Yes I’m hoping the patina of the roof will blend in. Would hate for it to stand out like a sore thumb. 4 lats is plenty. Any more would be over kill IMO. Double doors are planned. The opening is around 12ft wide so hoping this will do the job. 3 big hinges per door. Hoping to insulate one day...

In hindsight I would have built it with an overhang. But when I designed it and ordered the timber it was all based around minimal waste and trying to be cheap so 8ft roof timbers was decided. Never mind.

Roof tin on! Been a blustery day so was like flying a kite at times! Need to put more tex screws in and the ridge still to go on but well chuffed with it. Bought second hand time last year. 30 sheets of 2ftx10ft for £150 delivered. Was the bargain of the year I think. Looks a bit rough but like...

Mezzanine storage area joists put in. Maybe need to put joist hangers at both ends but ran out.

Soffits fitted. Facials will be done after the tin goes on to get it tucked up nice and tight.

Shoulda woulda coulda :cry:

Ok I’ll try!

Other over hang done on the other end. You can see I have a couple rafters that are a bit low. Might have to pack the lats out so it’s not noticeable when the tin goes on. Bit of trim work. Pretty basic but 3” late on the corners over lapping joints. Not 100% water tight but should be pretty...

Not so great up close :LOL: but decent with limited tooling. Got my dad to thank for what skills I’ve learnt from him over the years.

Did my apprenticeship as mechanical aircraft fitter. Why do you ask?

All sides boarded. Put an 8” overhand on one gable end. Will do the other end tomorrow or Thursday. Then a bit of trim work before the tin goes on the roof.

More progress made today. Could get used to this not working lark. Back wall fully boarded. Roof membrane and battons on. Next job is to get both end walls boarded.

Daddy’s little helper

front is boarded. Looking good if I do say so myself

Finished bracing the frame and started wrapping in membrane. Will finish the membrane tomorrow and start cladding hopefully

Might have missed the odd price here and there but think it’s important to inform others

Actually thought about advertising building these haha :LOL:

Started a new job in November after being made redundant. New boss was an absolute c*** and we couldn’t see eye to eye. Mutual agreement to part ways. Glad to be gone. And the workshop has been a great distraction. Just trawling job websites now :mad::confused:

Bit more progress yesterday and today. Not many pictures during the days but well chuffed with how it’s gone! Sick of cutting rafters and birds mouths so glad it’s finished. Perlins tomorrow and bits and bobs.

More progress made. Currently jobless so making the most of it! Braced all corner posts square and went from there. All dimensions are repeated so makes cutting easy. Minimal waste so far. Few more diagonal braces to fit using off cuts. And I’ll get the on with the roof. More tomorrow I...
