What a difference a year on.............

I should have done it years ago instead of procrastinating and thinking about making the garage bigger.

Neighbours say anything to you about their new view?

Unreal space as said, would love more room around my house

Have you ever seen the film Grumpy Old Men?

That's my neighbour and me 🤣

He wasn't too happy when the digger was going as he works shifts but I can't help that. From their house it can only be seen from upstairs and they were looking at the face of a hill anyway, now the view is a green shed. Not much different 🤣

My other neighbour runs a brick layer squad so he built the block walls. I did threaten to dump all the soil he dumped (150tons) into my field when building his house back over his hedge into his garden..........I was joking 🤣 cost me to track it all up the hill instead 😠

Slowly getting there with my new garage. Was hoping it would have been finished by July but got hit by quite a few delays but it should be watertight soon. I've a Type R Impreza in the bodyshop since May and want to be able to give it a good home.

How TF do I drain the water before the concrete comes?

I dug a sump hole at one end of the track. 39 said pump from screwfix made short work of it. I actually left it in until I had the wall built, as the water will cover the founds.

If you make a wee track at back of found to let all water reach sump hole 👍

Anyone want to provide any thoughts as to roller vs sectional door? I know it's been mentioned a couple of times but I'm trying to work out what's best and can't seem to decide. Most things point to sectional being a bit better but I'm concerned about the lighting aspect - so anyone any regrets or recommendations?

Sectional would be better insulated etc but I didn’t want the rails etc exposed on the roof and also lighting can be an issue although you can add it under the rails too

I went with insulated roller doors

Anybody any experience of these garage doors:

garolla.co.uk

Garolla Garage Doors

garolla.co.uk garolla.co.uk

Or even know if this is a decent price? The £895 offer price.

The price quoted is for a plain white door and does go up fairly quickly once you start adding things. They do however cover NI which a lot of online places don't.
