    Retaining wall, fence, drainage and a big ol power cable all going on in this corner. Making my brain hurt.

    I've been worried about how to close off this corner and how well my flashing will fit. Sufficed to say, I'm not supper happy, but it'll do.

    Some fluffy is still on some of the OSB (I'm thinking this was the spore source) - not fantastic quality stuff

    Hibernation complete, it's still dry, still there and I now have the first order of custom metal skirt in. £190. Time to enjoy the sunny British weather and get it fitted and hope it works.

    I don't want wall straps coming down inside this, so am opting for long ass M12 studs down through a couple of course.

    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

    Workshop Mk2

    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.
