Thank you to everyone for your words of support.

I'm happy to say I bought someone's old garage

Now I need to pull it down and set it up at home.
Anyone happy to help with that, let me know

Good one Joe.

I did the same thing a few years ago when we moved back to Melbourne.... I bought a standing Garage Mahal in Kew for the price of the scrap value and moved it to my new house across town.....

It was an old school timber frame / tin sheet shed maybe 7m x 4m or somethng like that.... was fantastically built and had servicing records for the guys old cars on the back of the timber doors, going back to the late 1920's....

I hired a Budget tray truck and took a dozen mates/family members.... old one was loaded.....

There's lots of people saying they are willing to help ya

Lets see how willing ???

Have to be bit later this month however as most peeps will be away for a bit

Wow, I dont think mine is from the 1920's but it is a timber frame

Well I hope to go and dismantle it on 11th and 12th of August
Its in Coburg
If anyone is free or has a truck to help with I would greatly appreciate it
