The garage is as near to completion as it will be until the spring, after we finally got the people door properly painted and installed. There was a major delay there - it should have been done in mid December, except the door was delivered NOT painted and had to go back to the manufacturer because installing a bare untreated wood door in winter would be a very bad idea. And then nothing happened over Christmas and New Year, obviously, so it was actually the end of January when it came back. (And then it was another 2 weeks before I got around to making this post, because I've been in Writing Mode.)
It doesn't look it here because of the sunlight, but the people door is actually the same colour as the garage door, and the outside lights were installed at the same time too. So it's now a fully functional garage. The outside walls will be painted later in the year when it's not so cold and wet, so that the paint will actually dry, and the green roof planting still needs to be done. And after the roof is done, we can get the planting on the slopes alongside it done. But we can at least put a car in it now!

The garage door opener inside has a red light on it, so at night you can see a red glow through the upper windows and it looks like a portal to hell. Keep out if you value your life 😁
