i also dug the trench to run all services to the garage and it rained hard, now i have a 2 foot moat around my house!

So the decision to put some land drains has been made to try and keep water from standing on the lawn once its sorted.

Thats mint that mate. Looks like attention to detail is second to none!
I have plans made for out the back of my house for a garage 7meters long by 5meters wide and have a few idea's already but this is a really good example to go off.
Top job mate, looks brill.

Should have removed the snapped spacers out of the grout lines before grouting. Apart from that, awesome garage. Did you put porcelain tiles down.

The snapped spacers were all removed.

I'll have to check door width but it was Ł1100.

Started painting last night as the plaster is now dry.

Bought some Dulux one coat in an attempt to get it done with only 1 application. I think it'll actually do the job. Slow process though.

When you first started building it I had s feeling it was going to be a bit small but now it's all buttoned up it does look very spacious indeed

Had an old dealership sign, so made use of it, stripped it out as old wiring was goosed, fit new light. Mounted it 2 inch from the wall with Blue LED strip behind it. Spot on
