    Yes,we do ;).DH built most of the house so the garage was designed and built by himself-although he thought a triple garage would be big enough....it isn't...he does have lots of kit in it too, lathes etc...
    Insurance is always a pain,am researching multi car policies at the mo, they are all coming in around £1100 though...at the end of the day we can only drive 1 car at a time can't we??
    Yep,I do know a fair amount about cars (for a girl anyway!)..it rubs off...
    Debt-free...and staying that way...
  • Bathroom cleaned and sandwich made. Why do I always want to wee just after I've mopped the bathroom floor.
    On a bit of a mission to tidy and clean so that I can concentrate on working tomorrow.

    Aw can i ask what line of work hes in? Im a builder(time served next summer) and im hoping to get somewhere small with a bit of land so i can extend and make the house how i want it. A triple garage would do me as im sure il have a car and van and the oh a car but you never know what might happen :) Insurance for me on any car is at least £1200. For the BMW i love its about £2.7k, for the second choice its almost £2k.
    Work in progress...Update coming July 2012.

    Rictus-Dh has just retired a couple of weeks back..he was a 747 skipper with BA,although,his real hobby is property..he loves doing up old houses and selling them on...we bought this place in 1990 and it was a right dump,and I really mean that-it was a milking barn shed with a dairy attached ,still knee deep in cow poo ...got it for 163k,had it valued recently at 750k...building is a good business to be in,and if he hadn't flown he'd almost certainly have been a property developer..
    Debt-free...and staying that way...
