Sheds

Ha ha, thanks John, the paint and filler hides a thousand sins! I am too impatient to be a good carpenter.

Just looking forward to having my tools back at home and being able to start rebuilding the two bikes I have waiting and gathering dust.

Hi James
Great job all round.

A good day all in all.

Worktop here, though storage location doesn't meet universal approval apparently. It's only until Saturday though.

Tiles came, a box short but luckily the 10% extra allowance meant I had 1.5 to spare. Have to see I was very impressed with the tiles, at £11 a sq meter I was amazed by the quality.

Anyway tomorrow or Saturday is grouting and the day after I will fit the bench. Maybe move in Monday all going well.

Square corners make for little waste. Looks great. Is the shed that long or will you be cutting the worktop? PaulE

It is looking great and a perfect modelling space.

You wouldn't believe the resistance it's met with lol

I think it maybe easier if I move out there tbh. My stash is also unpopular currently. I sense the 1/32 tamiya tomcat arriving tomorrow while I'm out is also going to have a frosty reception.

No that work top is cut to length already, thought I'd measure anf get professionals to cut the right length to start with and save time.
Turns out they have sent the 58cm off cut too which I'm pondering making an L shape work station with and putting a spray booth on.

Sealed floor today, not the best job and not that happy with it but at the end of the day it's a shed I guess. It will do.

Fitted trestles today ready to put work top on. Attempted it today but it turns out a 3.5m Oak work top weighs a bit more than I can easily lift on my own. Have it on tomorrow when I have assistance hopefully.

Have decided far end will be modelling area with cupboard for power tools and accessories below bench. Middle section below bench will be 40 inch box and last on closest to door will be dehumidifier and compressor.

Thanks Andrew,

It's taken 5 years to get and I am desperate to finish it so I can use it, I lack patience unfortunately!

Hopefully next installment will be a completed shed!

[Ancientmariner]

So a fair bit of progress. Literally just tools to move in now.
Oh and also dig up patio, remove floor boards and ren new cable as the MICC that was there is no good what so ever. Going the whole hog and changing the 40A breaker for a 50A one and running appropriate armour core under the garden for this purpose.
Extension cable is having to do atm so limited on consumers.
