No footballing history of their own, so they have to steal Liverpool's.
Double garage here.

You would be surprised by how many people I get saying come on Celtic on the email
I went to Scotland last year great people fantastic roads
ps very jealous of your wood burning stove nothing like a nice fire to keep warm and enjoy a glass of single malt

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!

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.

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!
Cheers,

When thinking outside the box doesn't work any more, it's time to build a new box

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.

16X20 Full to brim, leaky roof, freezing cold & the side door has just fallen of the hinges.
I've had the new roof tiles & door for over two years. Every year it is the same story. I'll do that roof this summer !!??
I will do it this summer though

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!!

Retro RWD is the way forward...........automotive fabrication, car restoration, sheetmetal work, engine conversion
retro car restoration and tuning

Mine just cost me £1100 fitted with ground lock. It is a security grade door for peace of mind.
