mark bevan Posted April 11, 2015 Author Share Posted April 11, 2015 Under normal circumstances your right of course. Though with motorbikes filling the garage and Sundays out on one with the lads, even I can only be so selfish! so the SC is not used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaryH Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 Mark, holidays are only temporary, a few photo's and hopefully some pleasant memories; a Porsche is for life! It injects purpose and soul into life and moves one onto a higher plane.........please don't consider ever selling to fund .......A HOLIDAY??!, I've just acquired some reinforcing mesh for my planned additional garage as I've outgrown the present one, bigger & higher to accommodate a scissor lift........priorities Mark, priorities! Regards, David. Ordinarily you'd be right but I'm not sure you're aware of Mark's wife's condition David? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenC Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 What's the next step with the base Mark? Are you planning to sink a lift into that space or fill it as a solid slab? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALEX P Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 I'm guessing that's the garage on the left hand side so is the plan to extend it out over the new base? Looks like a good days work Mark - In Mrs.P's eyes my car is just an extension to the house so I may have to copy you & go into the construction business in the future Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark bevan Posted April 12, 2015 Author Share Posted April 12, 2015 The left of the picture is the back of the concrete sectional garage. I intend to cut this down and place to the right on top of the dwarf wall I have cast. The two sides will be built in brick. The small existing dwarf wall, to the left, will have to be removed. The roof will require 50/50mm angle welded into trusses to match the existing clad with clear sheets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark bevan Posted August 22, 2015 Author Share Posted August 22, 2015 Finally moved in to the garage extension - well pleased with the extra space and light. I have also sorted the oil leak - thinking it was the crank seal, flywheel end - found it to be the crush washer to the oil pressure switch. Underneath is now dry! Changed the oil again and is MOT'd and is now run-in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenC Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 (edited) Great to have the extra space - looks nice and light in there as well, good idea to go for clear sheets as the roof. Edited August 22, 2015 by BenC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark bevan Posted August 22, 2015 Author Share Posted August 22, 2015 Certainly better than asbestos cement sheets! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
