me and kerry have had our house since june last year our first ive allways wanted a big garage when i get my own home the plans went in near enough straight way and 6mths later we got started :-D its nearley 100% finished but ill put pics up in stages

june 2008 just before we moved in(not my sharran on drive lol)






the garage will start at the small wall which the garden steps up so we needed too drop the garden to the same level as it would be a little high up in garden

i cleared the old sheds trees and decking









luckly a mate works at a grab hire company so in they came with the machines they got rid of the front garden and replaced with stones so we had room for the cars and then comenced to remove 120 tonne of mud



















the week end finished ready for building inspection no.1 but when i looked at the plans they had dug the footings too narrow so they had to cum back eeekk

 

I bet your neighbours loved you looks like a 450 instead of 600, keep us posted mate

 

they dug em 300 wide should of been 600 wide morning of 1st inspection woke up to this



so out to drain the trench 1st thing

 

looking to build or extend my garage at some point, but the planning dept aren't keen on my first plans, whats the size of yours going to be?

keep the pic's coming, and how did you get away with dumping all that dirt on the road and pavment, my neighbours tried to get me done for parking 3 vans out side my house only half on the pavment not blocking the whole thing!!!!!!

 

its my dream to have a house with a big garage/workshop and my cossie fiesta in it,

lets see some more then mate

 

fook me, where has your garden gone fpmsl

 

i love a build garage. so keep us posted.

Nearley 100% finished but ill put pics up in stages . ( you bad boy you )
Wen are you going to sick more pics on.

Nice cars to.

 

fuck u dont hang about, do u own groove garge mate?

 

i didnt know they dumped it all in the street, i heard they wernt happy but they never said owt to me lol and the lad over the road power washed it all mint so nowt was ever said

its 9metres long by 5.8 metres wide

 

Come on get em up you prick tease

 

i thing we had to comprimise was the roof structure it should of been an apex roof with proper roof tiles but the architec fooked up thought we had the certificate to build but it was a fail certificate :-( we was half way through brick work so we had no choice to have a flat roof which i got the rubber firestone type with a 10 year guarantee

 

now the garage is up we cant get in it lol so called in another mate to do the drive we hired another mini digger and i couldnt resist in having a go









i did realy well no 1 showed me how to do it and the p100 came in realy handy when the skip was full

it was block paved at the front so i wanted to carry that on as i like it

 

10 year guarantee

Whats the name of the membran.

 

its firestone rubber like a big innertube lol i like that idea they use it for pond liner

 

same stuff that in my koi pond m8 lol

 

Firestone Pond Liner.

I am a roofer and have dun firestone in ponds, but not on a roof.

Whats the matter, your work garage not quite big enough?

That's bloody extreme that! You don't do things by half do you!

Tim

 

fooking sweet, bet it like the fast and the furious at your gaff. Just need a BBQ on the patio for summers and a t88 on the wall in the garage

 

Id just like to say that the membrane on your roof is meant to be wet for its life consistancy i.e in a pond. But on a roof you are getting all year weather, especially in the summer with the expanding and contracting of the membrane. Is the membrane been laid on marine ply insulation boards? Im abit of a roofing boff...I do apologise.

 

looks a cracking garage !

 

love the garage well done

 

looks very nice mate

 

Thats some size! Can you fit 4 cars in there? Hard to judge from the pic!

 

Looks mint, I'd love to make my garage bigger and take up the whole rear garden, but my misses would go ape s**t!!!
Im pushing it now with the garage, carport and drive that can fit 3 cars up

 

its fitted all over the world in hot and cold climates and performs very well it is totaly flat and holds water so when it rains it stays on top and when sun eventualy cums out will evaporate the water 1st so far so good been on for abt 5 mths

thanks for your comments peeps yea can get 4 cars in not working in it unless summat dont start at home well for now any way the newness is still there and dont want to fook it up lol
my misses is fine with it as she gets a spot for the focus rs lo, just 1 thow hehe

 

I'd love my garage to be that big,nice one m8.

 

thats mint, ad love to built sumit like that.

 

Great work there Geoff!

Looks great! How long will it be before it turns into a store room or an extension of the loft?? ha ha

 

wow thats an extreme back garden make over!!! where abouts in bolton is that? i live in westhoughton and would have thought that wouldnt have got through planning! but you obviously did!

 

wow!

i can't believe you're allowed to build that in a back garden but fair play!

 

Garage of my dreams

 

youve got plenty of room in there, looks very nice

 

lovely garage, nice size

 

Bloody hell, thats not a small section of the garden you've used!

 

How much roughly did this cost you all in if you don,t mind me asking?Just the garage,not removing the mud or block paving.

 

now that is a very nice looking garage gotta do mine one day foundations have cracked so i want to build a new one behind old one then knock old one down ,but the problem is i keep spending all my money on the escort lol.

 

i could do with a big garage as mine is small prefab thing?

 

a very big garage Geoff, but i would of took it right to the limits width wise, saves having a little run at the sides.

nothing better that a garage in the house.
