Making room for the new toy , Garage extension

[TIB3300]

I love the place I live, apart from my man cave

As you can see its only narrow, at only 8ft wide causing access problems

[TIB3300]

So,,,this has been a no car project year for me, while I rectify this problem

I decide to widen the garage, but make it pretty for the wiff

NO this is not it , its just a immage I found on the net and wanted to build

[TIB3300]

May this year

[TIB3300]

I wanted to come out 4ft and 14ft long.

So with the wall out I replace the span with two 5in RSJs bolted and welded together, sat them on a pad stone at each end and on 100 x100 5mm box section at each end. Then sunk them 3ft in the ground with a foot on them concreted them in, then finally bolted the uprights to the existing walls.

Fantastic job, I adopted a similar approach a few years ago.

Great job, might do something similar myself, as, I struggle to get me in, let alone a car.

[TIB3300]

All done, water proof for the winter,gutters are now fitted. So its on to it he interior.


I want to make it all white with plenty of lights

I think I got the desire effect

Thanks Mr

Total build for the outside was £2k, but I did make everything myself to keep the cost down " Yorkshireman"
I now have 12 feet inside wall to wall and with the car only being 5ft 6in plenty of room now

I usually just make do and adapt things, but with this I knew what I wanted, so didn't want to compromise

Interesting approach, not seen anything like that before - looks nice.
