It's old school for a reason


« on: July 28, 2014, 19:00:26 pm »

 After a couple of years of putting up with a single width garage that was full of overspill stuff From our downsizing house move I've started on my garage rebuild today

Didn't get off to a brilliant start as made the school boy error of stepping back onto the cement roofing sheets whilst taking off the ridge tiles and ended up falling 9 ft through the existing garage door and onto the concrete floor. To finish me off one of the ridge tiles,followed me down off the roof and hit me squarely on the of top head leaving me looking like an extra from casualty and with a couple of cracked ribs from the fall.  After a bit of a clean up and twenty minute rest to get my wind back I got on and finished taking the doors, roof and windows out. Think the final result was garage 1 Ron 1  Cheesy

Anyway digger is coming tomorrow so I can get the old walls down and start digging the foundation . Smiley

More updates to come !
