    Thank Andy... But the outside is still a long way off. I've got to survive the winter with tarps and DPM sheets while I do the inside and get power. Then come spring, EWI, render and roof. But! It is getting there

    Well, it's been a while, but I've got it waterproof, albeit only with the roofs VCL and tarps. In preparation for being able to keep it from going musty in the wet weather, I have started on the ventilation. Going to template out where I want it all to run, then slurry and paint the walls...

    I don't want wall straps coming down inside this, so am opting for long ass M12 studs down through a couple of course. Tried using the capsule first, big mistake going against manufactures product suite (don't do 500mm long studs). Ended up injecting general building resin into the holes after...

    No worries. This'll be my third. The first was bright and warm and still looks good. The Swcond was an emergency repair in November. Not so nice

    Skipped a few progress pics. But roofs on, cantilever is solid and with tarps, I'm rain proof. Now I can slow down a bit and chill.

    Adding some cast-in-place padstones for the RSJ. No building work on top of it, it's for an engine hoist. Steel arrives Friday

    I have finished laying the walls! Oh god. That was so much effort. There is now a very definite alley between home and build. And even the start of some timber I'm close to having it rain proof. Let's goooo!

    Flat roof sound deadening

    The 2x10s will be feathered to give my roof slope. They exist 2.4m and up to give me more storage. Warm deck is preferred as I have no soffit vent space. 600mm centers is so I can fit my 600x600 panel lights. Storing ropes, cables, material lengths... Etc Would also add that I'm making the...
