This is what will be my garage door ! I will post pics of the final result

I am sure this kind of roof is not unique to Europe. It is around 2 to 3 inches thick. As i don't have the garage door installed, i don't know about the isolation capacities of the roof. I will tell you more later !

You are right, the kitchen is IKEA but with a lot of classic brass handles. It is quite simple to build, but it took me a lot of time... See the story in the following pics !

I am no englishman, just French ! Well, these little cars are so charming... and my very first car was a Triumph Spitfire (and i still have it !), so it makes me feel young each time i drive it !:)

Back to the garage ! We had a beautiful weather this week-end, so i picked up my old MG and bring it to the new garage ! TC3471 is the first car to enjoy the new place ! There is a lot a work to finish the place : heaters, door...etc I will post pics as soon as possible !

For bchee who asked for kitchen pics ! (I thought it was a garage-only forum !!!)

Lights are basic IKEA stuff with some metal bracket done in house ! Thanks for the comment !

Painting is done now, and i've found cheap, strong and nice tiles for the ground : It will be a lot easier to keep clean than paint.

Thanks for the nice comments ! I will post some more pics very soon !

Hi Morrisman ! I am close to Paris, this is why it is a small garage !

The driveway is completed : And here it is after the karcher pass : Lot of work done inside too : insulation, paint, electricity... Looking better and better from the garden :
