          Thanks Spooks,

          I would love to say I was but unfortunatly not due to time restraints at work, although I have managed to get a day off this week and laid 6 courses at the back.

          I will be doing all of the fit out so plumbing electrics etc

          cheers

                It's coming on well. Looks like you're in the middle of making a James Bondesque reg plate revolver

                  Ha ha, I hadn't noticed that, left overs from private reg transfer, although a James Bond style gun would be good to pop off all of the non M cars that support M badges!!!

                    Another update,

                    Trying out for size



                    Trying to be artistic, but not really working,



                    Then on with the custom made roof trusses,





                    And as of today the gable ends are built up,



                    Next up is to felt and baton the roof then tile and fit eaves and facias.

                    Cheers

                      make sure the chippy and roofer are working together on this , joiners have a habit of banging on the fascia without taking into account the tilt on the bottom tile and then the roofer cant be arsed to put it right and it just never looks good , im sure you already had this in hand though , i just thought i would comment on it because the rest of the work looks top notch

                          Cheers Paul, the same guy will be fitting the roof tiles and theeaves but I'll keep it in mind.

                          Seca, I have been wanting a double garage for years now sad I know but taken me this long to convince the wife.

                            Well I am please to say that my wife and I are now expecting and due on 1st May .
                            Not been on here for ages and I've just read this thread, massive congrats, Ian! Great to see my old Coupe being pampered, too. Really miss hearing it growl. I never did get around to buying a new car, the money's still sat in the bank. What can I say, twins take up every single minute of the day...no time to even bring up Auto Trader.

                            Garage looks awesome, too.

                            Anyway, midnight feed time (not me, the babies). Congrats again!

                              Hi Martin, good to hear you are doing well and the twins are keeping you busy, I now have a daughter who is well and doing a good job at keeping daddy awake too.

                              The garage is pretty much done and I'll update this thread as soon as get two hands free to download some pics of the camera.

                              Cheers
