Also, not sure what surface you are putting on it but that is going to take a bit of drying or some form of moisture seal!

The missus would definitely have gone nuts if I'd done that

The 2 cars at the front will be the regular drivers, while at the back, more of a restoration project hopefully

Yup, they've put the wall in the wrong place smile Astroturf, drive the cars over it, paint the garage doors to look like wall - the missus need never know.

Looking good Mark.

I have a problem with roof trusses height re fitting lifts for double parking.

I will have to do some very careful and precise measuring before taking the plunge for the stacking parking that I want.

Solution is simple from SWMBO ..... sell a car ...... but not the Tuscan evil

Catch up soon

Good advice, slight problem however. garage is existing, oh and is part of a Grade II listed building.

I was hoping to fit 2x lifts to park a car under the elevated one.
