Here's an odd little job.
This little extension slab is to the side of the newly built shed. I completed the brickwork yesterday:
I also did the bricks around this extension to the side of my workshop:
Here is a wonky old lean-to thing resting against the old garden shed:
It used to be the woodstore, and was the first thing I took down when demolishing the lean-to extension to the rear of the old cottage 2 and a half years ago.
I just stood it in the garden until it had a permanent new home, and its time has now arrived. Emptying out the junk took a while, then I braced it temporarily and just rolled it over end-over-end:
Then I popped it on a sack barrow and moved it closer to its new home, and lay it down for the preparatory work:
To get it out of its former position I had butchered the sole plate, as you can see above. I now had to make this good, as well as making it the correct height, and put in a missing corner post. First off was cutting the studs to length. The nearest ones are cut:
Then I made a new pair of sole plates, with half laps at the corners:
That last photo shows the new stud at the top. The shed originally sat next to a chimney, and so had a corner missing.
DPC stapled in place:
Finally, with the help of a friend, I popped it in place:
The missing boarding will have to wait for the demolition of the old shed, which will give me plenty of shiplap to re-do that side. in the meantime, I'll fix in a temporary bit of something or other to keep the weather out. With a couple of shelves it will be a bucket and flower pot store. It's amazing how many of each we have. Garden netting and other odds and ends will go there too. Now that it is in place I can roof the entire shed-and-extension with rubber (left-over pond-liner.........it's EPDM too, and I ordered a bit extra to cover my needs for this roof).
