• 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!

Richards Garage/Workshop build

Depending on the definition of starting and finishing, 6 years might be on the cards :lol: . The concrete slab was completed in February 2016 and here we are in November 2021, but at least it is on the homeward straight now.

The main garage door arrived today. I will be installing that tomorrow, all being well. I might even temporarily block up the other openings whilst I am waiting for materials, and then I will have a secure building :eusa-dance: .
 
There's a big storm coming this weekend. Could I suggest finishing the counterbattening of the walls, or, at the very least, do the areas around the openings.
 
There is actually a few more battens fitted now than shown on the photo. It became obvious pretty quickly that the wind would wreck it, after a bit of a late summer breeze had it billowing all over the place.
 
Little bit of an update on this, but not a huge amount of progress. I installed the main door, which was a bit of a challenge at times, as the instructions breezed past some very important points that showed their hand later on and needed a bit of backtracking to rectify. Irritating, but not a big deal.

A couple of photos for reference, but not necessarily the most interesting part of the build.

What can also be seen in the second photo is that I now have the timber for cladding it. I opted for feather edge British Larch. Just need to find a bit of time to finish the battening and start on the cladding.
