Thankyou, storm model too. needs a freshen up but it'll come together when the garage is built

Haa shE must be gettING on a bit now.

Thanks yeah I feel putting in a few hundred quid into it without disturbing the structure is the best solution.Effectively it provides more room for the temporary garage next to it too. C-caveman and wayno convinced me to go back to my original ideas, building a seperate garage next to it. I'll...

Hello people, My friend who works in the building trade, who operated the digger convinced me that footings weren't needed unless I was going to build with brick. I agreed although I was tryng to future-proof for in the future. So we are now just going to slab it over with 300mm premixed...

C-caveman, I can't budget for a new garage just yet, if I had the funds I'd go with pp, and go 8x 6.5. I feel the best thing for me and the budget is to modify what's already there at just under 30sqm until I'm a little richer. I imagine br wouldn"t allow the panels? as you say the roller...

You are correct on all of that, as it's a bungalow I can't really provide a picture that would help anymore really.

I vote number 2, although here are 2 of my ideas when I was thinking a while back. number 1 I like crowns sketch and your number 2, the wooden lean-to of mine I thought about back In May, it was a cheap thought towards getting something up nice and easy, whilst widening the original garage...

To be honest whilst there is some truth to that, in theory that only applies to someone concerned with something cool and unique or potentially hazardous. I'm old school, and health and safety and the modern world really gets on my **** sometimes. Since health and safety has created the...

Will do, there's so many ideas. It would be a shame to knock it all down just for a modern alternative. I can go 1 metre wider without needing planning permission, then the garage will keep it's current structure, but ideally I need space for 2 cars and 2 motorbikes in the garage. Or I could...

It's ****** brilliant , I love the front of the shed, it's got a 30's feel about it. Those doors have come out great, They've got the right character and set it off lovely, Nothing wrong with home made jobbies. Loving the outside hinges too, what's the next plans

FJ I hope to keep those comical windows, It's really awesome backyard engineering, a bit like the late Fred Dibnah and his mineshaft that he built in his back garden. But it depends on how I design the roof, as a big problem is that it's not insulated, and there's quite a gap between the...

The car is a 1984 mk2 Vw Scirocco Storm. Anderson Panels were made in 1938 and if you were poor they were given to you free, and if you earned a certain amount you paid a fee. You were meant to dig quite a deep pit into the ground and cover it with soil. like this After the war you were...

Hi, I'm Dave from Hampshire in the Uk. I have used this forum in the past to get ideas for my project that I'm about to carry out. I moved into my house March this year and I've just managed to save up the first load of money to fund my footings and concrete. Once the base has been spread out...
