| Before | Before the old shed was demolished |
| WE01 | The old shed demolished, and trying the car for size in the back garden |
| WE02 | With the help of Charlie, the hired minidigger, my friends the Duncan family and a couple of skips, the foundations were dug |
| WE03 | I built the formwork, and then broke up the bricks from the old shed for hardcore |
| WE04 | Laying the concrete foundations was HARD WORK. I am indebted to all the friends and neighbours who saved the day when I was exhausted. |
| WE05 | Chris and I set out the garage and lay the first few blocks |
| WE06 | My trailer worked hard fetching concrete blocks as I built the walls |
| WE07 | Walls are up to the height of the window |
| WE08 | Impromptu access platforms (Health and Safety look away - it got worse!) to help build at height |
| WE09 | Not quite high enough yet, but the window frame is in. |
| WE10 | Steel roof beams have arrived. The lintel is over the window. Walls are finally finished! |
| WE11 | Once again, my friends helped out. This time it was lifting the two 110kg beams onto the walls. |
| WE12 | Chris and I fabricated the roof, while Grace took photos and made tea. At the end of each day we tried our Land-Rovers for size. |
| WE13 | The main doors are half finished and hung. Soon the fence can go! |
| WE14 | The main doors are finished, painted with old engine oil, and the fence has gone! |
| WE15 | The doors facing the house are up now. I've almost finished painting the outside. |
| WE16 | After a few more weekends work, I've painted the inside, wired the lights and and electrics and made workbenches. |
