Garage Rebuild

[00slk]

Not much happening with the kennek extension on the garage, I had a no show on Saturday
Cancelled roofer for this week and the concrete for the following. So still looking the same after they started.

Blimey a little cloud and the workers run for cover

As good to their word............Now to hound the guy to refit the roof next week.

Gripes, I’m embarrassed for a builder I don’t know…
Has there been a tsunami?

It's so hard getting top quality these days Different blocks and some were painted, the poor chap, I made him use my second hand blocks
It was a dog kennel which I decided to keep as it will be handy for the dirty work

The kennel roof should have been refitted, but no, 3 cancelled days so far, next day will be Saturday, not holding my breath.
Seems every time a day is booked, it rains.......No excuse now as Saturday looks sunny and warm, oh that's beach weather.....
Looks like I'll be doing this myself

You can rely on my neighbours, and a quick call to my landscaper and the roof it back on the kennel. The handyman will be back Monday afternoon to modify and attach the roof
Now I have to attach the door on one leg

Is that why your op was for, somewhere attach the door to? Seems a bit drastic

No more at present morgluis, just now waiting for the concrete to be laid in the extension kennel (3 weeks time). Once that is done, white block paint on the walls and floor paint when the concrete is dry enough.

Here it is, September and still no sign of the floor and drive being concreted. Unfortunately my contractor is down a man and his higher paying jobs ar taking priority. Not is all lost though as I have started to put up a few old kitchen cabinets in the kennel. Luckily I decided to paint the block work first.

Looks like a GPZ500S according to the back end.

Spot on Kenny I have had that since I sold the Bandit in 2006.
I bought it at 38k and have now 89k on the clock, haven't use the bike since 2014

Having visited you a couple of weeks ago, I have to say that the garage looks much better in person than it does in the photos. Hard to get an idea of size in photographs.

It's a real dream setup, and lots of room to get around the cars.

Thanks Chris, nice to have you round.
Certainly is fantastic even if still not finished.
Circumstances beyond our control at the moment with saddening news on my contractor's worker.

Last Thursday I was rudely awaken around 9am with the sound of a machine gun fire which did appear very close. quick look out the window and there it was, the small digger with big steel prodder punching holes in the concrete driveway.
Yah, finally looks like we may have a finish in sight after waiting for nearly 5 months for the drive and kennel to be finished.



Well, I guess it was a start
Next week the first stage of the shutters and kennel prep followed up the week after for the concreting....fingers crossed.
I had to take the Missus to work this morning, her cars stuck in the garage

Another pic or two of the workshop interior would not go astray at this point 00SLK
