Garage potential? (Pics & Plans page 1)

here does anyone know where u can get gd work tops and tool storage?? u know the cupboard types with rubberised matts and all

 

Nah the 1st 2 feet seem to be the downstairs content of what was left when there was a fire there ....electrical wire, sockets, beading, burnt wood etc.

 

Was around Dubusiness in Taffswell & he had aclever idea of using thestorage trays/shelvesthat used to be in the back of works transits .

 

Right had another quote that came out about the same price.....


So i asked if he had anything else to offer & had a look around land & he decided to match the other quote & pay for the cost of removing & leveling the ground (which would have cost me about 300) & also put some walls up elsewhere & a new fence forotherareaof garden & some extra security& stronger doorswith lights that come on when door opens.


Diggers will be in within the next 2 weeks & all work should be finished 2 weeks after diggers finish.

 

Day 1:








That will be 6 tonne's removed so far Which will now need a 3 tiered retaining wall because of the drop.

its getting exciting now mate look forward to more pics!

 

sorted fella...its all go

 

nice one mike


oh and looks like us locals have found ourselves somewhere warm for the winter repairs then

 

cool keepp on updating the pics!

 

got anymore progress pics mate?

 

nothing much more today lads......trench now made into a complete square but waiting for council examiner to check this stage friday before any more work (im paying 260 to make sure builders stick to regulations ).


& the examiner will decide after calculations how wide the bottom of the retaining wall has to be.


They should finish the other jobs they are doing on weekend & start mine fully on monday with a full crew.


On another note the boss told me that it took enough lorry loadsto fill the equivalant of about 12 skipswhich would have cost about 1500 (120 each skip & digger costs) but this way it cost him about 700 (glad it's in his quote ).

 

i hope we are gonna have agarage warming party when its finished

oh and i think i saw your mate in his escort driveing through ponty tonight.

 

Hmm garage party sounds fun , Hmmm was it the white with blue stripes one because he doesnt take it out much unless its really good weather?

 

When i see holes this big i wonder if im being crazy .

 

can i ask a question?





is that, on the leftthe back / front door to your house?

 

You can see from this drawing my path (yellow) and because it will be concrete i need to get rid of rain water so will have a drain fitted & run the pipework under the garage to a soakaway which the roof drainpipe is also attached to.

 

With a roof like that!?

 

Thats the neibours garden (whose wall i removed ).


My rear entrance is the 9ft gap in the wall (there wont be a pathway going around my garage as im using the full width of garden so only access is roller door).

 

eh?
