Take one relatively tidy garden:


Dig a large hole:


Ruin it with diggers and tippers etc:


and build a monster at the bottom:


and voila:


Last pic taken over a year ago so its looking abit prettier now. Was worth the mess.

Now thats what I call a garden makeover, end result is perfect.

Only criticism is its not big enough, what happens when you have 10 Rs's

Funny thing is I wish I'd have gone bigger. With 6 cars in there I wont have any room to work on them. Mind you, Plenty more space to build another. Plus I could park about 5 cars on the slab between the garage and the shed, that 6m x 7m+.

Here's my garden and garages. Bit of work in progress at the mo' as the workshop area(green doors) is undergoing a re-wire with new lighting and power points to replace the old stuff in there and the door that's laying on the ground is being fitted next week. Chucked in a picture of my old RS1800 sat in front of my palms .... my own piece of tropical paradise!

AJ absolutley awesome mate, I'm looking to construct something similar in my own garden without the roof.

Did you build it yourself, as I have a couple of questions I would like to ask before I commence mine!

cheers
