cheers guys, although its slowing down a bit ast least it water tight now other than the doors

this gives you an idea of space even with all the crap in there theres loads of room to get round the car




all the fire board is in other than the corners as the council want to see thats its doubled up to give 1 hour protection, thats to go with the cement board thats going on the out side



My mate Rick finishing of the muck work hes worked like a mad man all week even in the pissing rain


the outside is now covered in the vapout barrier and I should have it battenen out for next weekend,
Anyway im off out in a bit for a bit of 4x4ing as all work and no play makes Matt a dull boy!!

 

Also I have run the Ł200 worth of armoured cable through so as and when the sparkey comes round he car connect it up and I will power out there
I have run all the cables for the lights and as soon as the scokets turn up I will run the cable back to the consumer unit although I still need to get one first!!

 

doing a cracking job there matey,b good to see it finished.u putting an electric door on it???

 

just looked back through the project pics






A lots changed




and as it stands as of 5 mins ago

 

awesome garage that mate, like the idea of going down, which keeps the overall pitch height low, and doesnt impact on your neighbours! well done!

 

you've got fancy gates as well now

 

didnt have much choice tbh but its worked out quite well


Yeah mate a fellow RS owner made them, the guy that ownes k38fmc in fact!

 

surely the regulations are written down black and white, so surely you either complied or you didnt. theres no room for movement surely.

if it was me and i was confident i was right, id tell the inspector to fuck right off and complain to the council. Im sure they have other inspectors who actually know the rules.

 

sorry only just seen this

thanks it WILL be finished this year and i'm hoping to have the ramp in and working in the next few weeks!
as for the doors I need something that will keep the noise in so I dont fuck the neighbours off so my mate will be making bi-folding doors from 4x2 so can fill it with rockwool, all to keep the noise down.........I hope

 

yeah you'd think so, but tbh its easier to just go with it when it makes no real odds to overall price, +I will be complaining once its all done and signed off

 

Looking awesome. . . What will it have cost you in the end?

 

well so far I have spent

Ł1200 on grab loaders
Ł800 on steel mesh
Ł700 on blocks
Ł400 sand/cerment etc
Ł1500 on concrete
Ł1500 timber
Ł1300 on the roof
Ł1500 labour
Ł40 on rock woll
Ł450 on wiring,scokets, lighting etc
Ł400 on plastics(guttering etc)

God I feel sick now lol

all costs are a rough but close enough

still got to sort the doors, get the sparkey in, oh and the little job of cladding the fucker

 

It's gonna be a belting garage for the money though. Nice work.

 

I take it that the roof is high for a ramp ,will you have enough space for another car aswell or is it just enough for ramp and car . Neil

 

There's enough room atm for 2 cars but once the ramps in then I think there will only be enough space for 1 but that was the plan all along to have entry of space for working on the cossy without risking damaging it and having to keep moving it about to get to one side or the other if you get me

 

if i wore a hat i'd take it off to you sir, very well done,

 

Isn't this finished yet Baxter???

 

Well the ramps just been fitted and thought it best to try it out
so stuck my brothers motor on there



I'm well chuffed its something I have wanted for a while,
Pretty much all the cladding is done, other than the front as I am looking at my options for the doors as the ones my mate made me are a pain in the ass to use.
Cant decide wether to make them work of to fuck them off and get a roller shutter the thing thats putting me off the roller shutter (other than the money!) is they look a bit industrail.

so now all I have left to do it plumb the sink in lay some rubber workshop flooring tiles,finish boarding the inside, have a tidy up, slap a bit of paint about and i'm done ready to rip the cossy to bits and make it better than ever

 

Nice!!

 

very jealous

thats awesome my man, you must be chuffed with what you done

 

if it can lift that thing your cossie is going to be light work

looks very inice

 

thats an awesome set up, bet theres not many more personal garages to rival that one

 

Have a look thru the threads there is some bigger builds on here

 

well done matt,looks well mate

i have fitted a electric insulated roller shutter door and i would highly recommend it ,its really sturdy once its down and all the sections have locked into eachother ,their is no way you would kick it in and it cant be pry[sp] barred from the bottomm as the motor holds it in place ,available in loads of colours .

have to get mine finished now ,going slabbing it tomorow with a mate of mine

 

Great Garage buil some very hard work gone into it thats for sure

 

Ta

chuffed is an understatement

I dont know about that, but im very happy with it

Cheers James, its getting there still plenty to do tho but at least its useable, as for the door my brother asked a mate of his for a price for a remote electric insulated roller shutter, has to be remote or key switch as there is no other way in bes come back with Ł1400 for cash, no idea if thats good or not?

Cheers, its been a long time coming

 

thats it thought I best have a play with something im not bothered about

 

matt i would have thought 1400 cash was a bit expensive ,i paid 1300 euro which would be about 1k sterling fitted with 2 remotes .

 

As long as we are playing swords I paid e1200 for two motorized roller doors with four remotes operating three units.....





Fitted

 

Very nice project Matt, would have loved a lift but didn't think they were afFORDable when I built....

 

are my eyes playing tricks on me? looks like the ramp pillars/post are not on the ground

 

Tbh I was thinking about Ł1k, so am gunna haver a look about and get some quotes,

sounds like an awesome price Rob

I paid Ł1500 all in fitted etc do not bad really and already I don't know how I lived without it lol

 

Love this thread, love this garage!

How high can you get a car in there before it hits the roof cross beams? I guess you could park something underneath if you have a car cover and thus fit two cars in? Plus the suspension/tyres won't be under load when it's not being used...?

 

Cheers mate I'm well chuffed, and at long last the cossy is now in there for some tlc,
I can get the focus and cossy in there sort of



I have just about 6ft under the car at full lift including the land rover discovery so it's just enough for me!

 

Excellent Garage

 

spot on that

 

 

One word springs to mind ''Kinky''

 

cheers

it is although I could have done with it being a little wider

thats pretty much how I feel about it

not sure about it being "Kinky" I like to think of it as FUCKINAWESOME!!!


Just waiting of some better prices for an electric roller shutter door then I can sort tiling the floor and THEN! get all the shelving/storage sorted how I want it, but in the mean time Is in use with sorting the cossy out

 

Whattttt
