Default Garage update -The REPTYL enclosure

The photos are running a little behind; we had the roof on 2 weeks ago and the windows in last week.



I'll get a few nicer photos of the garage in a couple of weeks when the builders move all their crap out.

Here's one from the back with the roof almost done.
We also re-did the existing roof and extended the back of one of the bedrooms a few metres.


This is the Gym/studio and office area.

And a couple of new bedrooms down the end to keep the kids happy.


The brickies are here next week to brick up the front of the building.
The builders have now knocked down the wall between the new and the old, and will be redesigning the hall way and stairs over the next couple of weeks to tie it all together.

The Cobra is back home and is housed in a 6X3 gazebo within the garage (just to keep the dust and crap off it).

I've bought a work bench, toolbox and some shelving, but I'm waiting to clean out the builders crap before painting the walls doing the floor and getting some cabinets made.

Fantastic setup, love the garden, can't wait to see more progress. Love the way the new section ties in with the existing. Are you planning to plaster the extension to match the existing house? Have you chosen a colour for the exterior?

Regards

11,500 metres (about 375 big truck loads) just in the front yard alone then maybe another 200 metres here and there.

Haven't pick the colours yet.

Love the house, it must be incredible waking up to those views.

Well done Jason, but I bet it has been hard earned.

Phil

Mate you and the whole street can come over and camp in the extension..

Jason, looks great and makes a big difference from the street.

Hope Judy can get the gym busy to pay for it all now..
