The next stage in the process of converting garage to a modelling space is to block off my garage door to eliminate draught etc.
Blocking up a garage door.
I am going to use 100mm blocks and will put damp course in at the bottom and i guess there s no harm in adding another where the existing one is just to be over cautious.
It s currently covered in stone which is pretty solidly set onto the garage.
Blocking up the garage door makes a huge difference in the workshop both in terms of noise and heat insulation.
This will later become one of my main wood storage walls.
We have no intention of changing the use.
However embarrassingly when coming to measure up for materials ive realis.
My plan was to build a stud frame fill with insulation and plaster board both sides.
We have an attached double garage with bedrooms above looking to block up one of the garage doors with brick and add a window and or a door.

We know the footings are good enough as it s a 2 storey building.
It also gives me a really strong wall to hang stuff on.
Eventually i wish to render the outside.
