TBH mate it's been spot on so far as it's only rained on us once.

Nothing is impossible it just costs more and takes longer.

It's going to be an epic man cave!

In the 13's at last!.. Just

Thanks mate, I hope, there is still a lot to do...

Looks neat and tidy si!

I notice that your building it with a cavity. Are you insulating it?

Well yesterday I got some more done .

The steels turned up and there was a very helpful driver that got them as close to the build as he could I had to jump up on the back to hold a rope as he swung it over my house.


As you can see I was close to having no tv lol


And it would of been rude not to get the first steel up there before the Xmas brake.

that is a very nice job there... no hole's in it to make it lighter?

you can do anything if you set your mind to it...
i rather blow it up winning than keep it together losing.

finish date set for project 1... march 2018

Thanks lads ,

Well work was getting in the way last week so I got some good time on it on Friday night and all of Saturday, I had today off from it.

I have the hole thing felted and all the batons nailed down I will start tileing tomorrow.

Tis looking very neat!! But hell from that angle it looks like it takes up the whole garden? If so permission must of been hard

Thanks Dave,

Planning was ok mate, as I went and had a chat with the planning lady first and asked her to call out and see what I am thinking of building, she was more and happy with it and I had no objections at all.

Thanks JT,

I have had a bloke helping me out here and there as he has a lot more experience doing this sort of thing. But have been doing everything I can to keep costs low as much as possible.

very, very neat garage! enjoy!

Well I have been cracking on with the workshop here and there. So here is one more boring update..

Like with most of this stuff I had never done tiles before so I grabbed the bull by the horns!




All the verge tiles had to be cut to fit, I was happy with the fit at the end.


Not bad full roof done in 2 days



Then I got cracking on with the inside, I have fitted 100mm insulation in the roof.


Then this was covered with 18mm OSB board


Also I got on with the mezzanine floor lots.


Got the door fitted I am super happy with it.


Here's a little pic of where I am up to as of tonight.

I bet getting the OSB up there wasn't much fun!
Are you going to give the ceiling a lick of paint to keep it nice and bright in there?

That's looking great Simon, top work
