this is part of the back garden, decided to pinch a little grass space and extend the garage, took 3 weeks to do with me and my dad. it came in under budget with planning permission etc. in total cost just under £3k. couldnt extend any further due to drain,rodding point in garden. was 5.7m x 2.7m extended 5.7m x 4.6m (18.7ft x 15.1ft) the house is on the right side looking at the forward view of garage.

 

nice size, good for working in!

 

thats a big improvement in space ,should make life easier when working on your car mate

cheers james

 

I would be very pleased with what you have for £3000. I wonder what a builder would have charged for the whole job.

 

Looks like a properly useful extra amount of space, can be a right pain working in a single width garage, those extra few feet should make all the difference

 

a more useable size. im sure you could have made it larger and had the rodding eye in the garage floor.

 

this is what i had done to my house, garage is 6m x 6m. Perfect for my focus cossie project.

cheers jason
