Hi I hope to start building a similar style building but a bit smaller. I'm still waiting on planning permission. How are you pouring the slab? Is it just going to be floating within the walls? Are you insulating the floor? Also it looks like the front walls have solid pillars for the door is...

Hope all is going well. Your build has inspired me to look into having a bigger garage now before submitting plans. I may have a few more questions, if that's ok. I went to uni in Colchester so know the area you live around. Can t wait the the next up date. Nathan

Hi Martin. Great progress I'm about to submit plans for a similar garage. How close are you to your side and radar boundary? Also what will be the max height of the ridge for the pitched roof? Finally as you are over 30sqm I assume the garage needed to be built with building regs. Thanks for...

Great news! So satisfying when an engine starts n a project.

Fingers crossed. Always a sweet moment when you fire up a project.

Hi Roger Hope the floor looks good. I ve Sent you a pm. Nathan

Hi Thanks for the offer of advice, I will take you up on that. Can I pm you my email address? Funnily enough you are probably not that far away from me, I live in Berkshire. My parents lived in Chesham when i was at school. Good luck with the concrete. Nathan

Congrats on the door gap. We knew you d have a solution.

Hi roger Thanks for the reply, that was really helpful. When I spoke to a builder he was uncertain as to what would be required for an insulated garage floor. But i was told it was possible. I have looked on the planning portal, i think its because I want a pitched roof wand the tiles that I...

Hi Roger. Great build so far. I'm just about to seek building permission for my garage, and wondered about the details the authorities wanted for the insulated floor. Do you have the insulation above or below the damp proof membrane? How thick did they want the concrete floor? I have read the...

Hi. A few builds to start with for me. The first is a garage. Will start in the spring. Then the fun can begin! I have two 1964 Morris Minis, one a cooper which is a restoration job. The other is highly tuned, and is purely a fun car. But both will require a lot of body work. Probably with...

Hi time warp. I just wanted to say that I have been a long time lurker on the forum, getting ideas for my up coming build. But your thread is one of the most interesting and coolest I ve seen, and I look forward to all updates. Hopefully your health will pick up, and you definitely have the...

Hi, great build. I've watched this with a lot of interest as am planning a similar garage (ie as big as I can without planning permission). Could you share any advice? What's the height of your ridge? I guess the walls are around the 2.1m limit? Thanks for any help and I bet you can't wait to...
