Feck knows what that purple stuff is?


NO no water supply mate but im putting an external tap down below my veranda which will be a few steps up from the back garage door.

 

is it going to be double or single skin ?

 

Brick and mortar i hope!

 

single skin mate.

 

That's the hard core down (looks like a cement/stone kind of base up close), Then the concrete floor to be pored on top tomorrow.

Sooooo jealous!

Wish I had the space and money to do something like that!

One day maybe!

 

i had the fun job of cutting the mesh for our foundations last night...sparks everywhere

concrete is coming tomorrow

 

Hey mike I hope they just poured bags of sand and cement into the'footings moat', propper Valley Commando style

 

Ooh cheeky!!!

 

you knowz it

 

Just started to pore the concrete mix over the water membrane:

 

Can we have a sweepstake on how many cats will leave footprints in it tonight? Every bloody time

 

Looking great matey. Having a warm, dry, spacious garage to work in makes all but the most hateful jobs a whole lot easier.

 

Well after 1 & 1/4 Lorry loads it's in :





EDIT: not having a rear soak-away as you can tell from the picture as the Inspector took one look at all the other garages & seen that their drainpipes were all emptying into the back lane so allowed us the same, but having a deep gravel pit in-between the retaining wall & the garage as a soak-away & will line the outside of the garage walls below ground level with gravel to also act as soak-away because of the water coming down my garden from veranda & steps.

EDIT 2: Damn you had to be right, just found 2 & iv'e never seen a cat around my garden?

Amazing what 7 builders & a spare few hours can do:








Walls should be finished tomorrow along with the RSJ for my Engine Lift .

Looking good!
