  • That you're meant to be buying a place in Edinburgh?!

    (Seriously, how does this fit in now?)

    I would also want to remove that foliage, and the render.

    I'd also consider whether it would be better to pay a good carpenter to copy the originals.

    Having two garages to store stuff in or resell is not going to make moving more of a problem, rather I think it will make it less of one.

    The render is removing itself, and I agree on the foliage - I can say with confidence that the roof isn't leaking as I've been leaving my car in the left hand garage for some time.

    The point in making the doors would be in making the doors - paying someone else to do it is not what I'm after.

    I would strongly suggest that you don't have the required skillset or toolset to knock up a couple of large wooden doors from scratch.

    Not knocking you but these things cost £££ for a reason. Board and batten shutters or an internal 'barn' door, sure, but there's so much to consider for something like this, from the type and cut of lumber, preparing the wood, measuring and building accurately, hanging them etc, as well as preparing the garage to accept them too.

    I would agree. But I would also point out that one way of acquiring both would be to give it a go, acknowledging that the first go may be a disaster.

    I think it would be fun to give it a go.
