let the workshop build begin

by rich30mex » Tue Aug 05, 2014 6:37 pm

As some of you no my car is kept out doors in the summer and I am not a happy bunny we do have a garage but it's full of junk etc

Image

So if decided to empty my dad's pockets yet again and build an extention/workshop on the back of the garage for everything to go in this is going to be 3/4 the size again so should house everything and give us space to work in too

This is the garage now

Image

The garage will be extended all the way to the bottom of the garden

Image

Beleave it or not 90% of the stuff you can see came out of that she'd :roll:
