Garage Envy...

You want more photos of the chicks right?

Needs some better cars and some organisation to justify real garage envy, but yep, grateful for some space for things in this place.

I'm going from a "Garage and a half" to "Half a Garage" so I'm already on the lookout for a shed / workshop. I have the space thankfully for a decent size one.

From a security point of view you should sort those emergency release cords out. From outside it's very easy to poke a coat hanger through the gap in the top to hook the cord and let yourself in...

PS This place has a "shotgun" garage, double but not side by side, never realised that was a thing.



I love it!

Noted and addressed - cheers.

That's known as a tandem garage here. Not uncommon. Probably not convenient if you ever want to put 2 cars in.

I was about to say the same.

And "tandem" makes a lot more sense than "shotgun" if you think about it !

Maybe it's pump action, with the cartridges lined in a row?

And “pump action garage” would have sounded like “sex dungeon”?

Anyone used Birkdale? I picked up their leaflet in CostCo yesterday. Do sectional as well as roller doors and front doors to match. 50mm insulated panels.

Bump.

Got a quote at just under £3k for a what looks like a decent spec* double width roller door. Sound about right?

*edit: Seceuroglide Excel

Seems ok, I think I paid £1100 for a small insulated single about 3 or 4 yrs ago.
