New Bike Garage Nearly Built

Just a quick update on a recent discussion regarding storage for my bike, had a word with the firm employed to rebuild my garden wall and a bit of chat and few brews & burgers later persuaded them to throw me up a new house for my bike, story so far it's going to be 12' x 6' (internal dimensions), persuaded a neighbour (and accomplished iron worker) o make me a door and called in a favour off on of my customers who is throwing in a corrugated steel roof.

I am one happy bunny

yay, good for you, every shiny bike deserves their own bedroom... unfortunately mine has to share hers with a scruffy sr125 lmao

Cool. Coming on quicker than things at our building site.

Nice, Mine is under canvas! And will be for the foreseable future.

very nice mine as a 10x 12 all to her self no 1 or any thing allowed in with her except for the heating to keep her warm in winter month so i can sit in there & look at her & shed a little tear

Well done, not that I'm envious or anything. Mine has to contend with being parked next to a bicycle lock-up, living under a cover and has a grumpy Honda 125 as a friend

Hopefully you'll show us the after pics too

Mine lives out in the open... I feel like I abuse my poor 'Cat :(

Mine has to content its self with a 8'x6' shed. Nothing as luxurious as yours will be.

and I have 2 mountain bikes plus a lawnmower in with her.

Perhaps we should have a 'Cats & their homes' section?

Mines in a 35ft garage
in a 10ftx3ft space at the end cos its full of usefull items that may come in handy one day in other words c#ap

thx for idea

what about full costs?

Thanks Tom with reference to the cost, have you ever heard the saying "it's not what you know but who you know"?

In essence the whole thing has cost me 8 cups of coffee and a beef burger.

Brickwork is finished now and it looks MAHOOSIVE!! Joiner is coming next Wednesday to do the skeleton for the roof then I'm collecting the roof panels (free) from a customer next week.

Then I've just gotta wait for friend 3 to construct the steel door with wood panelling and my electrician friend to power it up.

It could cost me in excess of £60 by the time it's finished but that's just because I've called in a lot of favours. Plus I've done a lot o the leg work myself, digging footings etc but to pay for it all would probably cost in excess of £1500 to do from scratch, I'm really pretty lucky

And where, pray tell, are the updated pics? :lol3:

They're right here picture quality a bit dim but sun in the wrong place . Will take some more in the morning !![You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

There are plenty of people on the forum who live up in Scotland and I'm sure anyone would gladly help you anyway they could but the people helping me with this are just friends of mine, nothing to do with the forum.

I'm sure you've got friends who live near you who you can rely on for help with things. If I lived up there I'd help you but not with building things as
No good at that

Best burger & tea exchange I've ever heard of.
