When we bought our place in Spain 11 years ago, the underbuild garage was one of the things that persuaded me to buy. We saw a few show houses with tiled underbuilds and that's what I fancied doing with mine but it's taken me a few years to get around to it.
Since November last year, though, I've been on my hands and knees most days tiling all around the outside of the house and - as if that wasn't enough - I then pressed on to do the garage. Outside was about 100 sq mtrs, the garage a mere 80 sq mtrs. ;)
Anyhow, job finished this afternoon - at last! :D

Congrats mike, it is well deserved considering the happiness you bring to all your fellow foccers fitting ivans kits aroung the globe.

I'd kill for a nice big well lit bench like that. And, oo, you've got a compressor. Now I'm really jealous!

"Pimp my garage" ... nice one, Luke :lol
Room for more bikes? Hmmm, don't give me ideas ... ;)
-
You lucky bastard...
-
A home fit for some fazers. good job sir.
-
Looking good Mike nice job well done, all you have to do now is keep it like it. :)
-
very nice :b
-
And there's enough room for me to wheel mine round from next door to get my new tyres fitted when they arrive :lol . Having seen the tiling for myself, both outside and down in the garage, I can confirm it's a top notch job all round. Good choice of tiles by the way.....not jealous of the underbuild at all!!
-
No reason to be jealous, mate ... you have visitors' rights and the benefit of the works discount, after all. ;) :lol
-
indeed a very nice job mike. I have to say though I have seen those tiles an awful lot over the years in spain !They must get through millions of the buggers. :lol
Has construction industry rejuvenated at all over where you are m8 ? It was very dire....
-
You'll have seen similar, Jon, but I've not seen these anywhere else over here since we arrived over 9 years ago. And you won't be seeing them laid new, either, as the manufacturer changed the pattern and colour completely just recently. Fortunately I was able to finish the garage with a couple of sq mtrs to spare. :)
The construction industry is still in recession overall but there's some new builds going up where we live and these are selling, surprisingly, considering the glut of new-built, not-yet-occupied holiday homes on the market and the retreating expats flogging off their older places at bargain-basement prices.
Think I'll just stay where I am for now ... ;) :lol
Cheers, mate!
Mike
