I agree. They are a pain in the proverbial. I need to cover a 4.3m gap.

Never understood why people build pokey arsed garages like that eh. There was one at our house when we bought it. Accidentally backed over it with the tractor.

Mines the same size. Pain on the ass ay

I'm still shocked that ply is available on the coast

Minis Morries Austins and Standards were not that big back in the day when most of em were built.

Well IPL at Gladstone make enough of it.

Did some further re-arranging. Now it's usable (I can sit on my garage couch and access tools) and I can park inside. Still tight. Other plans incoming

Have you got a beer fridge yet?

The venison and beer fridge in the laundry does the job

That is quite a long way to go to get a beer, maybe 20 or 30 metres..

Guaranteed to slow any project down by several minutes

Why don't you cut another door where your truck door lines up with the wall once your packed in the garage

This is another only semi-car-related post.

I built a lean-to along the side of the garage last weekend, to put bikes/kayaks/firewood etc under. I got a heap of free aluminium cladding off a friend that reroofed his house so it cost next to nothing to put together.





Then this week/weekend I built a garden shed with the leftover sheets - 1.2x2.7m to fit in a space around the back of my house on the shady side.

Floor in action


Starting cladding


Finished (ish - I need to get some kind of flashing on the corners but it's raining today and it's too much effort)


And now I have much more space in the garage! (That kayak is going out under the lean-to when it stops raining and the other stuff in front of the couch is also only temporarily there)


Feels good to have more garage space, and to be making use of bits of the section I wasn't using before that were pretty much just growing weeds. I can get the Cruiser right into the garage easily now with a bit of space on each side, so I have space to do some work at least. So, stay tuned on that front..
