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!!

Fuck knows mate it's just been one inspector that's the problem,Harris by name Harris by nature lol,
it's quite funny as I had my brother (general builder) doing the prep for the slab and he had to call Mr Harris, he was a condescending cunt down the phone because he thought he was talking to the me ( home owner) but totally changed his tune when he saw a 14stone shaved head bloke covered in tats lol, not seen him since as my brother was pretty direct with him![Wink](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif)

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.

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

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

Well the ramps just been fitted and thought it best to try it out
so stuck my brothers motor on there
![](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v675/st200-tl100r/New%20Garage/e6ceab4d.jpg)
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

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 .

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

Too many posts.. I need a life!!

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...?

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!

it is although I could have done with it being a little wider![Red Faced](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/icon_redface.gif)
thats pretty much how I feel about it![Big Grin](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/icon_mrgreen.gif)
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![](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/roi.gif)
