Shelvocke posted:Not currently planning on running power out, our house is old and doesn't have anything tappable our front, so running a cable would wash out the budget. Love garage threads. You may want to rethink power. For an idea on cost and labor, I replaced my line going out to the garage bumping it up to a 50A circuit for a 220V outlet and several more 15 and 20 amp outlets. This required a 6 gauge wire, run was about 45 feet, wire was $2/ft at the time for underground cable. I also added a sub box, but that was donated. Outlets, hardware, and termination equipment comes out to around $5 per 2 outlets, double or triple that if GFCI. You wouldn't need 50A but a single 10 or 12 gauge line would be far far cheaper than my 6 gauge especially if your run is shorter and would support a 20A circuit. Of course, if you can't tap into your power from the front of the house you'll have to figure out some way to get the wire into your box. I would run the cable and terminate it to a single outlet or small sub box even if it's going to up your cost a bit. I can never get enough power outlets, never get enough light.

Yeah at least having something you could plug in when you need it is going to make worlds of difference. It certainly wouldn't be code (UK, I think?) and would be hackey but you could bury a beefy extension cord or run it through pvc or conduit. How deep you would need to bury it would depend on climate.

Reclaimed brick is gonna look great. It also doesn't burn which is great when you're splashing fuel all over like an arsonist (carb work).

Shelvocke posted:I was putting the anchors in the brick today and had the uprights in for alignment .. and realised that it was practically assembled. Neighbour came over and helped with the top beams. Loving the old school construction, that's going to be insanely solid. Is there going to be a veneer of brick over the wood frame?

It's a beauty. Have you considered any stains? I've been using linseed oil on some outdoor projects and really like it.

That really ties it all together. One of the hidden features of old-world construction is security, nobody is going to bust in there.
