Garage and new border

Urgh! Looks like a bloody fire engine!

Looking again at the doors... putty all coming apart (fixable), cracks in between joins (fillable maybe), this combined with the bowing / warping, do I want to salvage them?

Looks like expenditure is coming my way afterall.

 

I agree. Have ordered the timber and it's all coming out (not the lintel!). Doors would have looked 'temporary' anyway so back to original plan.
Bit of a bonus, got all the timber pressure treated for free so saved about £25 quid there. Quite looking forward to it now - I loikes me woodwerk!

 

You especially want the ones where I've banged my thumb with a hammer I suppose?

 

OK, I've got wood lol

Just had the timber delivered and I'm well impressed. If you live the in south east and are in the need then have a look at Champion Timer as they are the dogs danglies. Incomparable quality compared to the likes of Wickes

 

Going to have to wait Dave - rain has stopped play!!

 

Well they certainly don't build em like they used to! This is taking forever to wreck apart. Wherever hasn't rotted is solid as a rock! Doors off (very heavy!) but having small break for lunch having left half the uprights in place.
Sweating like a pig (me, not the uprights)...

 

Near end of first day. Not the conventional way of building the wall but working for me. It has a few extra pieces in place now and a big blue tarp covering lower 3/4 mainly to keep the fox out!

 

Christ I ache this morning! Last two uprights to install, noggins and cladding...

Of course, this would be a good time to have remembered the window isn't glazed and I neglected to get the glass quotes I meant to do months ago. Blast!!
