Hello all,
I have not posted much on the forum lately. I am in the process of moving to a new home that is more suitable for the family and the Elan!
It takes up all of my spare time. We will move to a larger house with a garage early September.
After this I hope i am more often on the forum (and in the garage) than now
The garage in it's initial shape was too small (well, too narrow to be exact), as it was ony 2.75 meters wide (and 7 meters deep which was OK)
For successful and comfortable tinkering i need some width somewhere in the garage so i have the space to work on the wheels / suspension / steering rack / doors etc. 2.75 meters is just not enough for that.
The problem here is that the garage is an integral section of the house and the LH garage side wall is a construction wall for the rest of the home. My better half agreed to enlarge the garage into the current living room and extend it all the way through the house (really!) which is not easy construction wise. In the construction wall is a hidden column that cannot be removed unfortunately
The plan is now to have a steel construction on the open section you see. I want to maximise the living room as well, hence the half round wall as an est ethically pleasant compromise
The length is extended till the end at the cost of the living room as well
This is the old situation:
And this is my current design:
So what do you think so far?
