• Hi all and welcome to TheWoodHaven2 brought into the 21st Century, kicking and screaming! We all have Alasdair to thank for the vast bulk of the heavy lifting to get us here, no more so than me because he's taken away a huge burden of responsibility from my shoulders and brought us to this new shiny home, with all your previous content (hopefully) still intact! Please peruse and feed back. There is still plenty to do, like changing the colour scheme, adding the banner graphic, tweaking the odd setting here and there so I have added a new thread in the 'Technical Issues, Bugs and Feature Requests' forum for you to add any issues you find, any missing settings or just anything you'd like to see added/removed from the feature set that Xenforo offers. We will get to everything over the coming weeks so please be patient, but add anything at all to the thread I mention above and we promise to get to them over the next few days/weeks/months. In the meantime, please enjoy!

There was a delay to the sheets so had roofing membrane exposed to weather and uv for longer than I wanted. You'll see I went for horizontal battens which will...

    Slowest workshop build in the history of mankind

    Thanks Nick and 9fingers for the advice. A bit more progress- I could only get Gorrilla tape, its not great I may have to retape again before cladding properly. I might also drape a tarp over to protect from UV damage as I dont know when I will be able to get the timber cladding. Rafters...

    Slowest workshop build in the history of mankind

    A bit more done- slowly of course! 3 course brick wall with wall framing complete. The long section next to the fence had to be clad before lifting into place as I can't access it. It was also clad in wriggly tin (Rhino roofing near Tamworth, really helpful people), this is so it's low...

    Slowest workshop build in the history of mankind

    I'm looking for a bit of advice on the best order to close up a workshop- am I best to get the roof on first, then enclose the sides, do I need to enclose everything to prevent the roof blowing off? I've just finished 3 courses of bricks on a reinforced concrete base for a 7m x 3.5m workshop...
