Hi
working mainly weekends and doing almost everything except glazing myself. I built this out of 3yr old oak for the framing - kiln dried oak for the doors and frames
and douglas fir for the roof to minimise any movement.

hope you like :)

Mike

Is that your own workshop ?.
You seem well equipped for the job.
Very nice. :D
 
beautiful! :LOL:

why wasn't the paving set higher or at least, why didn't you show more brickwork at the paving/dpc detail?

How did you run the cables for the lights and sockets?

Heat loss regs is a good one too. Is there any door between this and the house? Were BC involved?
 
how on earth have you got around the heat loss reg's? :eek:

You will have to separate it from the existing house with a proper external door when you come to sell up.

Be a good idea to do it now as your house will be freezing if it has to try to heat your new conservatory too! :(

Still a lovely job though.
 
Have to say that is truly exceptional. Your obviously a little past the weekend DIY'er stage where woods concerned.

First thing I also thought once a saw no dividing doors was the heat retention requirement.

Is it tripple glazing? or some other weird glass ?

The intention is to fit doors but to be honest I have had enough this year its knackered me
:oops:
so it will have to wait till next year at least-- we'll see how cold it gets :eek:

Materials were about £20,000.00 but that includes everything including electric velux's -- underfloor heating - tiling - foundation etc

oh and yes that is my workshop - I built it last year :D

the brick detail below the damp course was a mistake basically but i have plans to face it with some flint.

Mike :D

I ran a ring around the top of the frame on the exterior face and dropped to all sockets down the exterior - the glazing bars eg the 250mm wide boards covered the trunking.

thanks for all comments By the way


Mike :D
 
the valley detail looks rather interesting particularly at the 'busy' lead intersection where the parapet roof, tile valley and glass roof all meet.

i bet you scratched your head a bit here! :LOL:
