Had to change the plans a little bit for it to fall under permitted development, put has been approved this morning for a double garage, which I will then build a new workshop and garden shed on the back of so the garage is just for cars.
Now time to get digging!

The changed plans...
Existing single:
Planned double:
I did want a peaked roof, but will settle for this for hassle of not needing planning permission.

Well got up Sat morning to mark it out, start digging foundations but shortly after the heavens opened so called it a day and put car in garage gave it a clean instead.
This where I got to before being soaked:
Had more wonderful Cumbrian weather today, helped GF's mam paper her bedroom, got home and thought fook it...
Here's my garden, I mean pond:
Anyways got started so no going back now...
Absolutely soaked but half dug out, hoping to have it dug out this week and then will have to keep fingers crossed for some decent weather, to get some concrete poured.
Supplies arrived, took some moving down the drive. Finishing foundations tomorrow need to cut the tarmac and dig out underneath whatever is there. Then hopefully get the concrete mixed and poured one evening after work.

Almost finished, 400mm / 16" wide trench all way round now apart from front, need to cut bit more tarmac away tomorrow night after work, then empty the trench, level it off as best I can then mix concrete.
More highly unexciting pictures of a hole I've dug in my garden

Passed as "Permitted Development" Nath, once I scrapped the peaked roof.

This morning was supposed to be the day for mixing concrete to pour foundations....
Woke up went outside and seen this:
Still raining pretty heavy now so even if I empty it with a few buckets, will be full again in no time!
It's bloody August, where is the sun?!

Deeper and wider than it looks, there is a fair amount of water in that corner!

Well decided bollocks to it, emptied it out with a bucket, mixer fired up and concrete is now in and sun is sneaking out to help it dry.
3 stepped levels of concrete so it keeps a decent depth the whole way through the trench.
Will stick a photo up later when water starts clearing from top.

Just need to set now, it's warm and windy so should help things along.
If you look closely, can see the three different levels, these were put in to maximise depth, without having to dig stupidly deep.
First few courses of blocks will be laid flat to further spread the weight.
Hopefully get a few laid after work this week all being well.
