colr6 Posted October 15, 2019 Report Share Posted October 15, 2019 Due to accumulating so much crap over the years and needing space for the cars and bikes it left me with no working area. So got some plans drawn up to extend one garage and build another. All went well till the building inspector came down to give advice. The spec he required for footings was ridiculous, but you can’t upset these people 🙄 well not till it’s signed off that is 😜 so 24 cubic metres of concrete later the foundations and floors are in. Got the pre cast garage delivered Friday and today was the first dry day we’ve had, so called the boy in and cracked on. 5 hrs later it’s up !! Envisaged big problems as the panels come in at a bit over 100kg each. The 3 weetabix for brekkie paid off! Roof joists on tomorrow more than likely in the rain, but hey ho, us northerners get used to it...lol 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they are going to do that whether I have a carport or a garage so in that respect it wont really make a difference. The nearest roos are at the reservoir behind a fence so they arent a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rally Pack 2000 Posted October 18, 2019 Report Share Posted October 18, 2019 I love the prefab concrete wall panels. I have never seen anything like that only crappy corrugated tin stuff. It seems so much more solid. How do the panels interlock? they seem flat sided from the images? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colr6 Posted October 18, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2019 The panels are bolted together with 3 bolts in each panel, then just seal down the joints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colr6 Posted June 21, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2020 Got the last garage sorted eventually!! Gives me more space for accumulation of crap I have. Got rid of a few bikes to my lads houses, so even more space. One garage for some bikes and the Tina, other garage for the box and the MG plus two escorts and at last one to work in 😁Still got a load of sorting out to do, it’s a wonder the roof ain’t collapsed as there’s nearly a complete escort up there in bits...lol 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
