At last we have a garden big enough for the garage I have wanted for a while

Its going to big enough to have a 2 post lift(hence going in the ground) with plenty of storage space upstairs either end for all the cossy parts I have!

Is going to take a while as the everyboys seams to dragging there heals a bit im doing what i can it in spare time with the help of mates

this is how it was till a few weeks ago
(only pic i have)




Then the old garage came down



We had some gates made by a fellow cossy owner(Cheers Mark)





Well that was the easy bit

its taken 3 days of solid digging to get this hole dug with the help of my missus and some mates! none of us have used any diggers dumpers etc so think we did ok tbh


First load out








Me doing a bit of gaffering!!


Because the hire company fucked up out order we had to use a 2 tonne dumper was a bit to big for my likkle digger so we had to makw the best of it







getting there





By this stage I was getting "quite good" with leveling with the digger
So started pulling the final leval through


And this is about where we are now( just put the car in there to make sure it was big enough and to give an idea of scale)






The next stage is to get the footings in, or what im hoping for is they let me do a 10"-12" reinforced concrete base and do the block work up to ground leval then it will be timber work from there so as soon as thats worked out it shouldnt take to long to get it water tight


Its going to have a tiled roof to match the house + it will look nicer with tounge and groove cladding
