Garage extension in 4 days!
As some of you may know, we moved back down to the East Midlands when I retired a couple of years or so ago. We found a nice old house in a brilliant village, next door but one to a pub (famous for filming the second series of Aufweidesein Pet). What could be better?
Well, the garage was 3cm shorter than a D2 S8! But, within 4 days, at a fairly reasonable cost, it's now 6" longer and will house the '8 (when I clear out all the junk!). The solution? Step 1: build a porch-like frame from 6x6" timbers. Step 2: move the door frame and doors forwards (see photos). I even like the look of it.
