Do you mean that you are replacing the dining room with a garage?

My good lady allowed me to build a double garage in the space outside the house...(we already have one attached to the house)we had the walls plastered and whilst I was on the pop at Silverstone classic last year with my besso mate she spent the weekend painting the walls white .

..then she spotted a load of wall and base units units and drawers with aluminium fronts in IKEA that she thought would be ideal in ikea .

..secured them for me..and help me fit em!

We are lucky blokes biggrin

Excellent work my friends biggrin

Managed to persuade SWMBO that we really needed a house extension - selling point to her was to double the size of the kitchen and create a "living" kitchen / dining / entertaining area. Critical success factor for me was to create double / triple (sadly tandem due to space restrictions) garage come workshop. Extension nearly completed (oh for being able to live in a house without dust..... it's a building site).....

However, due to said width restrictions might just be able to drive the Cerb in, but sure as hell couldn't open the door!!! Ah well - garage become motorbike den, Cerb gets rented garage all of it's own just round the corner, tucked up inside it's cover and plugged into the optimate!

Only you know how she'd react to the alternative stepladder (and pole?) combination! Factor in the cheap wine and who knows? wink
