My winter project

[AxlFoley]

I thought I would share some photos of my winter project. I have built an extension on to the front of my garage, so now its a double garrage, but in length rather than width. it also has the benifit of allowing me to drive my bus in and out without removing the roofrack.

This is what it looked like,

Then I started off building a frame, out of 4x2

Bought some doors off ebay.

PVC cladding and doors fitted, the Polycarbonate roof is also on. just in time for the snow to fall.

Today, I finaly finished the cladding, I still need to finish the guttering and fit a lock, but its 99% done.

and here are the doors open, you can see where I have extended them to allow me to drive in and out with the roof rack on.

and the inside lined with ply, for security.

it should make going out a lot easier now, before I had to store my junk in the van so had to empty it every time I took it out of the garage ;(

Unfortunately if I attempted to do the same I think my neighbour would complain about the lack of daylight.... :lol:

Nice work 8)

Did you get approval to build the extension or did it fit in the percentage rule??

 

[AxlFoley]

I did mention I was building it to my neighbour, she was ok about it. it was within the percentage rule so no permission required, I did ask though just incase anyone kicked off about it.
