Hey Nat,
I agree, that looks out of place. Seriously......why would they do that??? I would definitely chase this one up.

Thanks 1st timer. .... We ended up putting a workshop in our double garage to make it roughly the same size.

Hi everyone,
Who is building 3 car garage? We were told by our builder that we can't due to council restrictions, but it looks like a few people have got…

Hi 1st timer, To be honest, I can't remember what CDC stands for, but it's the alternative to council. If your build falls within CDC guidelines, you can go…
