What a tidy trench they dig! :shock: ...

Apparently I have soil perfect for digging foundations, not to clay-y, so not too hard, but it sticks to itself, so doesn't fall back in.

And then just today concrete went in! :D ...

It's coming on quickly now :D

Lovely foundations. It seems almost a shame to put a garage on top of them.





NOT. :lol:

Bloody hell Ive just had a look at what I can do and I'll prob go 20ft deep and 17ft wide as a single but with a double door on, enough space to have the doors fully open and 6ft in front of the car.

Nice! :) I'll be decking off of the rear extension when that's done, but probably only go 8m wide by 2 or 3m deep, so you must have a pretty big garden to!
