Good advice, my local council engineer approves 'any' improvements on 'any'
property in the local government area. I just had a new garage put up to
replace the ancient structure that came with the house when I bought it 15
years ago.
The garage I 'wanted' to put up was 45 feet long and 20 feet wide, the local
government By-Laws limited the maximum size for a suburban quarter acre
block to 40 feet long 20 feet wide and 9 feet high [ at the point where the
roof meets the top of the side wall ] so that's what I had to have as a
maximum size. [The peak of the roof is three feet higher than the top of the
wall.]
It may be a tad smaller than I wished for, but it's bloody beautifull 8^)
The 'Collectable' MGB-LE is probably on edge waiting for the moment it can
mark it's territory on the 'new' pristine concrete floor 8^)
Two sky lights at the back, three double fluorescent lights and one single
over the work bench area, plenty of power points--sigh--for me this is as
good as it gets.
