Garage & garden build

[pmanson]

Garage door has been ordered tonight along with the side door.

Gone for an insulated and automated hormann 10ft x 7ft sectional door and a white Hormann side door.

Garage floor & shed base went down yesterday and are trying well (Despite Bedfordshire being hit by a big thunderstorm over night):





Monday's job is sorting out the neighbours fence (i've said i'll replace it as our dog can jump it) and the non Tuesday the walls for the garage will start going up

[pmanson]

We have walls!

Works continues:





Almost time for the lintel (need 1 more course from memory) and the final view courses to get us to the 2.5m roof height.

Roof trusses should be delivered on Wed and the fence panels are coming on Monday:



Also need a couple more gravel boards! (we're replacing the neighbours tired old fence at the same time).

[pmanson]

A little update:





Should have plenty of room!


Roof ready for tiling:



Rear patio area:



Just waiting for a couple more concrete gravel boards to arrive and I can complete the fence at the rear of the garden.





As of Sunday:
Roof almost finished:

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

[pmanson]

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!

Patio finished bar a couple of slabs:
