As it doesn't have a permanent roof we don't need their approval anyway .... it does make the area look bigger it's 4.8 m x 4 m so not a bad size.

Re: Building the McLaren by Dechellis 1349Jul 05, 2012 11:02 pm Thanks for the warning about the tiles. I actually have a full sized tile that tile shop (Newton Tiles) gave me and it looks all right. I'll make sure the builder writes "rectified" somewhere, but isn't rectified about the edges of the tile?
