No bigger than before is it? 
Looking forward to seeing it functional with the lighting, flooring and some nice units. Lots of shadow board please.

To be fair I have struck quite lucky, quote was good to start with, one of the builders vans died so I got him a newer one and that come off the bill, the electrician is my brother, the plumber is a good friend and the painter is an old boy who works for £50 a day, even the tiler did the job in exchange for me putting a new diesel pump on his van. Works out great to be fair, a lot cheaper than quoted and works well at getting me new customers. The floor is fully tiled and looks great, the ceiling has also been plastered so its moved on, problem is is dark when I get up and also when I get home to take photos. Thanks for all the comments.

I read that as "I have struck quite lucky... one of the builders died", seemed an unlikely was of getting a discount. ________________________________________ Membership expiring soon, get in contact on our new little forum project. |

Can't bloody wait to clean up my toys and park them in the new shed.

Bloody forum, won't let me edit a post so here's it all in full.Well here is an update that's a little long over due, things have been slow as its just the finishing touches to do and getting tradesmen to do small jobs is a nightmare, tiler was meant to finish off the study but still not been, good job I owe him money as I may get someone else in and fob him off. Had the utility all painted-  Even the ceiling in the garage done white, unsure whether that was a wise choice. I had put one of my toys in storage when the build started and only did it for 10 weeks, now we are into our 17th week it had to come out, I took it to my workplace but it would only be a matter of time before it got damaged so decided to bring it home today. First of all I had to move a load of hard core, started with this- Ended with this which believe it or not was bloody hard work-  Still a little problem of this, it's a good 2ft drop at least-  Well now was the time to get some of the old garage roof trusses and a few bricks to try and level it all out, I have to say my fingers and toes were securely crossed, at this point it also started to p**s it down-  As you can see its quite a height I was trying to manage-  Nearly there-   She is finally in and no damage done, phew-  Now parked, the electricians will be happy working around it I am sure-  Carl ________________________________________ C.G.Cars of Leicester, Peugeot/Citroen/Renault specialist Tel: 01162 624498/07799 405184 WWW.CGCARSLEICESTER.CO.UK36 narborough road south, Leicester LE3 2fn MOT station now open, tests £35 with a free retest.

Bloody hell, brave man! Would not have been pretty if those boards hadn't held. White is definitely best for the ceiling, will make the room so much brighter to work in ________________________________________ Membership expiring soon, get in contact on our new little forum project. |

Should you not have painted the walls before you had the plumbing and electrics put in? Those spots look lovely, this a garage or a car showroom?!________________________________________ Membership expiring soon, get in contact on our new little forum project. |
