Well done on the making of a good Man Hide away.

We will be conducting some James May-style Man-Lab experiments from it.  :grin:

So we may be seeing some exciting new posts coming from you soon then?

Hope so!

Some of my mates call me May, get asked how the new Top Gear is coming along :D

So if you need a stunt double....

Looks good. Is the Rado lurking in there somewhere?

Yep, in the driest, cleanest bit!

Got any of that green oak left?

Apparently we can harvest five cubic metres of the stuff without a permit, per quarter  :shocked:

But the answer is no - we'll probably need more to close off the doors yet.


Well if you ever fell anymore I would definitely be interested in buying some off ya!

Epic build

Wish I was closer

For now I'll have to carry on working a small single garage with barely enough room to fart in.

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

Managed to get a few shots in the fading light today after I cup-brushed back the main door frame and red-oxide painted it:







I then cleared a load of space by the container so I will be able to manhandle the pair of them and swap them over tomorrow, hopefully.

Once that's done the second door will be hung and the sleeper wall for the front to back wall laid.
Just because you're offended doesn't make you right.
