Nige, Rick do tell me how the devil you get those super size pics posted.
ps Luv the cat pic

This is my garage.
Important (as per thread title) :
There are no chairs, sofas, fridges. THIS IS NOT A MAN CAVE.
There are no mowers, dibbers shovels, rakes or bottles of weedkiller, no footballs, no garden furniture. THIS IS NOT A SHED.
This is a Garage/workshop, there are tools, parts, cars in various states from concept/kit to on the button, there is a lathe (vital to qualify as a workshop) Bicycles are reluctantly admitted until I have built a bike store! W

Took a while to spot the lathe!

Agree with the definition of a workshop.

Space for 4 at a push, but storing 2 plus a really good working bay for a 3rd is best. I keep filling it and then some, despite storage above one half....it has done nothing for my hoarding tendencies! Both cars being in bits does not help, cars take up so much room when torn apart. My new lathe has found its home but have not had chance to play with it yet

They allowed me a double instead. Nice having a complete stranger 'allowing' me what to do ?
I decided to disguise it as a summer house in keeping with the 1880's coach house.
I arranged the base and then a 6 man team from Warwick Buildings arrived at 8.00am and completed the garage and roof by 5.00PM.
I was, and still am impressed. A bargain for £7k all in and it's still in good nick.
Council bloke probably did me a favour as the more space you have - the more junk you collect.

I like that, I assume the quality is as good as it looks? Always worry about wooden garages in terms of security but in reality any structure can be broken into if they want in.

No structural problems with the wooden garage. The installers only insisted that the base must be 100% level and would be laser tested
before work commenced. If it wasn't level I would need to pay travel expenses for the team. This is how they left it on the day.



They strongly advised that I apply 2 coats of 10 year stain or paint, which I did, and it still looks good. The front of the garage
faces strong westerly winds yet it's as sturdy as the day it was installed. Even the squirrels haven't been able to rip the Belgium
tile effect felt from the roof.
As a pricing exercise, English Heritage Buildings quoted £ 26,000 for a like for like design in oak.
If they could replicate the original fish scale tiles of the house the estimate was £ 35,000.
If the garage was attached to the house it might have been worth considering but that quote was more than the
value of the 911 at the time.

Looks ideal.

I'm looking at a double cart lodge type thing at the moment next to my garage so the Camper and Boxster are undercover. Amazing how prices vary

Where is your 356?

Hi Neil, sorry about your woes, i'm guessing a bit of Garage showing off isn't helping today. 356 overwinters in a friend's overflow storage barn in the village and lives in the drive in the rain April-November. Too big and scratchable for the workshop! GWS W
