garage build, garage section

must have this in the right section surely

. after 7 long years with no garage to speak of, the bank has said yes to a re-morgage and i can finaly start buiding my new home.. i meen garage

my plans were passed almost 3 years ago, ive a big yard (old school play ground)so i stuck plans in for as big a building as i could, not giving a thought to the cost or if i could afford to build it

plan was to do the whole thing myself one block at a time. but 3 years on and it looked like i was going nowhere with it so it was dicided to borrow the cash and get some builders in to do the ground works and a joiner to errect a timber frame building.. i will then tile the roof and do the block and stone outside walls myself (that part my take some time)
work started this week on the founds which are of a raft/slab type

That's what I want when I'm older-A big garage, double garage perhaps, and a house not much bigger

. It would be half the garage for my tools and bench, half for a motor, and a sizeable drive for rolling it out and such on those hot summers days for tinkering..........ahhhhhhhh.

Damn, my mind wanders! Nice work Sqweaka, is this going to supply some build-space for that Pop build, then?
