I had seen that type of finish in the past, but it was my first experience watching the process. Very interesting. When the driveway was that blue colour I told neighbours that this was the colour it would be - they didn't seem too impressed. :)

new plastic snow shovel to avoid damage from a metal blade - good news is I am not shoveling past my gate, so only a small amount to shovel!

This is the only steel work. 3' grid of 10mm rebar, 5" thick slab.

yes, there is a little over 20 foot stretch of the original two strip driveway that remains leading in to the expanse. On the 'public' side of the gate this gives a parking pad for one car, and the rest of the expanse is past the gate (that is almost always closed). It gave us the look we...

This is on our to-do list. We have another structure to build out back, and we will be doing some landscaping at the same time, including some grid material to provide support while still allowing the grass to grow. It will be up the middle of the strip, as well as to the side where you might...

100% - love the look, realized how impractical it is very quickly!

I have a longer term vision of where I want to get my garage, my yard and my parking, but for 2020 I only managed to get the main driveway project done. We have a small carriage house on the back property line, and had two strips of concrete running roughly 100 feet from the front walk with...

Some great ideas, by the way your doors are awesome - we are leaning heavily toward carriage house doors. My wife likes the general proportions and style of your garage most overall. I think it has a nice simplicity. I agree, from an interior perspective having a high and interesting ceiling is...

Money is always tight when you keep adding cars!!! I won't pretend I am about to starve, but I am rapidly approaching retirement and want to be careful. I also want to ensure I have hobby space lined up before my income becomes "restricted". It is nice that my son's both have something...

Makes me want a bigger lot, what a beauty that garage is!

Thanks! More reliable than you might think, particularly the Jaguars. People like to talk trash, but you just have to maintain your cars.

Juggling act isn't it - would love to have twice the yard, but don't want to move from where I am. Considered buying an out of town lot, but that gets expensive fast, and I don't want them to be so far out of sight. Agree 24 x 24 would be tight, and that was roughly my starting point.

It would be rude not to share.... My 1985 Canadian specification TVR 350i FHC. They only made a total of 52 of these from 1983 to 1987. Of the 52 produced only 2 were left hand drive. My 1994 Canadian specification TVR Griffith 500HC. They brought seven Griffiths to Canada, five had a 4.3...

Nice! It looks like it works well, but an extra two feet each side, and one foot between probably wouldn't hurt - do you agree? My cars tend to be similar size to your lovely fleet.

That is a beautiful size - just can't push that far. Possibly a 24 x 45.
