I've been busy with work so hard to get a lot of time to work on things. New sewage pipe installed properly and sealed at the bottom. You can see where the washer and dryer will be placed (under the old staircase): Of course I'll add some nice trim around them at some point.. Ceiling...

Yup, definitely. And the same in the US too, I believe. The building regulations seem to be very laid back here. I'm more worried about the fumes than a fire. Though I'll have multiple extinguishers and fire alarms just in case.

Thanks everyone! Yes! My wife is still a little... sceptical of the glass wall. But I think it will really work. In my head, I see the garage extending out from the kitchen/living area, and there maybe even being a TV/sofa in there. And with the floor and one of the walls having the same...

Some pictures of my toys which will eventually get some love again when everything is done.

Last week I received the delivery of insulation for the roof and walls. Standard glasswoll for the interior walls, and then a combination of insulation and plasterboard for the roof. This week I finished off the remaining 2 door frames and put plasterboard up on one side: I also started on...

Next up was the stairs. I've never built a staircase before, so thankfully my father-in-law who is a retired builder came over for a week and helped out. He had never done an American style staircase before, and because of the angles and 'simple' design, it was quite a challenge. First strings...

Next up was the walls for the 3 rooms. Didn't take too long for the main structure to pop up: During this time I had to redo all plumbing downstairs. The gas boiler is in the back room and there was a combination of old heating pipes, old gas pipes, and new gas pipes. A ton of things that...

Thanks! Yeah, you can easily have 2 cars deep and plenty of space left for motorcycles. But adding the rooms at the side means less room, but the rooms are needed. And yup, Nissan 200SX (240SX in the Americas). S14.

So first up was removing all the existing **** from the garage. There was a built in storage area which had to be removed, along with the old plastered roof. Turns out it was so old, that there was no plasterboard. It was a combination of plaster, metal and stones. It was absolutely horrible to...

Hey folks. I've been lurking at all fantastic garages here over the past few months. It's a great source of inspiration for our project. I'm from Northern Ireland but currently live in Haarlem, Netherlands. Our house has 3 floors: ground floor with garage and large space at the rear, 2nd floor...
