5.5m x 5.4m garage. Too small?

Always a satisfying milestone to get the slab done I found the apparent size of the space will keep changing at each stage of construction!

Can't tell from the photo, but did you have the floor power-floated?

Looking really good now the slab is in place, will be following for further updates as it start to go up.

No. I asked and the builders told me that they used a metal bar, then a large plastic pipe was pulled across.

It's witchcraft as far as I'm concerned!

Thanks, will be watching progress with interest.

Brickwork is coming along. Bricklayer should be finished by Wednesday, weather permitting.

I'm unable to upload a photo due to the rubbish PH picture uploader and a "522 error"

[Blib]

Thumbsnap is fixed.

Brickwork completed.

Weather can't be helping. Just don't stop raining.

So are you having a central pillar between the door openings? What will that be made of?

[Blib]

I think so. It is a steel stanchion. It's not on site yet. So, I'm not sure how big it is.

It's you. Plus, I used 'panorama' to get it all in shot. So, the perspective's warped.

But, mostly, it's you.

Actually he is right, the floor is sagging in the picture. I presume its actually ok though.

The floor is completely level. The pan in panoramic mode gives a false perspective.

I would go out and take a 'regular' shot. However, it's bucketting down with rain so you'll just have to take my word for it.

OP .... I’m sure your doing this .... but just in case .... get them to cut the concrete back at least the thickness of the doors so they can lay decorative bricks.... looks a lot better than a concrete edge .
Something like this.
No idea why the bloody photo is sideways 🤨

I'll check what the finish will be. Thank you.

I posted pictures of my 5.2m garage and said that I thought it was extremely tight for two cars.

Since then it's been tidied up a bit, the bins have been moved outside and some ladders are hanging on the wall out of the way. I've also put up a couple of reflectors to make it easier to reverse the Astra in close to the wall. The garage is much more useable now, but if I had the choice I'd still want it a bit bigger.
