Alright Hux...

I will, I promise :D


BTW - where you want it presented to? Utility room?



We have in fact got a floor laid :D Just needs to dry. Fortunately lastnight/today was warm enough but snowing now...

Pics soon :D

Hux says 'that will be fine' ;)



of course, I wouldn't believe a word he says :rolleyes: :norty:

Puff - if you need a door kept off the floor, stay in touch with HC :D

Where's an update Puff????

Nice looking bricks ;)
Good luck with the project.

Lokks good Puff... it's so good when you get past the digging stage with thsese jobs innit..... it's all 'up' now!!!

But, I hear you ask, that was a while back...

Yes - sorry - mea culpa :( I've not been too active with the camera as I generally leave @ sparrows croak & return after dark + been away for a few days in Ireland...

Well, came back this evening to find that we now have got roof trusses on :D We'd left with walls built. Clambered up the ladder to check out the space & it's gonna be good. The garage area is also suitably large :D

I WILL GET SOME MORE PICS UP SOON - PROMISE


In the meantime, have a look at the below for where my next project lies - outline planning permission, just not in the right place :rolleyes: but the pics were taken today from where its going to be :D

Looks idylic mate... i love southern ireland... there are veiws that that all over the place!!!

except that bit of Southern Ireland is more Northern than most of Northern Ireland - Puff - can't wait for the invite to park the motorhome on the pitch and enjoy the views :D

Must be Donegal then..... pretty nice up there too!!

Malin Head to be precise :D

OK - so walking out this morning, this is the current state of build & yes I am sorry for not having kept everyone up to date on what's been happening...

:cool:

Why two holes in your single garage ???

;)

David

Who said anything about it being single? :confused:

looks a biggun - about 6.4m internally?

looks quite high too - any reason for having so many brick courses above the doors?

Um - not that I am aware of... All I specified was 7m x 7m (so guess you're about spot on) + as much of a space above as possible as a studio/room. It should end up 5.8m high. It might be a "proportional" thing?

I'm hoping that he'll leave some nice openings for birds to nest as well :)

is there a stair to go in too then?

Makes a pleasant change to see a garage being built from bricks rather than breezeblocks :thumb:

What flooring and lighting are you going for in the garage space?

Oh yes - stairs to go in :) Fully insulated etc blah

Bricks (thanks you know who :D ;) ) are a pre-requiste to blend in with house...

Lighting - whats recommended?

Electric ones work quite well I hear.

:rolleyes:

The reason is because of the stair.

1) There has to be headroom of 2m at the last step up

2) There has to be a petrol trap at the bottom of the stair made of brick

Lighting - whats recommended?

As per telephone conversation :p :rolleyes:

Also as a gentle reminder, Cat 5 cables for cctv,Screened Alarm cables (if you can find it) :p

I can't :confused:

I *think* theres some at the office...

Do I need 1 Cat5 per Cam?

I'm using 15mm flexible waterpipe as conduit.



I am absolutely bushed - been digging the trench for the electric cable and most of the drive consists of bricks and flints under a layer of gravel :rolleyes: Just got about 7m of grass/earth to dig up for the last bit. Trenches for Cat5 & alarm will be easier :D

Puff

I have 4 x Dual 6ft in my double garage (5.25x5.25) and am very happy with them.

Units bought on-line from www.qvsdirect.co.uk. Tubes bought locally.

White emulsion everywhere helps no end as well. Although I dont have a room above - the ceiling is plasterboarded (not sure why) - Painting that white seemed to double the light.

PTMW..I was joking.. single garage etc :D

you know you 'shouldnt' use water pipe as conduit! ;) :D

15mm is pretty small for any more than 2x cat5 and one alarm too!

I'd use something larger and thread a rope for spare..:D

Armoured cable for power needs to be 450mm deep iirc..and then cable tape a little higher than the cable.

Well, having threaded 40m of the bloody stuff, then buried it underground, its too bloody late :D

Note to self - don't buy 15m rolls as they are fecking hard to thread :rolleyes:

2x Cat5 for data comms to/from house



16mm armoured cable, another 30m of, buried and ready to connect up to summat :D


Hux - not done your run yet, that can wait a while but the other stuff needed to get down 'cos of grass being seeded etc.

If not why not !!!! :p

As long as it goes into the garage and the house under ground some time ?

If It causes brain strain call me :D :p
