I can't really do that cos the brick work would need to match the house. Rendered garage against brick house would look odd...

Another quick ne guys, looks like I will have a single skin garage, no space for anything more. How would I go about damp proffing this so the garage stays dry and doesn't remain damp, as I know bricks are slightly porous. Someone has suggested rendering the inside?
