Building a new Car Garage for Pagoda (and other!)storage

[JamesL]

Could you put a bed in the caboose for me too. Near the beer fridge will be fine. Thanks

Hi Garry and Kate -

How is your garage and caboose project coming along?

[Garry]

Mike,


The Caboose is in and ready for a repaint and the garage is built but at the moment i am no able to get cars to it as the main house is still under construction and it’s full building material and also very muddy. The driveways have not been done.  Maybe at the end of May is the handover date.

That's coming along very nicely!  I like the natural light in the garage bay.

Reading the thread, it looks exciting but what really struck me was...

Here you are practically on the other side of the World and you have the same issues/struggles that many of us have with regulatory bodies - Trustees, Planning Departments, Councils, Zoning Boards etc.

Actually made me feel good that I'm not alone

The really sad part of this build is that at the end of the garage build, i had to get an arborists report on the large tree that the garage was built specifically around.

It failed the report and now has to be removed but before i can do that i have to apply to the local council to get a permit to take down and replace with another tree.  To do that i have to formally get a letter from each neighbour that they do not object.  PC gone mad., oh and pay $200 for the permit to lop the tree.

Garry Congratulations on getting approval. Once they have come ,inspected and signed off that’s when you can make those final modifications. This will be a life changer for you and will allow you to get the Pagoda another companion. Can’t wait for this Crisis to be over so we can come over and celebrate it with you.
Be safe and stay indoors

See you on the other side

You call that a garage? I would call it a museum. Nice enough to charge admission.

Looks fabulous, Garry    Top notch.
I look forward to sit with you in there with a whiskey and admire your car gems!
Once this rollercoaster that our World is in has settled...

How do you get your car to that place? I don't see any traces on the image. Or it's just in the building process and you will make a path afterwards? If it's so, then I can understand it, because I only see the garage and now space for driving the car in it. I am a lover of carports more, because I've got a few cars, and there is no space for all of them in the garage. It's cool that the guys from carports managed to build one for me in just a few days, I didn't expect to be so fast and qualitative.
