Workshop Dreams 

Glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks it was a slog but worth the effort.

Thank you very much!

Go for it hard work but really enjoyed it

A dehumidifier may help with this. Permanently drained outside.

Yep I agree I will see how I get on with it. I am going to put a solar array on the roof so there may be spare power to keep it dry. We’ll see I guess Thanks for the comment cheers

Ive never had a problem in 2 decades which i think is due to tools stored in wooden boxes, just like the old days!

I hope so too!

Glad you enjoyed it!

Many thanks! I’m planning the next phase, needed a break!

Thanks forward to starting the fitout

Me too cheers

Thank you very much!

Cheers Mostly old stuff I already have!

It really is! Cheers

Have fun!

Thank you! Cheers!

Thanks it’s taken a lifetime to be able to afford and have the time to build this shop. Cheers

Glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks Phil The concrete supplier suggested bonded anchors as there is very little stress on the concrete. Much less chance of blowing the edge off. Cheers

@@CazualHaze very true, (it’s really upsetting when an edge “pops” on you…)-very good advice therefore..

Thanks and cheers

Glad you think so! Cheers

My view of the building trade is just moving very heavy stuff from place to place! Oh and charging heavily for it! Cheers

What a fantastic tool the nail gun is! Cheers

Cheers appreciated

Thanks I dropped the roofline because I wanted it to blend into the area and not appear too big. Cheers

Thanks 👍 and hello Derbyshire

Sounds great! I have been told by several builders to use pond liner butyl for fat roofing. Best of luck with it.

Glad you enjoyed it

Hopefully this helps! Cheers

Glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks and welcome

Good work sounds like a good shop / garage. I find work is like those puzzles where you slide squares around to make a picture, you have to think several steps ahead! Cheers

Hi Howard, Going to interesting to see how I get on filming with a tin roof. I am going to add a solar system it just makes sense environmentally and economically! Cheers

Cheers appreciated

Thank you very much! The epoxy I used is dear and full of pinpricks so the jury form me is out so far. Cheers

Welcome aboard! Cheers Matthew

Glad you enjoyed it. Cheers

Awesome! Thank you!

Thanks lots to do that’s for sure. Cheers

Best of luck! Good choice you get a lot more for your money in Europe Cheers

Thanks and welcome

Thank you kindly only 59 but still feeling it! Cheers

Cheers mark, Yep I know the siding (we call it cladding) is usually hidden nailed, truth is I got a bit trigger happy and as you say it wont fall off! The lintel is not clear from the video my building inspector made me add two lots of 180 x 50 beams over each window. They are nailed glued and screwed together and fully support the joists also the rafter ends. He was happy and so therefore I am as well. The ceiling has 150mm rockwool missed adding that on the video but it is there. I could not have done it without the plasterboard lift I hired it in, it was a bit beat up but did the job. In hindsight I would recommend anyone wanting to do this sort of thing to get a good mitre saw and a nail gun! I am proud of it so far I really needed the extra space. Visiting Canada soon meeting up with our daughter she's in Vancouver, lovely country!! Cheers

@@CazualHaze Wave as you fly past Ottawa. If you plan on looking around the Capital let me know. I'd be happy to show you around. You are 100% right on the nailer. As a young man I hammered everything. I can't do that much more than one day anymore. But that shop of yours is a days framing. We used to nail on the exterior cladding to while the wall was laying down. So much easier. Working as you did it was not so easy. You will enjoy Vancouver. It's quite different from England that's for sure. Mark

Thank you very much! Looking forward to filling it with stuff lots of stuff. Cheers

Thanks for the idea! It has been a common theme in the comments Cheers

Great point! Not got any of those that are any good ,

Thank you! Cheers!

Thanks for the tip! Trouble is I am likely to eat anything called a toffee wheel.

Many thanks it’s been a journey and a long way to go. Cheers and hello Wales one of my fa

Missed a bit Wales a lovely country spent many weeks there on holidays Cheers

@@CazualHaze Where about's do you go, I bet it's not where i'm from

The usual tourist places Llandudno to Betsy coed.

@@CazualHaze Those are nice towns I love Betws-y-coed and Llandudno is only about 50 mins away from me. I am in the North in Wrexham

Thank you! Will do! Cheers

Hi I know exactly what you mean I was concerned enough to ring the tin roof manufacturer. They told me what I was doing was ok and the roof should last 30 years. Not a builder so not sure what to call things. Cheers

Glad you like it! I have been stunned at the cost but prices have risen so much in the last couple of years. Good luck with your project Cheers

It went along with William the concreter.

I’ve been cagey about costs as it fixes the video in time. My costs have also included tools etc that I needed. Cheers

@@CazualHaze , Yeah fair enough, cost of timber is not the most stable is it. Well enjoy your new space, it looks fantastic.

Hello Lee good to hear from you. Personal message me if you want a chat!

I think it’s going to be a mixed shop metal and wood all with a cnc lilt. Thanks for watching cheers

You are right but I did check off camera. I have used over the years lots of sheets and can only recall one or two that were wrong. My local supplier stocks seconds that are not always very good, but they are cheap! Cheers

I missed it out on the video but there is 150mm rock wool in the ceiling. The windows were my biggest mistake they had to go high to make the bench that ill fit in front 900 high. So they are propping up the top wall plate. I thought that was good enough the building inspector thought differently hence the extra timber to act as a lintel. Bit of a pain as I need to do more work to fit trunking around them. Cheers

Those screws will haunt me forever sadly. Cheers

Hi James I would give you planners a ring as you are replacing an existing structure you may only need to make it look the same size wise! I found they were always happy to have an informal chat. Cheers

The other nailer is a 34degree framing nailer from machine mart in the uk. If you have a compressor far cheaper than a fancy battery or gas nailer. Cheers

Glad you enjoyed!

Hi yes the ceiling is ventilated there is a small air flow through the bargeboards into the roof. There is also 150mm rock wool up there. Cheers

If you’d seen any brick work I have done you’d know why I went down the timber path. I hope to get 25 years out of it so should see me into my dotage. Cheers

Thanks I know. I used the screws because I am worried about climate change and vastly increased wind speeds. Being a lightweight construction the lifting forces don’t need to be huge to rip it off the ground. I know its overkill cheers

Wow thanks for the comment I’m going to install a cyberdine terminator which will also give me a steady supply of fresh muntjack deer for the barby Cheers

Hi yep 150mm rockwool missed it off the video. Cheers

No professional plans I enquired but they wanted so much money I did it myself. Yep it is over made in places but I thought it’s better to put the money into the workshop not the architect! Cheers

Planning took around a month the fire resistant side is from the building inspector. It’s because the workshop is not far enough away from the fence. I left just over a meter as I thought that was enough to get a wheelbarrow through. Cheers

@@CazualHaze Bimey, a month is brilliant. We looked at moving and downsizing the house recently and applied to see if we could even get permission to rebuild the garage, but bigger. It took 3 weeks for them to decide we wouldn't get permission. At least it was cheaper than a full application, which would have taken 4-5 months. We pulled out of buying the property. What area are you in, we need to move there?

You are right of course, but these are recycled widows and were intended to be installed 90 degrees round or vertical. So I am hoping I don’t get too many problems, the weep vents are on the sides not the bottoms. I could pop out a window and drill through if needed. I guess we’ll see, if I get issues I will pass this on as it may help others! Cheers
