Ray
Single...But its mine
Ahh Keltic tools man!! When i saw your post i thought you were a bit closer
The garage i use for the Locost build was originaly built to work on land rovers and has a wood burning stove, tv,radio and even a darkroom in it
Single garage (chilly!) leading into what my mrs calls "the shack" - I call it my workshop! It too is rather chilly....!
24ftx16ft and cold
roll on the nice HOT weather
At home, a single 'integral' garage, open lounge door, one step to the right, open door, ya there...nice and warm too...and dehumidifier on
Away from the house .....we have a big work-shop... fits about 5-6 cars.........
but........ t'is cold over there.....

Next to the house a 1.5x Single garage with a 2 skin insulated roof. Double frosted Glazing, Carpets, heating, lighting, electrics etc.
And to the side of that a Double garage with 2x single doors and lighting etc. and soon to have a new roof over the old (slightly leaky) asbestos
one.
Guess which one we try and spend the most time in!

I have a tandem garage, basically a little longer than two singles end to end. Space round the sides ina squeeze!
i havent got a garage but iam building mine at work so when all the chassis is done its going on my van roof. then back home in the back garden
hopfully for the summer to finish it off. ive gotta pull my finger out and build a garage but the other half said that she wants it to put her merc in
adam
Double length garage, I have the back half, crammed full of chassis, bench and shelves etc. No heat but plenty of light, power and attached to the
house.
Can't complain really, but heating and space for a lathe and some other bits and bobs would be lubberly.
Single & unheated but I managed to build all of my car in / outside it over two years. It goes to prove that you don't need a namby pamby
heated haven to build a car in the winter - just buy some thermals and a wooly hat and get out there!
I'm afraid I don't call mine a garage. It's more a very large shed - 16x8. Workable room to walk round the Sylva with a space at the
end for a bit of a bench.
But. that's the space I have and I'm happy that my car is dry. That's a major achievement for me.

34ft x 20ft and I still struggle for space! It's just too full of kit (Lathe, miller, pillar drill, surface grinder, linisher, bead blaster,
guilotine, bender, band saw, press, rollers, racking, benches, mig, tig, arc, gas welders etc).
I reckon that you just slowly expand to fill whatever space you have.
Agreed!! I have been to Phil's workshop and it is fantastic, as is his work!!!
Mine also suffers from lack of space, 30ft by 15ft but too much in it (changed a lot since this photo too!!

PS looking for a unit, around 2500-3500 sqft in the hinckley area!!!

quite interested by an electric roller shutter. how much does one o them cost? out up and over door's on its last legs i think... the wooden frame has pulled away from the brick wall, got a gap of around a 1/2" all the way round.

Mine just cost me £1100 fitted with ground lock. It is a security grade door for peace of mind.
My garage is half of the estates sale office when it was being built! its a decent size for a single garage but cold!
Single garage, in a block. No power, no lights, bloody cold. It's too far away from the house to run an extension lead or anything to it
................... and ya still built a non-hairdryer powered motor.......
nice one that man
