    That is an impressive build; looks like you enjoy very nice views.

    I hope you have a nice car to put in there or will all the money be gone and there will be just a lonely lawn mower??

    It looks like there's some superb workmanship involved in your build and I'm sure your patience will be rewarded with a cracking garage.

    (great views as well)

    Thank you for the comments, yes the workmanship is first class and they are all local and know each other so handy if one wants the other to pop by and do something so as they can crack on.
    Views aren’t bad are they, it’s the reason the garage is where it is and only single story with a shallow pitched roof, didn’t want to impact too much on views or sunshine.
    As for what’s going in there, I’ve got my eye on a few toys but will wait until it’s built to decide.

    It's been a couple of months since an update, things have been progressing, albeit slowly for one reason or another, ( people busy, on holiday, changing a few details etc etc ).
    Anyway, roof timbers are now on, builder will be back in the next couple of weeks, ( he's on holiday ), to build up gable ends and stonework between the rafters, then the roof will go on.
    It'a amazing just how much timber has gone into the roof, and I've included a pic of how he's joined the ridge beam together, I thought it was quite clever, but apparently that's how he does it, shame it's going to be covered up.
