Day 16/17

Well as of today the walls are now at the desired height and done internally and externally, just waiting for the electric board to come so we can move the metre and we can remove the wall in the middle.

Bloody electric board where due here today and they just didn't turn up.

Next up its the roofers job to erect the rsj,s and the trusses.

Here's what we have today-

No I absolutely agree with you, plaster is for houses, painted blockwork is absolutely spot on for a garage. Plus you'd lose about half an inch all round, that's probably a few square feet of floor space once you're done

I dunno regards the walls inclined to leave them to sart with, but going to have the floor tiled.

It's getting a bit mad as the gas and electric metres to be moved has just got me £1400 obviously a bill I never took into account, I few things may have to wait, could have bought two gti6 for that money lol

Certainly moving along now and it's great to come home from work and see the Progress.

Don't you sometimes wish you never started these big ideas? Well the builders had built there walls up last week, the electricity board came and slapped my ass big time for £700 to move a metre and turned up three days late just to add insult to injury.

Now I have just been sat waiting for two rsj's and all the trusses for the roof, well come home from work today to find these-






I had to have these made as I may want to have a ramp in the garage, as you can see these have been done to make the most of the height available.





Got to say it has made me feel loads better, it's a bloody nightmare at the minute, when it rains we seem to drag all the sand and mud into the house and it looks just an eye sore lol.

Roll on the finished product.

It's grown a bit now the roof structure is on.
I'm jeolous, I want one, plenty of space at the back but it's tricky to get car round between the houses, not for me but its not somewhere you could easily park every night and get up early in the morning to go to work without upsetting anyone, makes me
Wonder if it's worth the money for me, if it won't put the house price up eg, in your case I'm sure it will make the price of the house go with a nice boom.

Well a bit more has happened, it has slowed down quite a bit now as the builder went on holiday then I have been having a few issues with the steel works.

Basically now just waiting for the steel work to be delivered and we will be back up to speed, paid for it today and they are being delivered on Wednesday so till then it's just finishing off the odds and sods around the porch.

The trusses have been fitted all the way to the house roof now and they have removed the tiles to match it together.



It's very odd when it's windy

The rear wall of the garage and what will be or was going to be a study (now going to be a nursury )



The opposite wall to the above and how it's looking from the inside of the meeting point of the garage to the house, still thinking what I could use all this space for once the roof is water tight around here the internal wall from the old garage will be removed.



Hopefully on wednesday when the steels arrive I can get the front all done as without it we cant build upwards over the garage door and fit the end truss.

It's so annoying as I just wanna use it.

Wont having a nursery next to the garage limit the amount of noise you can make in there Carl?

I bet babies small hands will be ace for doing cambelts in situ and fixing window winder mechanisims, from inside the door! Top work fella!

A bit more has happened, hooray.

All the steels turned up bar a plate which is needed to reinforce the front rsj over the garage door opening which meant the front wall could start to go up




I came home from work one day and the front door was not where i left it.



Where it once was



As you can see they didnt even move my shoes, buggers

They then concentrated on the porch, bringing the walls up to roof height and adding the trusses



Plus the brickwork
