World Citizen Posted March 8, 2018 Author Share Posted March 8, 2018 Can't beat a bit of reclaimed Welsh slate, dark Roof colour has done a good job of visually reducing the height, slates blend in quite well with the neighbors buildings Planning authority now have our application for demolishing my garage, should have the shed structure finished in time to start knocking the garage down as soon as we get approval Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
World Citizen Posted April 16, 2018 Author Share Posted April 16, 2018 (edited) Not much shed progress so I picked up a couple of 6" x 8 " x 16ft oak beams, yesterday, still got one more to collect Not for the shed but for phase 2, my garage with attached house extension Need a longer truck, took the front passenger seat out and pushed them tight up against the dash Edited April 16, 2018 by World Citizen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuchs915 Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 Great stuff. A mate told me today he is putting electric underfloor heating in his, rather more modest, new shed. Part of the plan? Keep up the good work and the posts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

World Citizen Posted May 5, 2018 Author Share Posted May 5, 2018 (edited) my builder making progress on the stonework while the sun shines Used what are called 'randoms' stone instead of cut stone, the stone is quarried a few miles away, same estate where they film Top Gear and chopped up in the village, I get a real kick out of sourcing local A bit of concreting and natural render round the back, oil tank will go here and an air compressor too, shame to hide the boundary wall Mrs. WC built Edited May 5, 2018 by World Citizen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
World Citizen Posted May 8, 2018 Author Share Posted May 8, 2018 Had a monster of a weekend, feeling absolutely tattered 😩 Skived off work early on Fri. and finished the 1st layer of 1/2" ply on the floor, glued, screwed and squeak free Sat. delivery of a couple of oak beams , too big to go in my truck, took 6 of us to unload as each one weighs about half a ton 😨 14" square by 4.5m, one has a bit of natural curvature, , expensive but worth every penny Not being used on my shed but for the next phase of building work Shed stone gable end facing the house nearly finished, shed looks very unhappy but I'm super pleased, should like its always been their after a bit of weathering Spent Sun/Mon clearing out the garage of years and years worth of accumulated stuff, even found a pair of black dress shoes that have been missing for at least 2 years 😀 The shed interior is not complete but now jammed full of stuff, once I get my winch fitted the underfloor storage will work a treat swallowing up everything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

World Citizen Posted June 20, 2018 Author Share Posted June 20, 2018 Shed workis on hold as it's been filled to the joists with garage chod ☹️ After a slight delay in gaining planning approval we've started demolition work for the house build phase, it's a lot easier to take them down than put them up 😧 End of next week I say goodbye EV race car, hello my house project as Mrs WC and I go full time building laborers helping our builder Hoping I can financially and physically last out until late autumn when we're hoping to have the roof on and internal timbers done, going to be quite a task as the build needs +20 steel beams/coulmns, two 500kg oak beams, more oak beams/joists and tons and tons of stone, blocks and concrete Only got 6 work sleeps to go, can't wait !
