Hi All,
My Wife and I have just welcomed our second child into the family and as we already have a little girl and now a boy our two bedroom house is not going to be big enough for us long term.
At the moment I have a large double concrete sectional garage at the bottom of the garden which is great but in reality when we move we will probably end up with a house with a single garage (although if i'm lucky I might get a double).
Most of the houses in our price range have the garage integral to the house and not enough room to build another one, does this cause a problem? How noisy is it in the house when grinding, hammering and banging etc.?
If the garage has a door into the house does this cause a problem with smells (aerosol paint etc.?).
We have looked at extending the house but its not feasible as its a bungalow with a pyramid shape roof so there isn't much room up there and the foundations are inadequate to take the additional load without significant underpining.
We also can't extend backwards as we have a large conservetory which covers the whole back of the house and taking it down and moving it and then extending the house would be more expensive than moving.
