Nice rotty btw!

Thanks, He is the nicest dog I have ever had! Very well behaved, great with kids! Just like the "Good Dog Carl" books. A clear sealer would look great, buy will have to be reapplied more often to keep the wood from turning grey. A semi-transparent stain will still show the beauty of the wood buy will last longer between applications.

Hey thats looking nice. That will work just fine for you!

**JJ_** · 12-10-2005, 08:08 AM

Ok here`s some updates people.

Got the ceder lined, the roof has been replaced and it was applied using a technique with heat ??? lol.

The ramp is now complete about 9 tons of stones all in were needed to merge everything!!!

Ok thats the first one, the car is about 1.2m wide and has about 0.75m either side plenty to move around and open the doors.

Again as you can see plenty of space at the sides and about 2m at the front since there will be some shelving and I may be working on some projects so need some space up that end.

Enjoy!! I did.

Looking real good! I like the cedar. Remember, you can never have too much lighting!

Do you live next to a church or something? That`s a nice stone building next door.

**JJ_** · 12-10-2005, 08:52 AM

Yeh thats the church, its unfortunately getting refurbished as 3 houses.

I dunno how they will achieve it but hey I have my garage and I can go in and hide while they build, as long as the dust doesnt come in and touch my baby. lol.

I really like how its turning out! Looks like you will have plenty of room to work on your car. Im wondering why you used stones instead of paving a driveway?

**JJ_** · 12-10-2005, 10:12 AM

Its pretty common around here, I dont know anyone in our area with paving! lol.

I think its just inkeeping with the period of the house etc, and paving weathers very quick here to be honest.

Yeh plenty of room to work around the car I can`t wait to properly polish it and give the interior a really good clean.

Wow, that looks huge for a one-car garage. You did things right! Keeps the pics coming!

**JJ_** · 12-11-2005, 04:36 AM

Thanks guys!

Just got the electrical to be run in next, then insulation, guttering, fascias and plasterboard, ceder garage door then paint.

That should just about round it up, ill move all my detailing and tools in at the very end and give you a pic right at the end.

**SilverLexus** · 12-11-2005, 09:25 AM

I love that cedar...so classy. You have lots of room left for detailing supplies and equipment so I bet you are very happy. Keep the pictures coming.

I love the ceder!

**zippymbr** · 12-11-2005, 01:10 PM

Wow that looks great! Are you going to cut out that threashold in the gagage opening? Looks like it would be a pain to drive over it all the time. What knd of stone is that? We do not have anything like that on this side of the pond.
