File comment: From the front. So I've monoblocked from the road to the back of my house and put a 6 inch concrete base down ready for my garage.........when I say "I", I actually paid a company with experience in these things to do it. I want the car to be covered for the winter, so the garage itself starts on the 29th of this month.Monoblocked drive.jpg [ 64.95 KiB | Viewed 6620 times ] Attachment:
File comment: Where it will be. Car on concrete.jpg [ 73.92 KiB | Viewed 6620 times ] I can't wait to get a garage back, after my internal one was turned in a downstairs room for the monster in law. After I kicked her our, my daughter moved into that room, so I've had to face facts that it'll never be a garage again. ![]() ![]() |

Good luck, a good start. I'm currently building a workshop with a small engine building room, general area including spray painting and a wood work section. I have a classic mini and a 200 year old cottage to restore and this is needed to facilitate that, my wife thinks that the bedroom is a higher priority ![]() It's timber frame on a few courses of brick, fully insulated with pitched metal roof and weatherboard cladding. With TV, heating and laptop with internet (for workshop manuals and radio) once it's built I won't be leaving it ![]() |

Thanks Guys, the gates are going up tonight so I'll have a few more photos tomorrow. I can't wait to get it in the air and the bumpers off for some winter cleaning. ![]() |

How's the man cave coming on lee? ![]() Took advantage of a clear day today, gave the garage a good tidy up, decided there is too much gardening or non car stuff so ordered a bloody great shed!!!, gave the car a clean now ready for going up on stands and get a good winter clean. ![]() ![]() By the way hope you, your family, friends and colleagues were not caught up in the unlucky pub-v- helicopter incident last Friday night |

Sounds great Lee, when its built make sure you get a nice smooth screed down and a few coats of a decent floor paint before the car goes in or the racking up, makes such a difference and no dust ![]() |

Sorry for the delay, it's not been a productive time. I'm hoping to do some more this weekend, but snow is forecast. Maybe it's what I need and will keep me at home for a wee while. Still, the front and rear structure is up. Attachment: 1426735_674493212591082_737303299_n.jpg Attachment: 1455072_674493225924414_1991406647_n.jpg

Martin & Kim 6853 wrote: Bugger, better the shed than the car!!! Good point well made. I put the car between the buildings so it doesn't have a scratch. Garage is ok,a couple of screws will need drilled out and bolts put in, but all in all it's not that bad. I'm just glad I hadn't started putting the panels on. They would have buckled in the freakish weather. The only problem now is time before new year to get it built? ![]() |
