Garage Build

Post by GJUK »

Hi all,

Having moved house to the Lincolnshire, I needed to create a new home for the Dart as none of the outbuildings are big enough :D . It's nearly done now; here are a few photos of the build. Hope you like.

Having cleared the top grass, we started like this:

Image

Image

Mini digger cost a bit to rent but boy was it worth it.

Image

about 4 tonnes of MOT, wacker plate and frame done for the 'crete.

Image

Sand and then DP layer added...
Full days work sorting this lot out, a full wagon of concrete, 17m3 or so.
If I ever get interested in HGV's I can park one on this slab!

Well done Jon :thumbright:

Looks plenty long enough but how wide is it going to be internally chap?
Lifes Too Fast But The Car`s Not, It even managed to miss the boat twice.
Now passed customs.
Now on route.
Now in posession.
Now costing me sh*t loads.

8.5m long by just over 3m wide. Enough to get the dart and ride on mower in. Though I will be building another 'shed' for the mower in the future :D

Thanks!

Long day painting.

Also as I have about 30 internal and external old oak doors, I 'upcycled' a door in to a work bench :D

Image

Nearly done now, painted the garage inside floor also.
