Lovely that 8) :mrgreen:
Trouble with mine is it has the height has the width but lacks the lenghth by 6 inches :( story of my life that. :lol:
 
Good times :) A garage, or space for one, is top of my list when we move house. In a council garage at the mo and it just squeezes in. Got to have a good garage :)
 
Cheers guys :D been wanting a garage for years :D will make a change from having to use my dads garage :lol:




And I've got it so there's room for a project in the future :msn4:
 
well highly interesting day......................

girls were out and me and the boy fancied a cruise in the bus

so in goes his car seat and then him strapped in then i locked his door (hes only 2 there aint child locks and he opened the door at some traffic lights last year )

then i went round to my door..............................................................


in goes the key, i turn, then thers a strange noise the key goes right round and gets stuck :shock: bugger

queue me spending 20 mins convincing the boy (hes 2) to take off his seat belt (something we drill in to him to never do himself), he thinks its bloody hillarious.................


so after hes out tell him to unlock the door, which he cant do (68 bay with little door lock pins), so now hes stressing abit (im climbing the bloody walls by now).... so over to plan b................

"niall can you wind down the window :D "....hmmmm not as easy as it sounds trying to show a 2 year old how to wind the handle from the other side of the glass (hes used to the electric windows in the daily)


so after about another 10 min the windows down and im in..............

thank fooook for that :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

time to strip down the lock to get my key back

How was the awning?? ;)


cracking weekend :D

the awning was ace, cant believe the amount of space ive got in there, in fact some how it ended up as everyones HQ lol :lol:

it was the first time id attached it to the van and i did notice its a bit dodgy with the sliding door, open it quick and fully and it will catch and rip the apron :?
 
After the week from hell digging and sorting the final paperwork with starting the garagefor my bay, this weeks hols couldn't have come at a better time, real shame I'm not down in my bay though but I'm waiting to have my new engine before I do the real long distance hauls so the daily it is :-( :cry:

But down in perranporth the weathers good :D

(and the bonus is I'm only 5 mins away from the rattlers cider farm)

Mot day .......











And she passed, yay

Only a couple of advisories :D

The last 2 brake pipes to be replaced are looking tired,

And one of the gators on a ball joint isn't split but is "nearly" :roll:

Oh and he said the hand brake could do with adjusting so out came a 10mm spanner and I did it there and then.
