With difficulty if she doesn't speak Polish. Given me an idea for the back of my garage door. Not sure it will look quite as good done on the office printer on A4 tiles though.

If you paint a black line between each tile it'll look as if its viewed through a gate - and then a friend will pop over with an angle grinder to gain access... :lol:

The ultimate in armchair exploring... you'd never have to leave the house.

Mind you, with a sofa that colour, you probably wouldn't be allowed to go underground again...

Couldn't resist it. Image from Shutterstock, printed by a firm in Holland, pasted onto the newly insulated garage door. Looks better in real life (I know, I ought to get one). Even Mrs B.Eng likes it, so now planning another panorama for the Utility Room.

Very nice :thumbsup:

But for an even better effect you'll need to continue the rails along the garage floor... 😉

I would be careful who you show that to B. Eng.
Looks rather like one of those drug smuggling tunnels to me....

Well, that could be handy for my mild hypertension and back pain pills, with prescription charges being what they are..... Mind you, you'd have to shift a fair few to make it worth the investment in track. I reckon a Palestinian (other nationalities are available) would be proud of this sort of effort. None of your recycled pallet lagging boards here.

Cool. How many times have you walked into the garage door? 😉

Just out of interest, what did the printing cost?

Answer 1. Zero, thus far, but we'e only 2 days in.
Answer 2. About €75, from a firm called Repro.
