Very nice. I'm 'lucky' enough to have a double garage but for some bizarre reason the guy that built it decided to block one side and have a single garage door the other making access restricted to one car. That's going to be my project in the spring. New steel and open it up and paint the inside white and seal the floor. We can then start a 'show us your garage' thread!!!!

I'd love a garage I could actually work in, I have enough trouble just getting in and out of the car in mine.

Happy with mine
Would be nice to have it a bit wider but 4m wide will do and 9m long with some kitchen cabinets and and a sink in there works for me. Heating , volted ceiling with 6" of celotex insulation in the roof , twin skin traditional build with 50mm celotex makes it nice and warm

Where I lived growing up we had a double garage at home that was colossal. You could, technically, fit three cars in it across its width and there was storage and work benches at the end.

Instead of the third car, my Dad had a large lathe in the middle for wood turning, etc.

Wish I had that now...!

Edit: it had its own loft space too, which was used for storage, but could have easily accommodated a home office.

It's annoying me thinking about the fact I don't live there anymore now...!

Ditto! I'm happy that I at least have a garage (otherwise I would have no Scoob), but a bit more space would be nice. As would a less awkward approach, as mine is a bit of a sod to turn into!

Here's mine. Not very large, but unquestionably the best decorated room of the house!

No, her performance has been underwhelming when it comes to both interior and exterior decorating. So far her only contribution has been to paint the carpet brown a couple of times and that doesn't fit with the colour scheme at all.

Yes about 2 ' either side.
Not huge but better than the average single garage and most definitely better than working on the car in the rain or snow like when I built it!
