I have not been very active with the car lately and the reason is my current project!

We are currently building an extension and a double garage, My builder has said this is the biggest garage that he has built!!!!(6m x 7m, Plenty of room for my toys!!:reddevil:)

Here are a few pics and I will take more as the build goes on :-

And so it begins!!

I'd love a garage that size, big enough for all the essentials (Fridge, widescreen, settee....) Hope the weather holds for you mate.

Go on........how much is a 'load'?

As someone who is in the early stages of planning something similar, I'd be interested in knowing real world costs from you Rob.

We have had plans drawn up for this double garage and an extension on our bungalow these along with building regs and an engineers report cost around

nice project! I have recently started sorting out my double garage, have white washed the walls, painted the floor. Bought some nice shelving and a workbench etc. Even that all adds up!

Next stage is putting up lots of strip lights I have and installing more plug points around the walls for plugging in the essential tools!

Good luck with finishing it!
