The big test

One of the critical design issues since the start of the project has been the height of the garage. The brief is undisputed: create sufficient clearance height for a large 4x4 vehicle to enter the garage without slicing off the roof - of either the car or garage! Yesterday morning, this was put to the test.

Reversing the Jeep down a very steep, muddy slope, still to be graded and levelled at the entry from the main road - and with JCB on stand-by to pull us out - there was a moment of deep contemplation...

The great news is that the garage easily delivers to brief. Now the challenge is to level the rest of the driveway to ensure a safe exit onto the public road.
