Well Garage looks VERY GOOD! I am asuming you didn't plan on putting both cars back in it together?  I do love how your "back door" is right next to the front (although it may not be the case anymore)  Where is the Summary for the build?...

Drum roll please!!More has happened, the back wall which is what the next door neighbour will see has been fully rendered and painted-  Believe it or not the old lady who lives next door actually came out and commented on how nice it looks now and that she has changed her mind and doesn't want me to fit a new fence along it, good news for her I suppose as that was never going to happen anyway, cheeky sod basically she has been a little of an issue, not checking the plans when they were submitted and also just being a little funny with the builders, never even spoke to me. Old people heh.I now have a red side door, which I was a little nervous about but looks great, these doors are meant to look like wood and believe it or not they really do, made of a composite and the garage side door and the main front door cost us quite an amount compared to standard ones so now I am relieved that they do actually look great. As you can also see I now have drains across the front of the garage door too!  All the side windows are also in, I feel I did a good job on the choosing of these as in the end I went for frosted glass, looking at the brochures it's hard to see in reality what you are going to get, I did good I feel  Basically that's the garage and extension complete as in water tight, we also now have the massive task of doing all the internal work. This is a picture of the old front door and the more room the extension has given us-  The new room we have acquired, looks quite big doesn't it? Well it will be split into a third and will be used as the nursery  , also a utility and the man bog (for stinky s**ts)  The final picture the money shot, this is what all the pain has been for (looks bloody small on this picture)-  More to follow, decided to fully insulate the garage and have the ceiling boarder,the lighting will be little spots you see at plush used car show rooms, I tell you what though the cost has just gone mental, if you ever have any building work etc carried out take the quote with a pinch of salt, there always seems to be a nicer piece to finish the puzzle and a few hidden surprises that happen on the way. Bit more- Old back door bricked up, this is the new turd laying spot.  The electrics are going in, fuse box relocated, it's all happening, chap looked at me gone out when I told him I wanted a tv aerial in there  Plenty of wiring for the led spot lights I decided to go with-  Basically first fix for the garage done. That aside I am loving it.

Ah, I see. I'd love to have a separate man-toilet (as would the other half I'd imagine), I'd probably spend a lot of time in there, bloody love a Leisurely. What's the plan with the inside now? Plasterboard? Boxing in the joists or leaving it all open? ________________________________________ Membership expiring soon, get in contact on our new little forum project. |

All the roof joists are going to be boxed in, the ceiling height is going to be a lot higher than the rest of the house, hence the velux windows. The rear extension is planned to be open so eventually it will all match, (this is the front part) same with the garage so it will just look nice and square, have gone for a hatch so I can have my small drug den up there should I wish. Constantly saving.

Drug den is a good shout, plus you can hide all the new shiny car parts from your wife until you have time to fit them. ________________________________________ Membership expiring soon, get in contact on our new little forum project. |

Well it's still on going, been getting home from work late to take any interior photos (bloody dark now) but its mainly all the bits that are hard to see, all the pipe work has been fitted for the four radiators that now sit in the garage, the electrics have all been put in for the spot lights and the insulation has been added to the garage roof, just waiting for that to be boarded now.Spare room (nursery) has been separated with a wall so I have the out lines of a bog, room and a utility. Also have a tap in the garage for my pressure washer. Literally just ordered £550 worth of tiles for the floor in the garage and utility (missus thinks I am off my rocker) . Me and the missus had a fall out last week and basically she never spoke to me for 7 days solid, this drawing never went down to well (it means soo much more if you could hear her whine)  Exterior of the house has all new gutters and fascias-  Last bit of render finished-  The bit I think my neighbour most liked, her fence back up  So there you have it, I will get some more pics up when I can.

Work has progressed inside the garage, the loft has been boarded out and insulated and I have a groovy loft hatch, peering through it with a torch (it's now dark) makes it look huge. Also got four larger double radiators plumbed in now and boy do they look like they are going to keep me cosy, oh yes and the cars Tilers are in tomorrow so it's moving swiftly on. Thank god.

More has happened, the ceiling got insulated and boarded, decided to go with this as its going to be warmer and will look great once done with led spot lights.  All the crap was swept out the garage and the floor was then sealed ready to lay the floor tiles the following day  The start of laying the floor tiles commenced.  On with the exterior, this is basically all done as far as building work is concerned so we started to apply the first coat of colour to our side of the build (done the neighbours bit a few weeks ago)   Well that's where we are at the moment, just the tiler to carry on tomorrow and the builders to concentrate on my window sills in the garage then on the utility and the nursery. Had a bedroom fitter come round and measure the corner of the garage as he is going to build me a sort of fitted workbench and cupboard storage combo. Electrician should be back soon to finish off the electrics, I am hoping that within a couple of weeks it will be completed, I will then need a gypo and a digger kind of person to lower the ground around the garage so I can actually get into it.
