Hi All
Apologies for the lengthy gap since my last update. Life has been pretty hectic over the last couple of months, but I have made some good progress on the workshop so here's the latest update
The roof is now tiled and has the dry ridge installed. I was pretty concerned about structural integrity as there is nearly 2 tonnes of tile up there but the walls haven't moved at all and everything seems solid
I've also installed the French door, caulked all the joints around the building and given it the first coat of paint...so this is how she's looking.

The aim is to get the building water tight before the end of October so next jobs are to make and fit the fascias and sofits, put up the dry verge, install the window and give the building a second coat (though I dont think it needs it). I'll then start to work on the inside, though my wife is about to give birth to our second child so unlikely to have much time to work on it over Autumn/Winter.
One bit of advice I was hoping to get is on the floating floor. The floor right now is a cement slab with no insulation so the plan is to put down 50mm Celotex and then 18mm T&G chipboard on top. Apart from the usual (gluing the joints, expansion gaps around the edge etc) is there anything I should be aware of when doing this?
Cheers
