Default The Librarian's new home. :)

Well not my home, but part of it. The important bit, home for a brace of 8s and my bikes...............................


41ft x 18ft 6in. Bigger foot print than the house!

I'm going to be a bit quiet for a couple of days or so as I move out of my digs and into the house part of the garage! My broadband goes in Monday. I'll be back!

I've visited this garage (with a house attached) and the pictures dont do it justice - its wayyyy bigger than it looks there and there are acres of driveway too, heck we could almost hold a car meet there

Wow, reminds me of the drive in garage / house you used to see in 70's American tv programmes.
