Well yesterday hubby managed to add the extensions to the framework so today he's hoping to get the framework and sides in place ready to put up.

You never know it may get done this week :D

Will add photos as we go along.

Okay well the extensions had to come off the garage. When hubby stood it up it was waaayyyyy too big and we'd have had complaints off the neighbours :lol: It was that tall that if you stood by the driveway gates the garage would block out the house behind us so it was unanimously decided that the extensions had to come off.

What a great start :roll:

Maybe you should move into the garage and leave the house for the car? :-) Shame, when it was looking to get done quickly.

The thought of turning it into a granny flat did cross our minds Hreow :lol:

You know what Kazz I'm begining to think you're right. I'm sure it'll be done this week. The weatherforecast is looking good and they are really cracking on with it at the mo.

They've finished another cuppa Mags so I'm off to take some piccies to show you the progress made so far today :D

Both sides of the garage have now been completed. Hopefully in the next few days we'll get round to putting the roof trusses on and securing it all in place then the back wall and door frames can be done.

I'm getting all excited now!!! :D

Nearly there Mags.

More pics when I get round to downloading them off my camera. We also made HUGE progress on the pile of wood that was infront of the shed. Me and my MIL shifted most of that today. So far 9 bin bag's full and 3 large plastic sacks full aswell :D I'd say about 30% of the stuff has gone today

Naomi
02-06-2006, 05:25 PM
Okay here we are. Made excellent progress as you can see :D

Naomi

Yep it's 5.5m x 5.4m a 2.4m high but hubby still reckons it's not big enough :roll: Was watching hubby, with my heart in my throat cos he was sat on the centre beam bolting the thing together earlier :shock:

I told you he would get it done is it at the front or the back of your house?

Naomi
03-06-2006, 07:42 AM
Up the back of the garden. Gonna put the front on the garage today and then put the roof on.

Am off to try and bag up some more of the 'green waste' so wont be online most of today again :D

OKay didn't manage to do a lot to the garage yesterday.

Today however has been a totally different kettle of fish :D The roof is on and the brackets for the roller shutter doors are in place so hoping to finish hanging the doors tonight :D

Started cutting the hedge back and have discovered an extra 3ft width of garden, 3 x dead rose bushes :roll: and 3 x pots so more plants being potted up next week :D Hubby found my bamboo sticks in the shed so have now tied my Jasmine to the bamboo so hopefully that will now start to grow upwards instead of across the driveway :lol:

All that's left to do now is remove the wood and what we've cut of the hedge sofar before I can do anymore to the garden but we are getting there.

More pics to follow tomorrow

Told you he could do it! And what a great size - I presume he will be using part as a workshop? Still - lots of space for *stuff*.
Well done Mr Nae!

Altho it's a double garage it will house one car and the rest will be his tools and stuff. To the side of the garage he is hoping to build a little lean-to shed which will house his air compressor etc. We already have the electric wires running upto the garage so once completed we will be getting our friend to pop over and wire everything up for us :D

As for the rest of the garden.......have no idea but once clear and we can see exactly the space available to us then we'll decide from there where we want to go.

Hubby's in the process of putting the second door on so hopefully if he carries on and does a bit every evening he might get it finished by the end of the week :D
