for the colour scheme thinking something like this, although blue looks a bit bright

started to paint in inside (even though no floor in yet) put up 10mm OSB board with insulation behind. Painting all white for now but was thinking of forming a contrasting border at high level, Low level will be hidden by the cars.. Anyone any ideas of what i should go for in terms of pattern /...

finally got electrics sorted out.. put LED spots into the soffit overhang, they aren;t going to light up the area in front too well, but more to wash down over the front face

i put extra reinforcing bars in at all the corners, really as overkill but thought it would reduce potential cracking. When the floor goes in there will just be a joint line showing

it is an inca van, just parked in there to make some room outside, son does mechanic'ing work and at times there could be 8-10 cars sitting out there and not always parked sensibly

thankyou, was looking at the uPVC cladding systems but they were working out expensive, i prefer wood although there will be work ahead to keep it looking good. Was going for a vertical timber corner trim but ended up with some flashing. It will also help when the well and shrub are removed and...

phase two already in the planning stages . this is the side with an awkward area, might put a roof over it and help protect a car

Been a while from posting, works been slow, just getting flashing trims folded properly was a nightmare, the profile required and the machine operator, just didnt connect but got there in the end. Sheeted the inside after fixing polyurethene insulation (which i got for free), OSB was £8 sheet...

thanks, i still have the alpinas and they still look good. BBS's are hard to keep clean

cladding finally on, corner trims to sort out and edge flashing for the fascias

Update.. Framing is now up and all four sides are bolted together, just need to diagonal check before bolting down. Some purlin rails still to be put up. Going to order some roof cladding shortly, undecided as to go for a clear polycarbonate sheet in each of the 3 bays to let some daylight in...

well here she is e30 sport in delphin grey 138,000 miles 1991. Will let the pictures do the talking rather than me....

for sure i'll be putting down a heavy gauge polythene turned up at the edges. layer of sand blinding getting done first, screeded level and then the concrete
