    New Garage!!! A history of my garages and whats to come :)

    Thanks guys, life came to a stand still for us, but the world kept spinning. That was the hardest bit, you want time out to fix everything, but everyone else expect life as normal. We are lucky in that Michelle my wife is a stay at home mum, so she became a full time carer and devoted her life...

    Changing the titles of a thread

    Hi guys, Would it be possible to change the title of a thread? I like to update the title with an update date, so viewers can see when there has been an update rather that just a reply :) Thank you. James

    Solace - My Detached Double

    Little update :) Went out to homebase, our version of Lowes I guess? I was going to get wood for the rolling drawer set, but the selection was rubbish :( I will go to Travis Perkins next week (TP's is a builders merchants), they will do all the bits I need and also rip the sheets accurately...

I need to focus on storage though, it is hard to fabricate when surrounded by mess :-) Y'sguy, the garage has two doors that lead into an open space. It needs the pillar at the front to hold the I-beam for the...

    Solace - My Detached Double

    Hi Brian! I for one would love to see 25 years of garage evolution, especially one that hides an LC bahnstormer :-) Thank you 1/2 cup, it will get better as time goes on, I have plans for white paint on the walls, and a plasterboard ceiling. Tools wise, a new pillar drill and a mini lathe...

    Solace - My Detached Double

    Thank you Sean :) I am feeling quite smug about it :D At the moment, there is a hatch and a ladder (can be seen in one of the photos). I will be enlarging the hatch and putting in a space saving staircase I think. It will comply with local building regs as it will only be accessing a single...

    Evening chaps and chappeses :) My name is James, and I have a new garage! (to me :D) After years of scratching around working with cars on driveways, then with a small workshop, then a small detached double, we have finally moved to a house with a substantial garage! I am lucky in that my...

    I've been reading GJ for over a year now, finally getting close to my garage build...

    I have only just joined too, having been a 'lurker' for some time, hoovering up the pictures and bulds of others garages. Sounds like you have a top garage on the way!

    Hi Chaps and chapesses, My name is James, and I have a new garage!! I started out working on cars at a friends farm, when I was 12-13 years old, building economy cars for the Shell Helix mileage marathon. I have no pictures of the farm 'shop, but here is the car - College started...
