Thanks for all the comments. Really appreciate them, especially from fellow PHers.

Not sure it's the best though. Have you read the very lengthy "Who has the best garage on PH" thread? Some absolute beauties on there with collections that leave my cars in the shade.

Its been a stressful, very tiring process buying the land, getting planning and managing the build but worth it.

Had a nice bonus this month as my readers road trip was published in Evo after Henry Catchpole saw my posts on PH about it and then I bumped into him at the FoS on Friday. Is Henry the nicest guy in petrol land? Quite possibly. Wolverine's younger, slimmer brother? Definitely.

Stonking garage and overall build. Many thanks for posting up on here for us to see.

Finished result is a credit to you and an envy of many of us (in a good way )

Looks brilliant, good job

It says a lot that I've been more interested in the build and the fixtures and fittings than I have been with the contents of the garage itself which, on a normal day, would be a pretty big draw for most petrol heads.

Really think the end result looks fantastic - you must be thrilled with it!

_Leg_ there may be better car collections on the garage thread but I think your garage is the most complete package and is therefore the best garage on pistonheads (that I've seen certainly)

[Craikeybaby]

Actually, I'd say _Leg_ has the two best garages on PH!

Exactly what he said... I would probably never spend any time in the main house though much to the great annoyance of my other half.. or perhaps not... Congrats!

Fabulous, what a great petrol head set up!

Could I ask if you happen to know what the bricks were used in the build are at all as they are just the sort of thing I'm after for my new build garage / house project?

[_Leg_]

They are reclaim bricks from an old mill. 180 years old I'm told.

[dsl2]

Ah thank you for the prompt reply, I guessed that might be the case as they look so good.

[Ken Figenus]

Superb job!

Enjoy - your hard work skills and effort made all that possible. Superb.

Now just put some kitchen paper on the roof under the white Fiat for me (DB4/2 - may be well off)!

Ohh and if that was a flat in London it would be worth £3m!!!
