My Garage - From Shed To Man Cave

Discussion in 'Builds & Projects' started by Cream_Revenge, Jan 22, 2015.

  1. So, my garage is a dank, dark mess. Don't get me wrong, going from a 4x8 shed to a 6mx5m garage is a dream and I have been happy as a pig in the proverbial but now the house is nearly finished I'd like to make her a warm, light and secure retreat from the world yet still being functional and practical.

    So stage 1 is to get her dry. The wood for the fascia for the gutters came yesterday and the gutters come today or tomorrow.

    I'm hoping to get her waterproof this summer, then sort any damp or condensation next when I see how well this year's work goes through a winter.

    I have no idea what I'm doing as this is my first crack at something like this so I'm expecting to make mistakes and have to change or redo stuff but that's part of learning and I'm looking forward to it.

    Please feel free to drop me a PM if you have any positive suggestions.

    Peace.

  15. I'm sorry to any readers that find a pair of breasts offensive.
    I like boobies, may be I need help; or may be the world needs a new prospective.
    I'm 48 and three days. I liked boobs when I was 12-13 and never stopped trying to get a look at another pair ever since.
    My missus has a great set and when we are on a nudist beach I'm still trying to look at more.
    Just something wrong with me?
     
  16. I think I'll stick around a while longer - hold that new thread :)
