The condensation could be dripping from the metal roof? i had this on a previous garage unil i insulated it. My current garage has been done the same as you're wanting to do WALLS - wooden batons fixed to the joint bolts, insulation inbetween (used the cheap poly stuff - wish i'd used...

You can buy insulation sheets, cut them to size and stick them to the garage door using spray glue and tape - i did this as the door was very cold and full of condensation before

Doesn't seem very secure - most door come with at least 4 point locking (top and bottom corners)

i fitted Kingspan to my garage roof fixed to 2x1 battons and taped along the seams with duck tape - looks neat and felt warmer afterwards I also fitted some insulation foil to the metal doors

The initial idea was to have a small wall built alongside and paving flags on top, this would cost too much so i thought sleepers as i could "probably" manage this myself, it would cost less (no labour) and would blend in with the hedges, tree, lawn

yes they'll be grateful for free metal - usually a listing in your local paper or phone book

sorry should have mentioned the full use the sleepers are to be 3 or 4 high so they're just under level height with the concrete base of the garage. I would cut some down and lay them accross the trench at the same height as supports and fit some decking on top for walking on (hope this...

The back garden is mainly grass and the section where i want to lay sleepers gets waterlogged in heavy rain. I believe under the lawn is clay and even a tree in the middle doesn't soak up the water. I'm wanting to build a narrow walkway alongside the garage to the side door out of sleepers...

our local council did this for free (a few years ago) - this was Kirklees so yours might charge (worth looking on their website/ phoning them)

Are you sure it's asbestos? On our old garage we thought the roof sheets were asbestos so called the council who came out and took a sample to test - it came back as cement based so it was ok to remove and skip

I wish my garage had a pit and a high roof. What i did with mine 1. painted all walls with brilliant white masonary paint 2. painted floor with grey epoxy paint 3. fitted batons to roof braces and attached kingspan insulation 4. fitted batons to walls and attached moisture resistant...

Well after reading these replies i've removed the hard wiring to the socket and refitted the plug which now sit in the plug hole as intended. The extension is attached to the wall out of the way and i'm trying to get in touch with an electrician to come and fit some extra sockets properly...

I didn't think about needing a fused extension when i was looking - so if i buy another with a built in 13a fuse i can wire it in like i have done with this unfused 1? Many thanks for the advice :D

This is the extension i have http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/321070176762?_trksid=p2060778.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

oh - is there anyway i could add an inline fuse to keep it connected from the back?

I've fitted an extension with 4 outlets and wired it into the plug socket from the back instead of using the plug on the end of the cable into the front of the socket - is this ok? The sockets are in the garage which has it's own fuse box

I had a new sectional detached garage built a couple of years ago and decided to board the inside out. I used kingspan insulation on the roof, insulation sheeting on the insides of the metal doors and fitted moisture resistant chipboard on the walls. This looked great but not there are signs...

I've had 2 - a 2001my and a facelift 2007my The 2001 common problems were - Gearbox - Midlands gearboxes notorious for going wrong so budget for a recon as a precaution Airbag warning lights - sliding front seats stretches the cable underneath causing the warning light to come on, BMW can...

I lined the garage with moisture resistant chipboard flooring a couple of years ago (with foam insulation behind) and now want to paint it white to reflect more light. Can i paint this or will i have to relign the wall? i was thinking of fixing 8-10mm hardwood, etc on top if needed but would...

Well i'm not sure if gloss would be best - thinking maybe a matt emulsion? Got to be white for light reflecting as i detail cars in there so need light pic of garage
