I've made a HUGE mistake !! | Dream Garage Ep13 | 4K

[@ezraschwartz5201]

For the gym equipment… next time- it is much easier to unpack the machines on the lower level and take the parts up… very, very smart decision to bite the bullet and fix the doors. All in all, this is an example of a successful true passion project, expertly planned and executed. Assumptions on the doors width were based on standard width of garage doors, and the omission the doors thickness - among the thousands of small decisions that has to be made in this project- it is easy to see how it was overlooked. There are no perfect projects, but yours will end up close, and will be a joy for years to come.

Absolutely gutted for you about the doors. That terrible feeling when you realised it wasn’t right, is something many of us have felt at some point in our lives. You’ve made the right the decision to sort it out. Such an important project to get absolutely right. 🤩

I know it will be expensive and annoying but you have made the right decision in increasing the door size. With just a few inches either side of a cars mirror it is really worrying when driving in or reversing out as you can easily catch the wing mirrors especially with today’s modern cars. I did it a couple of times and when I bought a bigger car the first thing I did was to take the door frames off and change the door type which instantly gave me an extra 15 cms of width. I can now go in and out of my garage with no concerns at all.

[@PetrolPed]

Yeah. I’d only need to get it wrong once and that could prove expensive 😬

[@charlessimmons145]

In such a renovation project there are so many decisions to be taken, it’s almost inevitable that a problem will arise somewhere. Wise decision to bite the bullet and fix the issue now.

[@PetrolPed]

Yep 👍

[@mikelodge1957]

Hi Ped the clear opening is always compromised when using doors on hinges the loss of width varies but still catches us out in our construction company, I've been in the construction industry for over 30 years and it's never without issues, no matter how well you plan work on existing buildings 👍

Lovely gym setup (he says, sitting on the sofa). Love the idea of using your gym but wanting powered doors 🤣

I hope so!

[@JamesAnderson-kd4to]

If you are going to the expence and bother of redoing the doors, you need to make them at least eight foot which is a comfortable size for a modern car. They're still going to be very tight even with the extra six inches you're adding. Glad to see at the end of this video you've went big.

[@gsbut]

Exactly. I see a third attempt otherwise.

[@jimcabezola3051]

Thank goodness you CAN modify the doors and apertures to suit larger vehicles! Better to do it now before the wonderful aging process takes hold to give all that lovely wood the "Why...I've been here forever! Where have YOU been living all this time, council member?" look.

So glad you fixed the doors. You would have regretted it every day you used it if you hadn’t. Not surprised, as most houses today are built with garages that are too small as the standard doors date back to Austin A35 and Mini days I think. The last brand-new house I looked at you couldn’t get my Lamborghini Urus in and you could only just get a 911 in. You should have based on American style garages as they are perfect for any car. Great video and great decision.

As someone facing this middle-class problem myself - I noticed your doors in the flooring video and was surprised you hadn't gone at least double + single.

[@HQBProductions]

Hello Peter. My goodness…I wish now that I had tried harder to warn that the doors were too narrow…I had to scrap the 7’ door on my garage but my luck was that it was brickwork either side so I could make the door ( electric panel sectional door) is 3.5m wide and I thank my stars I did that. However…now it looks transformed! Well done for bravery and biting an expensive bullet. For me it has made the whole job so much better…much more as you wanted! Good work on the gym equipment but I was shouting at the screen when you were too close to the ceiling! It all looks GOOD…now some nice wall fittings! Well done Peter…a bump in the road but it has turned out alright! So pleased for you and Hilary wants Darcy as her Guard Dog if she is ever looking for part time work! 😃😃😃😃😃Richard.

You were really lucky the builders were available. In your earlier post I thought the garage doors looked narrow but thought it was just an optical illusion because the building is so wide.Mind you, could’ve saved a fortune and just got two smaller cars 🤣

OMG Ped i feel your pain when there is so much to do it is so easy to get something wrong. As a pet owner you will understand this I ordered and fitted blinds in the office I had the blinds over my patio door to open as the patio door slide but in the living room the doors we use to let the dogs out I did the blinds as a centre slider and it had bugged me for the past 17 years. So minor compared to your problem but al least you can sort it. Heartbreaking. At least you are doing it I have never changed my blind OMG what a cheap bugger LOL

[@LeeAvison]

I'm so glad Pete you got it fixed . I thought from the beginning , How do you get a car through the small doors ?.. All is answered now ❤❤

[@PetrolPed]

👍

[@portfarm]

You could also use a Parliament hinge on those doors, it will give you 2 inches each side.

[@johnh3095]

I would add these on to his new doors as well. In garage door width, more is better!

[@portfarm]

@ yep, it would also make automation easier in the future, as the swing open is much longer. It could be done with rams, but they do take ages to open!

[@philipbellew9645]

The issue will then be fouling on the endstop timber to the cladding.

[@DABroke]

They say that hindsight is a wonderful thing - I know because I used to work for someone who had a degree in it!!! Fair play to you to accept the deficiency and then actually do something to rectify it otherwise it would always annoy you. Also I think the general look of the doors will be improved significantly because the width will match the height better. So well done Pete for biting the bullet now, as the project is looking fantastic and is very worthy of the extra cost to make it right.

[@PetrolPed]

I agree. It is going to look so much better 👍

[@njcdevelopments3765]

It Happens, We’ve all made mistakes, I should have mentioned the thickness of the doors must be considered when using side hinged doors as we’ve had a similar question but realised during forming of the front elevation.

[@PixelVibe42]

A few years ago I went from barn doors on our double garage to armoured roller shutters. First off - they look great as they are customed for a residential application. Secondly - my goodness, just 'loosing' the previous frames (a couple of inches each side and above as you have here Ped) - it made putting the cars in the garage so much easier. A pity you have to have a fairly major revision, but good to accept and solve the problem early! Lovely build BTW!

[@darksideofthelewis]

[@johntrinick712]

If it makes you feel any better, I once built a chicken coop for my chickens. As the weather was bad, I built it in my garage, in the dry, ready to place in the new run. Now this was a luxury chicken coop, complete with double glazed windows that I'd got hold of for free. When it was finished, I sat back with a bottle of beer admiring my work. The following day I went to move the coop to its new location. After much manoeuvring, measuring of coop, and measuring of doors, it was clear it would never leave the garage in one piece!🙄 luckily, my chickens didn't drive a Porsche!😉

[@PetrolPed]

You should probably put mat's under the treadmill, We have a treadmill on second floor on carpet and without the mats it makes a hell of a racket downstairs. Looks really good, I'd suggest for your desk if you use a laptop to get a docking station and dual 4k monitors and a decent chair, Makes a hell of a difference to the ergonomics when your sat at a desk for hours on end. You must be really proud of what you've got at the end of the project. With the Doors, Sometimes this stuff happens. With all the foresight in the world at least it's minor in comparison to structural issues.

Garage looks great. LOVE the interior lighting. 👍 No one has ever built a structure and not wished they’d done something different. Luckily here, you can fix it relatively easily. It’s only money at this point. My only (totally non-solicited 😳) suggestion would be to make the doors as wide as possible. Can they be 3 meters wide? If you have to tear down and reconstruct, you might as well push the envelop as far as possible. Regardless, what an incredible project. A little jealous 😜 but super excited and happy for you Pete. 👍

Fair play to you Ped for recording the modifications including all the mess it has made. I would have been inclined to admit the error AFTER everything had been completed. Superb garage/gym/office I’m not envious in the slightest 😊

[@XXxPOWERSx]

A really good choice would have been doors that slide along the interior walls. What I mean is a door that opens from, for example, right to left and the door then goes along the interior wall on the inside when it opens, it doesn't curl up. It only takes like maybe at most 8 inches from the interior wall and obviously you can't use the walls but it gives you the full size of your opening as useful

Oh Ped, I feel your pain. We have two standard size garages and until we bought a Skoda Enyaq they were fine. We measured it several times and knew it would be tight. However after a while of folding in the mirrors we took the decision to make it wider by a brick and a half. Worth every penny for peace of mind for those scrapes. 2.4m wide now, up and over sectional 👍🏻

[@kevinDG7]

[@PetrolPed]

[@kelsonland6800]

PP, FGS. Though I want an influencer trying to get car makers to stop producing 2.5 tonne 5m x 2m+ road car behemoths, I think building a new garage with doors suitable for 1980s cars or earlier (most but not all) was silly in the extreme. You know (or should) from testing these new behemoths that most are knocking on the door of 2m wide if not wider and now getting close to 5m long. I built a 5 bay 'dream' garage 8 years ago and after much planning, made the doors 3m wide 'just in case' which means my older cars fit easy and even the odd new car (a Taycan loaner for example) is no problem. I used black roller blinds (not sectional), the 77mm slat version retracting into a 30cm square box that contains the motor for lifting them and did not prevent me from adding a 4 post lift. The benefit being easy automation so you don't have to get out in the rain to open them. My barn style garage block also had to fit in with the surroundings, hence the black rollers. The rest of the building looks fantastic so well done on that, just make sure the doors are made as wide as practical because when cars get to 2.2m, you won't want to be struggling with a few cms each side every time to drive one in or out.

It feels like you have been poorly advised by your door manufacturers and/or the building contractors. They should have known the aperture was very tight by the plans. Believe it or not I had something similar and it wasn’t until an architect friend pointed it out during a social visit that we saved ourselves a few thousand pounds. Just thought, what about your nice flooring? It won’t butt up to the skirting!! I have to say though that the quality and classy look of your garage conversion is exceptional. I would be very pleased with the finished product. Really, really pleased for you and not a little envious …..😁

[@PetrolPed]

It was just one of those oversights. I just need a few extra tiles to cut into the new skirting profile 👍

[@nvennard]

When I saw the door openings I thought they were narrow but remembering how small my mum's garage doors are (which can barely fit a Vauxhall Astra) I thought that's just how they do things in the UK. Your old doors look like they might fit a 1960's Mini or Hillman Imp comfortably but not any modern family car. Your new doors will work a treat and look great. My North American double car garage door is 16ft (4.88m) wide.

[@willswomble7274]

Just one more 'problem' : you will have to substantially widen and reinforce every road in the UK and every parking bay marked on all the UK roads due to the ever increasing size and mass of new vehicles! I was about to leave our cat's vet practise yesterday in our Nissan X-trail 2024 when a 'tiny' car pulled in to the next bay; it was an Audi 3 hatchback....

If it helps, when I built my house I drew up the basic plans, my son converted them into a CAD drawing , then they were redrawn by an Architect.

[@fraserloudon167]

Change the hinges to have front hinge mounted to front of garage. Door will then recess as the door opens. Leaving full width of opening. Have the hinge set on front wall and have it so it overlaps the wall by 2 inches on each hinge. When door opens it will leave. 2 inch gap. Nothing expensive just need an iron monger to mate the hinges strong enough to cope with the extra 2 inches of leaverage

This reminds me of when the Belfast City Hospital tower block was built years ago. As with most hospitals, car parking space always seems to be a problem. Well, the new tower block was going to have its own dedicated car park - it was mentioned on the news several times and all seemed good. That is until the job was fully completed. Yes, the car park was definitely there But, someone had forgotten that all the main piping for the hospital was fixed onto the roof of the car park. I was told from reliable sources that an MG Midget just about got in 😂. “Did you measure the doors?” “No, did you?” 😢
