First Time for Everything...

[Wyld Stallyn]

A first for me...

You Put her up in a Garage




All Tucked Up and Warm and Dry for the Night...


And Then...

...She Embarases you by Trashing the Room

Is yours a standard single garage??

I'm looking to buy my first house with the missus, stipulated that it must have a garage, but I'm worried my Ro is not going to fit!!

Can see it fitting in a standard single

If it's a recently built property, you've barely got a hope of fitting in there yourself, let alone getting a car in there.

When developing new estates, understandably they stand to make more money if they can squeeze in an extra house or two on a street. If they can chop half a meter out of every garage, bingo, extra house on the end.

Most people don't care about a garage for a car, just for storing 'stuff' in, so it's not a problem.

The Monaro is a fairly wide car and a lot of new build garages wouldn't fit an Aygo in so best of luck to you, I'm in a similar place whereby I'd like to have a house with a garage, but there's just nothing around this area that'd fit anything in.

There's kitchen Units in the back of this Garage (only 10" to spare lengthways) and I had to Yoga my way in and out

Should fit in a 'Standard' Early 80's Garage

But

Beware of pillars and door opening mechanisms...

Some 60's garages will be too small as they were only designed to fit Anglias and 1100s




PS It's Not My Garage so will have to get busy with the Jif later


Mine is FULL of Flight Cases and a lifetime of 'Useful Stuff' - Inherited from my Father

Some 'New Build' Garages are only 2.44m wide

My problem exactly. I can just about get in width ways, 2" short on length (story of my life!) if I get it in I have to sleep in it!

You can always push it in / out (Goldy does this)

Now, to make it 2 inches shorter

Can you do anything to the garage door to gain the extra space? Spacers? Different style of door?

Found a lovely double garage, and the 3 bed detatched wasn't too bad either! It still looked rather shallow, may have to budget for a garage extension!

My garage is in a block and the ro fits in no problem length wise, but quite snug on width.
But I fold in the n/s mirror then once in slide the seat back, makes it's easier to get out/in, oh yeah and some foam underlay on the side wall to lean the door on
Although tried to get in one day with big winter coat on, and got stuck
So good reason to limit cake intake

Given where the exterior door is, why on earth dont you go in forwards?

A - you can get out - big positive there

B - no unsightly marks on the back wall.

Or am i missing something here?

House is only 2 years old.

Car fits fine.
