Well - We are finally done!! :D :D :D

We started back in Feb and decided we were going to build a new garage and workshop for yours truly. I have posted some pics here of the build process and will post some pics of the workshop kit out in a separate message. I have not detailed any of the garage build but if anyone is interested I have photos so I could.

The main reason it has taken so long is that we live on the side of a valley so the building process has required (for the garage especially) we dig a big hole in the valley side, build the structure, and then put the valley back on top. The workshop is also build into the valley side to keep the front wall in line with the previous shed.

So, here goes.......

My shed / workshop as it was........

A bit of a jump forward in time now, but the garage is now well on the way (in the main foreground) The workshop base went down, and the walls are on the way (three thick at the back, outer two ties together and filled with concrete, inner face lined with w/p membrane and inner cavity course built. Front / side walls simple cavity construction.

To easy the load on my feet I have put a floating floor down. 3/4 marine ply over a 2" foam insulation.

That looks great. you must have been busy with the wheel barrow to move all the rubble? and that Cotswold stone wall below the workshop looks fantastic, did you do that yourself? all in all it looks brilliant. You must be very pleased. :)
 
Very nice :D - just going to read your "the inside" thread (guess you've got this picture-posting mastered now..)
