Hi, One of my neighbours is a landscape gardener so I got him to do the job his price was £1100 that included the concrete which is 4/5inches thick. It will prob cost me a bit more as today he was laying shingle around the shed and clearing up a bit. He'l be doing the decking in the next few weeks its a compromise and keeps the misses happylmao

Cant wait to move this!!

I'v christened the garage by putting the wife's Corsa in there here's a few pics...

Theres a fair bit of room around it but not sure if this is bigger than the GTE or smaller?

 

[1800turbogte]

Hi i'v been busy today painting the garage and now i'm shattered.heres some pics

I did take some more but for some reason they didn't come out:doh:. And I did finish it.

 

[1800turbogte]

The GTE's come to stay. I thought I'd see how much room i'd have with the GTE. Heres some pics....

Sparks coming at the wk end. Should be powered up soon cant wait... Audi in for a polish in the garage this avo, It only just fits down the driveway between the gates. It wont fit when I build a bench

 

[1800turbogte]

Sparky didn't quote me happy but for what im having done including a couple of switches and a socket for the porch I guess its not to bad. He's putting in 6x 4' fluoresent tubes and 8X double sockets and its own fuseboard and an outside light. and an earth stake. The cable is under the concrete already. Our cul de sac is very secure but i'l look into an alarm.
Yesterday saturday my Electrician came round to start wireing up for my 8 double sockets and six light fittings. So I popped down to work and got some board to start boarding it out.

Got to get some more board to finish off probably about 15 more:doh: when I got home I cleared the old shed so that can come down. Didn't realise how much **** we had in there, Also this wk I started making my new shed no pic's as yet.

 

[1800turbogte]

Hi i'v been busy. firstly, I finished off boarding out the Garage, But before I did I built a shed off the back of the garage I recycled my old shed but built a frame 1st and used the shiplack and orignal door. I'v got to say im pleased with it. Then I built my bench in the garage. I'v been doing a bit inside but have no pics of that..Here's some pics...

The shed is painted the same colour as the rest of the garage and looks ace. Check out my lights and sockets! Power tool heaven!!!

 

[1800turbogte]

Been busy again this weekend Managed to get shelfs up! And stack everything up so the floor can get screaded tomorrow. Happy days!! Here's some pics! And some painted shed shots..

 

[1800turbogte]

Under the tarp at the bottom of the garden is all car parts,mainly from the 4x4 but allot of other bits. And the bins on top of the work bench are parts and tools. I should have a garage sale..

Its getting closer its now on the driveway waiting to go in!

Here I am clearing the dirt out ready for the fella to come back and give the floor a final skim.

Got my grinder on the wall. And managed to finish my drawers off!

Selena was rewarded with a beer for all her hard work, check out her dirty face you would think she had been working down a mine not in the garden! lol

So finally getting there. The 4x4 did go in the garage briefly but this was only to straighten it up.
I got quite excited. lol

Looking good so far, but hard to see with the picture the way they are. I would resize to 600X600 pixels and then reload. It would be much easier.

1800... if you hit enter after every photo it will put one on top of the other.

Neat project. Look like it went together easilly.

[1800turbogte]

Busy busy busy all wk end. For one it was my daughters 16th birthday. So we took her for brekkie saturday morning. Then after that me and Mrs B got busy in the garden and garage I started sorting all the tools out whilst Selena painted the fence then made a start on our table and chairs. We finished off today. I finished off by re-painting the floor.

My wife being very generous bought me this for Christmas.

And all wired in

A 30a cooker socket,a light were put into the shed and outside lights on shed and garage thanks to my spark for that..
Air line was run through the wall into the garage and into a regulator!!

Merry Christmas

I don't know how i missed this thread, but you did some VERY nice work. I'm impressed. Having a smaller psace myself I always prefer reading/seeing the innovative stuff gys with smaller spaces do. Well, except mine...not so innovative....I freely admit to stealing ideas all the time!

Hey just out of nosiness, WHAT is "Benidorm"? And who did the landscaping if you weren't there?

 

[UN4GTBL]

Wow, that looks great!

 

[daveroy]
