Home Garage re-build (of sorts)

[Bebs]

You should still be able to ‘paint’ a liquid DPM on.
Alternatively, a rigid DPM over the entire floor, then 40-50 mm floor screed over that, effectively levelling the entire garage floor.
You could then also run your roller shutter electricity in the screed neatly and ditch the orange extension cable.

then 40-50 mm floor screed over that

screed alone will not last long in a garage unless you intend to cover it with something, such as porcelain tiling etc, really needs to be concrete over DPM

Finally got new garage doors in. Long way from being finished as still need to extend the side of the garage, new roof, new windows and completely refurbish the inside. New driveway after that. But at least I can get the cars in now with the extra wide doors, nearly impossible previously.
Pics of before and after:

very tidy, are those black or anthracite coloured doors and who's the lazy git relaxing in the chair

 

[Bebs]

RAL 7016 Anthracite. Roof will be the same RAL standing seam Zinc roof to match our house. You’ll notice I have already cladded the front of the garage in new brick slips (again to match our house - pic below)
That lazy git was a brickie helping me demolish the inside and front of the garage.. I was taking the photo!

Looks good

 

[Davidt99]

Looks great. That would be ideal for me, I just need to find a house with a triple garage already built.

 

[LDM 3200]

Looks great! do love the zinc and copper roof systems, Many houses built in the 80's /90's have dated badly.

What a huge difference a few roller doors can make!
Great work there for sure.

our interior flooring guy used "self levelling" stuff , maybe latex or epoxy. next day laid the laminate flooring. Victorian farm so it will never be level but it certainly evened it out and looks waterproof.

Some new artwork!
Lighting tubes not warmed up so it’s dark. Image is pure white background and reds are more vibrant

Been making stud walls in the garage to hide all piping and electrics. Then plaster boarding ceiling and all walls. This week I fitted cabinets, ready for worktop, splash back and sink/tap.
Now need to sort through all tools etc and put everything away in cupboards, shed, throw out, ready for the plasterer to come in.. it’s a work in progress but at least I finally got my own washing machine for car stuff... apparently all my wax/gliptone etc stinks and can’t go in ‘her machine’

Mine is on hold as the LA considered the plot to be of historic interest!!!... didn't bother them when it was a working farm when all types of lean-to's were attached to the Dovecote...seems a timber and stone garage that mimics the building next to it is too much.

B@stards... I bl00dy hate LA’s with a vengeance... you do not want to know how much grief I’ve had with ours... little wannabe policemen!!

I’m halfway through doing mine. Plaster boarded the ceiling and now painting breeze block walls. It’s taking 4/5 coats to cover it propped. Having said that I’ve got a guy coming from London to buy my car on Saturday. It wasn’t really for sale yet but we got chatting on a forum and he wants it. So until I replace it it’s going to be empty.

The **** farmers get away with because it’s agricultural is unbelievable, can’t understand why they seem to be exempt from everything.

All plastering done. As soon as its properly dry I’ll start spraying matt white.

Please tell me you’re at-least semi retired?

I’m starting to feel like the laziest bar-steward alive..

 

[Bebs]

Yes semi-retired. I didn’t plaster it myself either..

What you and Matt get up to in your free time should be private!
