Actually considered hiring a mini digger and doing this myself, however the disposal of removed soil/clay was going to be difficult so called in the pro's. Surprisingly cost effective and done in a single day plus once dug out earth takes much more space than I anticipated - at least 15-20...

Well after a long delay...... Sent from my iPad using Garage Journal

Actually yet to use for vehicle projects, need to transfer toolboxes, lift etc etc. Next big job is to dig out the drive. Power - actually running from a long extension cable until I dig out a trench (when I do drive) Sent from my iPad using Garage Journal

The hinges are in two parts, a rod screwed to the frame and a tube type receptor screwed onto door. The door can only be lifted off when it is opened to 90 degrees. It’s a security door with about 8 locking bolts around the door perimeter. To be honest the door is the most secure aspect of...

Actually I started to paint the floor first.....but insulation happened while I painted.... Wasn’t convinced how I wanted to do this, but when I realised it was a tad over 50mm between sheets and purlins an idea was formed. Proof of concept. Sent from my iPad using Garage Journal

My thoughts then turned to insulation. When I ordered the kit it was at least £3000 extra to use insulated sheets. The company offered good advice, if funds were limited then at least get the roof done at just over £1000 as this was the most difficult. I declined the offer, my intention was...
