:eusa-dance:

Front wall and remaining right wall (not shown) now complete. Well, except for eaves all round which will be a bit fiddly and time consuming but I can do them another time. Now all the main exterior components are done, and I can start on the inside.

I had to buy some more featherboard for the right wall, (didn’t want new on the front) and spent 70 quid! I’m glad I managed to reuse all my original featherboard for the rest, the de-nailing effort was worth it!

I’ve been taking advantage of the reasonable weather. It rained a bit yesterday afternoon but I could still work, and it’s not cold which is great for this time of year.

Lights arrived at work. Just got to get them home safely! :lol:

I bought 2 to start with but I’ve gone for warm white, and also purchased the frame etc they offer to make fitting easier. A bit more expensive than £19 (I think 32 each) but might be worth it.

Edit (there is a top-box on the bike holding them upright)

I got them home safely and tested them to make sure they work ok. Warm white seems decent. These are to go on the ‘modelling’ side of my workshop. I may evaluate them before I decide whether to use more of the same or go cool white for the workshop side (motorcycle maintenance etc)

That's a rather scary sail you've attached to the back, think I'd have been inclined to lie them flat! Hope you get home in one piece!
It might not be broken, but it will be by the time I've finished with it! (hammer)

I wanted to fit the old doors for at least some nod towards security, so I did that tonight. I had to cut some off some height, and fitted the left one. The right one however needed to be about half the width, so take one door - and cut in half!

I plan to make some decent doors properly in the summer, but at the moment needs must.

Today I tidied up everything and emptied it out so I could put the floor down. Trip up the dump at 8.30am to take about 10 bags of waste wood / offcuts to make moving about possible. I bought 2 new sheets of insulation to make flooring a bit quicker & easier and used lots of the original too (which is all in small pieces cos of the original arrangement). I also had to use the original osb floor boards which aren’t in great condition but too expensive to replace. Looks alright now it’s down.

Tidy up and sweep:

I’m now in the process of making the stud internal wall. This serves 2 functions: to split the space into a clean side (modelling) and a dirty side (motorbike); and to support the cross beam mid-way to help prevent roof sag.

I’m making it on top of the floor so in theory it would be possible to remove in the future if I wanted one big space for some reason. Probably never will though. When that is made I will spray white.

Thanks you’re very kind. I keep thinking I’m not doing enough! But you know what it’s like, even doing the floor required much cutting of original osb boards as this shed floor dimensions is different / smaller then the original.

I also find everything’s a struggle as either the tools you need are put away somewhere, (eg I’m using that block in the pic above to stand on, as my step ladder is not available!!!) or there’s not enough space cos of all the building materials that are in your way!

I’ve started adding an extra cross beam at a lower level with a gap above it. This runs from the right side to the stud wall. It is to enable me to use straps to hold a motorbike up when I want to take the forks out, for example. It doesn’t have to be too strong. I planned it, so there is a gap in the wall to slide it into, and a stud for it to sit on. (Bit hard to see the beam cos it blends into the other wood in the pics)

Got the stud wall up today. I decided to bring it forward all the way and have left the correct space for a regular door once door liner is fitted at this end. I was also able to use all the left over insulation used previously under the floor since I had bought 2 new sheets.

This was handy for 2 reason - my modelling room will be able to warm up quickly and retain heat when I’m in there (with door shut once I fit one); and it got rid of all the insulation so I don’t have to dispose of it up the dump - only a few scraps left now. Only negative is there was more than I though so I might not have had to buy 2 sheets for the floor (mentioned above) and could have saved some money. However speed was an issue too, when putting down the floor so on balance I probably made the right decision.

Better overview of floor (not much to see really):

I’ve cut one osb ready for this side, and just have to purchase one more (last one!) and cut. Then a tidy up and paint, hopefully. Will try to do in the week after work.

Where did you buy your insulation from?
I need about 15 sheets in the next week or two.

selco (I have a member card). They do various thicknesses.

Question to anyone still reading: I want to make the window frame / lining. I intend to have a single piece double-glazed window made to the opening.

Do I use (say) 150x25mm PAR redwood planed, then what? Rebate using a router to accept the window up against an edge - in which case would I want the removed material to be on the inside or outside? if you know what I mean.

Then, would I just use beading to secure the window in the recessed frame?

I am thinking about security and also rain. If rain, I would want to put window in from the outside (so rain wouldn't leak 'past' and into the shed; but then that would be easy for a scrote to lever out any beading holding the window in?

But if other way round then rain could run into shed (if pane was inserted from inside the building & beading was therefore inside)

any thoughts / links to something for me to read?

If the window isn't overlooked then it'll be more favoured by a scrote than one that is overlooked.

Whichever way you rebate it in, you can always put some metal bars across and up and down the reveal inside screwed or bolted to studs.

Bit of an update, I finished interior and painted white, took a whole day believe it or not (don’t bother with cheap sprayers, I wasted an evening on one. Totally useless, now binned). Fitted bench at normal table height for sitting at for model making etc. Then promptly got everything in out the damp garden (FYI tarps don’t work)

Fitted window frame which meant I found I had made a mistake with featherboard when I cut the material open, so featherboard had to be taken down, and new put up the correct width to meet the window frame correctly

Had double glazed unit made for 30 quid and fitted today. I sandwiched between wooden beading, and used a cheap window / frame sealer (in a gun) to seal.

Finally, I have fitted old batten units to my motorbike side, and wired up. And one LED wired up on modelling side. Used proper wire etc but is still attached via an extension lead at the moment. But can now switch on and off easily and see properly. Phone pic is bad - can’t cope with contrast - but in real life it is all nice and bright now.

Tell me about it. Looks like you've been using one of those blue woven ones which are totally useless. I think I've tried most of them in the last month or so. Some even come with a 'do not use as a roof covering' or 'Our guarantee does not cover the eyelets' buried in the small print.

To anyone contemplating getting a tarpaulin, go for the heaviest gauge you can...they will last a reasonable length of time.

Your workshop is coming along nicely.
