It's not like you haven't got access to lifts as it is!! You have a workshop with everything you need, how many major jobs are you actually going to do at home that doesn't warrant a rinsing back to the workshop?

I wouldn't even bother with a lift personally. Smile

Its always nice to know i can tinker at hone tho.

i think one of these will suffice-

Carl

it must take a fair bit of pumping the handle up and down to get the car right up in the air, takes a lot of manpower aswell to use all 8 mechanics everytime the coach needs lowering and raising, good teamwork though to keep it level while raising and lowering

You are a plonker Andy, that's the handle to move the ramp around, it's like a pallet truck once the handle is upright its dropped on the floor and the lift is done by the motor visable at the top.

Well I have been away for a while as most will know but the updates are slow, had a bit of a barny with builder tonight, basically was told 8 weeks, we are now 11 in and still no full roof, plus had no gas in the house for 3 days Crazy

This is where we are, photos are better than my spiel-

That's about it, the other pitch of the roof is half done. Thumbs down

Carl

for a lift can you not just sink a scissor lift into the ground?

Would've needed to have gone in first so you could put a damp-proof membrane around it. Plus I'd imagine that slab would've had to have been a lot thicker.

It has progressed I have just been to busy to get some snaps, the roof is now finished, all the brickwork is rendered and the fascias and gutters are all in place.

Was hoping the windows and doors will be in tomorrow, need to contact the garage door co and see what's what.

It's starting to take shape, it looks good.

Does indeed look good mate, so hard to get an idea of what size these things are going to be until the roof's on and you can stand inside it.

I take it you're going for some kind of insulated roller door? Also, really hoping there's some kind of lintel above the door opening, it's well hidden LOL

Main entrance halfway through the render process-

As it is now-

Main front door to the house, basically the keyed look-

Finished look, bar the paint colour-

A bit more has happened and it's starting to look like the end is in siight.

Came home to find the old external garage wall on the drive-

Which has left the nursery (which was meant to be a study) look quite large-

Another angle-

Doors and windows should be here next week so that means it will be water tight and I can get the floor tile and start with the plumbing and electrics.

Be great when it's done, just wish it would hurry up.

Carl

Mate this is looking awesome, makes such a difference when the render goes on. I think you should leave the nursery floor as it is, the little'un will only get crayon and paint everywhere if you put down a hard floor and carpet.

Blockwork and rubble floors FTW, just don't bother trying to hoover. You'll be there forever.

I do like your style the missus on the other hand LOL

, funnily enough I nearly had the snip about a year ago but then just forgot about it.

Well with it being bare it would house 4 306s quite easily, once it's got my work bench and bits and bobs I reckon it will be two comfortably and three if you just stack em in there.

I want to strip the rear of my 205 and give that some resto and possibly supercharge it so we will see what it's like as a working garage.

Well the builders forgot or as they put it was never told that I wanted drains at the front of the garage door, I think they got the hump so as I went work the dug some trenches and trapped the bike in the garage, w**kers LOL

, good Job it's chilly.

The actual trenches-

Carl

Don't ask they are good builders but if you don't talk to them like kids they seem to miss out important bits, drains being one LOL

He has had three and up to now, he puts them in his pocket like a pack of fags after a week it's barley readable, hence he forgot the drains.

You wouldn't believe the amount of pla Ning etc that went into the build.
