Garage and stuff...

Originally, I thought we could fit in 5 garages. Kind of a right angle type affair with 3 garages on one side and 2 on the other. Then, I thought we could do 4, one long building. In fact, we got as far as digging the foundations for a 4 garage building, and then realised we couldn't get the car to turn into it. I was kind of despairing when I found this picture:


and thought that will do.

So the two open bays are going to be for our two family wagons, and the closed bay with the catslide is going to be for the TVR.

The ground works look like this.


This is the drive. The area in front of the shed is where it's going, There'll be another hedge on the left hand side.


This is the first bit of the foundations. In here, this is the 'toe' of the foundations - there's a 400mm x 400mm hole all the way around. There's going to be another 200mm+ on top as a slab, with reinforcing wire in it. That's another of tomorrow's jobs.

The garage will be put up on the last week of August.

Here are some random garden pics:


The pond, with our neighbours garage the other side.


The stables at the bottom of the garden.


The strip of land that we bought that used to have apple trees on it.
