5.5m x 5.4m garage. Too small?

[Blib]

Thank you for that comprehensive post. I really appreciate it.



As it's just for storing cars I think I'll spray the walls to start with and take it from there.

Hi.

I'm pleased that I've gone for 6.5 x 6.0.

Sadly, due to a wayward landscaper, the hard standing to the garage is not complete. So, I've not had the chance to park anything in there.

It's only then that I can decide definitively whether the extra space is worthwhile.

[Blib]

Finally got around to measuring the internal dimensions of the garage. It's 6.05m wide x 5.80m deep.

[Blib]

Contractor's vehicle gives an idea of scale. I'm so pleased that I did not compromise with the size of the garage in the end.

Had a car in it yet?

Nope. I'll stick the Panda in there tomorrow.

[Blib]

First car into the unfinished garage. A Panda Cross.

Plenty of space.

So when are the doors going on?

Hopefully, second week in June.

Are you going to paint the interior? It would make a huge difference.

I'm going to board it out and paint. The Ecotile flooring arrived this morning. It's a mix of dark grey and red tiles which will be laid out in a checkerboard style.

I think it's meant to go on a bit thinner than that as a first coat....

Would you mind sharing the cost of the Ecotile flooring, Blib?

We're a couple of months away from our own garage going up, and frankly there's a bewildering array of flooring options

PM is fine if you would prefer!

£890 for 36 square metres, including "free" ramps and £50 delivery.

They also quoted £300 to lay them.

Are these the klikflor tiles?

I got them from these people.

Anti woodpigeon device. Patent pending.

[Blib]

Internal security camera.

The next step is to get one. Any suggestions?

Does not need wifi as we have a cable to the house. Motion triggered, good in low light conditions. Not bothered how it stores an incident.

Something reliable and straightforward to set up.

Thanks.

[Blib]

We will fit doors. Hopefully, during the second week in June.

[Blib]

Boarded and painted. Stuff on the right is slightly larger. It's fire suppressing, as that's facing towards the boundary fence

(Garage is also beginning to fill up with crap).

[Blib]

I decided to seal the bare concrete floor to keep dust levels down. Tiles will be laid tomorrow.

On Thursday the electrician will wire up the lights, sockets and also a charger for our electric Fiat 500. I'm going a bit industrial, running the wires through surface mounted conduits.

I should hear when the doors are to be fitted by the end of this week too.

The project is entering the finishing straight.

[Blib]

This stuff....

Penetrating Polyurethane (PU) Concrete Dustproofer / Floor Primer & Sealer.

The conduit is the cheap plastic stuff. With metal 3 pin boxes.

[Blib]

Floor laid. Well, most of it. I need to buy another 6 tiles to complete as I didn't quite account for all of the cut-offs.

Charger for the classic Fiat 500 fitted.
