You will pretty much need the drive redoing to sort the slope out, from scratch as well if there's not enough stone down where it needs lowering. ________________________________________ andrew315rawson@live.co.ukMoonstone phase 7 gti6 My Project thread: http://www.306gti6.com/forum/showthread.php?id=119992&page=1 |

Well a little bit has happened, with all the bad weather the builders have had other jobs to do which we're all in doors, it was raining this morning so I was surprised to see them pulle up but they did and they seem to have cracked on, when I say them it's just one builder and I imagine he is in his sixties.Today we have got a part garage wall starting to take form, I insisted on this as we need to have the gas and electric metres moved and with the gas and electric board due round any day I thought it was best they had somewhere to go. Here's what we have today. Day 10   As you can see we have decided on blue bricks at the bottom (damp course) and we are having the rest rendered, we chose this as its in keeping with the street and to be fair look a lot better than the original bricks used on the rest of the house. Well as I type this out its p**sing it down outside so who knows if the builder will turn up in the morning??

Day 11Well we had the building inspector out today and she (yes she) was not happy that the new drainage pipes were covered up and they couldn't check them, lucky I had photos of these, one down, the other was the fact the garage wall at the far end had non insulated bricks used and this is a no no. Well that wall came down and was re built, what we got today was this-  Really starting to take shape now, bad news is I have to pay the second installment tomorrow.

I did wonder what you was on about, I have had it done like this so that I can still use the rest of the drive way without blocking the entrance to the garage. Should still be able to comfortably park five cars and still get in and out the garage. I am thinking of having the whole driveway re done in the textured stone style concrete, had it on my last drive and that's been done ten years and is still looking nice. davewagon wrote: I cannot see how you're going to get three cars in there? Other than that looks awesome, good progress. Starting to think the same now, should get two in there and a work space area, bloody garages are never big enough, it's her fault, she wanted a study and a utility.

Out of interest Carl what are you planning on doing with the floor? Leaving it as concrete, painting it or going with some kind of rubber/plastic stuff? When I was looking at redoing mine I never came to a conclusion on what was best. ________________________________________ Membership expiring soon, get in contact on our new little forum project. |

I will have the floor and the lower sides of the wall tiled with industrial tiles, i have them in my other garage and they are heavy duty and clean up easily, plus they look smart, i may go for the dark ones this time though.

Ooh, very nice, couldn't do tiles in mine as the floor was nowhere near level enough.Wouldn't lighter tiles make it easier when working under cars though, as they'd help reflect the light up? Or are you not really planning on using it for crawling around under them? ________________________________________ Membership expiring soon, get in contact on our new little forum project. |

Bikes that's a bit of a joke, to be fair I love my bike but Jesus, last Wednesday the weather was great I went out and had a great hour or so hooning about, woke up Thursday and got literally p**s wet though going to work, it was horrendous. We seem to have ok ish weather in the day at work but never when I have the free time to go out on it.
