That's the stuff. So easy to work with.

Plenty of other brands of that kind of stuff too. Celotex etc.

Yeah, my extension has got plenty of Celotex in it. Sadly no spare though. I wouldn't put any of the fiberous stuff in there, nothing that would hold moisture. 8'x4' 25mm thick sheets of Celotex are about £13, so considering that's the expensive stuff it shouldn't break the bank to do the whole thing properly.

Or you can just use expanded polystyrene boards, which are even cheaper and adequate for that?

Yeah, I had thought to use the polystyrene boards removed from lean-to at work. There's more than enough, but I'm not sure whether they're going to be re-used (as the lean-to's been modified, but work on it has halted).

After seeing your plans, which were awesome, I was curious, did you ever finish it up? I would love to see how it came out.

Cheers ...

Simple answer to that... No

I have a mountain of rubble to break down to turn into hardcore which will be used for the driveway up to the garage first. I spoke to a chap last week who can provide his services along with a colleague, a digger and a crusher to get that done, so that will probably be in the summer. Then I need to concentrate on making the garden safe to play in so my nearly 5 and 2 year old can actually enjoy it before they're teenagers

I'll be in a position to get my house (Which has and is undergoing serious improvements) revalued and remortgaged soon, so I'm going to see if I can borrow extra to get the garage done by professionals just to get it done asap

So yeah... No

get a group of mates in, that are in the trade to get it sorted? That's what I do on my house. I swop my trade with another trade. Save some pennies

I've got an electrician mate, a plumber mate, a plasterer mate and a window fitter mate. I've used all of them, but I don't have a generic builder mate sadly.

Well ... to be honest, with a young family and the never ending projects that never seem to come up, it's no wonder that it hasn't come together yet. I personally hope that it does come together for you and am anxious to see the progress when it does get started. Good luck ...
