Nice garage whitter, but iirc so is the rest of the house

I've recently done more work to my garage, started off as a single in the basement but is now a 3 car garage underneath the whole house.


sounds awesome mate, get some pics up!

Will build a slightly wider copy at this house in the next 2 years or so hopefully. It currently has a 1.5sized garage that is an utterly stupid design.





if you dont mind me asking what was the cost to build this?

Golf fits in ok, wouldnt get anything else bigger in unless I did away with the stuff I have at the back. Really need to get a garden shed so can get rid of mowers and other stuff that I never use / dont need to be at hand.

Ideally id love to get a small bit of land or spare space at the farm from my Dad and build a double garage to have as a workshop for myself without being in anyones way with using the main shed that the lorries use

It was a big garage!

6m x 7.5m I think, head height for 4 poster ramp, peaked slate roof, 15ft electric roller door.

The architect, structural calcs, planning and warrants are bloody expensive too. The 4m roller door was about £1500 too i think. Something like 40T of soil/rubble was excavated, a boundry wall underpinned.

The steepest quote was for over £90k, and the majority for over £40k. Aberdeen is crazy! There is lots of money about and builders see it as their right to fleece you. The builders I used were from Dundee area... 10k+ cheaper and travelled!





beast



We sold this garage just after building ours... got 13k for it!

Picture of car in with those shelves there?

Nice space though, i'd probably just have it as a workshop rather than a garage to put the car in.

That bit at the left really helps. Can park tight to the right and loads of space to work.
