Et voila, as they say in Fronglais.

Well it worked with most I tried.

Thanks

Malc, I 'd like to see the photos of your turbo incinerator again when you have nothing else to do. It is something that I have been toying with for a while. What did you use for the turbo?
I do not think therefore I do not am.

Wasn't me, Andy.

I believe it was Woodstalker.

Re: Malcolm's Garden Workshop (Internal Lining Complete)

Postby Malc2098 » 05 Mar 2018, 15:53

At last. I've finished lining the inside walls and ceiling with 11mm OSB.

The last few bits of OSB were tricky doing it my own. I had to work out some ways of creating sky hooks to keep the sheets up there before I got the first screw in.

Just to support another thread that said wear eye protection, I've been wearing hard hat, eye protection and a service belt to carry all the tools I'd need when I'm climbing up the step ladder or standing on the temporary bench.

Hard hat is logical, in case any sheets fell on me, but you'd be surprised how many times you hit your head on things. Eye protection because of OSB dust and splinters.

Picture this, I'm up the ladder with my hard hat and eye protection on, with my belt round my middle carrying all I needed including the drill driver, I've got my hands above me pushing the sheet upwards and then........my trousers start sliding down!

I can't help it if I've got snake hips!

Anyway, it doesn't look pretty, and neither did I, but after a couple of coats of white emulsion, I'll be able to fill all the gaps and it'll look prettier.

Getting there, Malc. Brilliant. Must be a pain working around all the stuff you've got in there at the moment.

Window frame, door frames and long term temporary doors painted.

Complimentary colour, willow to complement the French grey, chosen by Mission Control who has this daft idea that us boys don't know anything about colours.

Thanks, Chaps. It looks nice from the outside now, if you don't get too close.

It's sill not pretty on the inside, but it will be!

Nice choice of colours, it looks brilliant! Bet you can’t wait to get in, is it a long list of things to do or are you nearly there?

Thanks. Yes, the colours go really well, don't they. The roof is charcoal. The eaves are OSB painted matt black, but the texture makes them look like charcoal, too. The cladding is Bedec French Grey and the frames are Ronseal garden paint, willow.

The next job is painting the inside which I can do in any weather now, and then wiring. I might even put down another ply layer to the floor, screwed through OSB floor into the joists to stiffen it up and then paint with floor paint.

Re: Malcolm's Garden Workshop (Inside Painting Started)

Postby Malc2098 » 15 Mar 2018, 20:32

Still no sign of the electrician to connect up.

I started painting the inside. Firstly with a roller.

But I'm under the physio at the mo, and it's killing my back so I got out the Wagner.

Trouble is, I'm no spray painter, the paint goes on quite thick, takes a day or two to dry out (OSB doesn't soak up like a plaster wall or wallpaper) and I've got too much stuff in the 'shop already, that I can't do it all in one go!

But I'll get there.

Malc, the outside looks really great! :eusa-clap: :eusa-clap:

Surprising what a difference just a small amount of paint does to the inside.
Are you going to paint the floor as well?

Malc, You can bring your photos back from the dead. I've done the first few for you.

Edit the file link for each photo to replace "jpg" with "jpg~original"

I've no idea how it works but seems to fix photos on Many of Photobuckets servers (but not all).
The server that holds your pic seems to be susceptible to this fix.

Works well, fixed this post of mine

You are welcome Phil. I can't claim any credit for the fix. I found it on Usenet a while back and it seems to work on most of fotophuket's servers and they don't seem to have spotted the extra traffic from non subscribers folders.

Thanks, Phil.

I'm thinking of putting a layer of ply down on the floor screwed through to the joists to stiffen it up a bit more, than paint it with grey flooring paint.......unless anyone can suggest something else.

My workshop floor is ply and I gave it a few coats of toolstation's basic water based polyurethane varnish. Pushed around with a cheap broom. It is re-coatable in a few hours. I put 10 litres on 30 sq. m re-coating till it was all gone
It has lasted very well. in just over 10 years, it is wearing through slightly in a few places where I regularly stand but other than that it has been fine.

Malc, go for a light blue colour on the floor. (white is a bit like a hospital)
Brightens up the workshop and easy to find small stuff you dropped.

My workshop/garage floor was painted with a blue epoxy paint before we moved into the house. Just need to be weary of scratches when moving stuff around.
