New man cave

[gary4130]

Was thinking the same thing 
Would be worried if my misses was parking in that space

Jesus that volvo only just fits mate 

Don't be daft Carl, there's at least 20mm spare after the tow-bar

The missus uses the middle one that's 1.1m bigger, even though her car is smaller.... it's just safer that way

Then your mates find out you have a bit of room

Last update from me as the sun was out so I took a pic of the (almost) finished item. I can't render it until I've finished the house as it's coloured render so needs to be done at the same time, but to say I'm pleased with it is an understatement

Tidy that Spen... is that your man cave above the garage ?

[Spen69]

Nick, the garage itself is the man-cave mate. Behind the garages there's a big room we've fitted a kitchen & lounge into with a few bedrooms and bathroom above them which is where we're currently living as we can't live in the original house while I practically demolish it and re-build it over the next 12 months 

There is a second loft above the bedrooms which is the kid-cave. Currently it's got all their Lego and other toys up there but they love it as it has a loft-ladder access and is carpeted & heated up there

Awesome work fella,great job looks very nice

If it were me I'd flog the house and move into the garage!    Its better than some houses I've owned lol

Instead of doing something sensible like finishing half-built bikes, I have spent the past week clearing out the big barn-like shed attached to our house. On the plus side, that meant finally doing something about bike storage! I gave up on the idea of hanging bikes from the rafters and instead made a bike stand from old wood lying about the place. I won't win any carpentry awards but at least it works!

Forgot about this thread for a bit Mick! This lockdown has meant I've been getting around to finishing the kids/wife cave in the garden so they stay out of the garage 

Insulation is now in and a dozen sheets of ply arrive tomorrow to get the inside finished for them to use over summer

Ah, insulation! I'd forgotten about that stuff. Ventilation is king over here, certainly with older Japanese houses, which explains why I'm sat here in front of a kerosene stove, wearing multiple layers of clothing plus a hat and gloves! & that's in the kitchen!

Nice cave/garage. Looks bigger than the row of houses I live in 😂

It will be when it's finished Danny, but I'm out of cash right now so we're living in the bit behind the garage and above it, so about 90m2 of space. Fine for a family of four for a bit, but couped up during lockdown it's a bit small
