move the drains. not a massive job if you've got a digger on site.

You're right hahaha

A point with mentioning on the ridge tin... because it wasn’t the correct angle for the ridge, I had a pig of a job getting it to fit. I started along one edge doing the full length and thought I’d be able to tease / manipulate it down along the other edge. I did get it screwed down however I...

Thanks Andy. Glad to have it finished so I can get on with other things!

So the jobs finished now. I did the roof osb as I said above. Starting at the front and working back. Helped twist things into shape a bit. I put a few screws in to hold it in place. Then braced things up to where I thought it should be, then fully screwed the osb down. I then put the tin on. I...

Excellent job!

Christmas? is that 2021 or 2022??? will probably start it in the spring now as got to have my regs drawings done and approved which will take a good month or so maybe. I will update what i can on the regs drawings. Not got a clue on budget yet. I have asked several builders but they are yet to...

Planning permission was approved today!

maybe the floor timbers aren't big enough. how long are they and what size are they? and how much spacing is there between them? I'd have though they'd be something along the lines of: 2m long. 150x50mm. spaced every 400mm

A view form the kitchen window below... Got a couple of OSB sheets up yesterday. Quite a fiddle. Everything is in twist and out of square at the moment - apart from the wall sole plates. I got them bob on before securing to the block work. The doors are binding a bit and the lock bolts are a...

end of play today i got the walls secured to the blocks using frame fixings, and just screwed the walls together. they was coach bolted when i dismantled it but didn't have any to hand and put extra screws in for good measure Replaced the purlin's. Next is to sling some osb boards on the roof...

offered the walls up to the block work and kept my fingers crossed things lined up. Had to carry them 100 yards on my own which again was hard work in the heat. they seemed to get heavier with each step/shuffle.

concreted the enclosed floor area to make mucking out easier, and i didn't want another timber floor to rot in time. 4 inch of hard core compacted down. didn't have any sand to bind with so naughtily used a bit of soil. dusted an inch over the hardcore, compacted it down, then spayed it with a...

wall bottoms repaired

I had to relocate the shed as it was originally out on a limb away from the house. we wanted it closer and where it is positioned now we can see it out of the kitchen/utility window block work going down. Forget to capture foundations but it was a spades width and depth, with a bit of rubble...

Before pictures

Evening all, A little project i had to do as a result of getting 4 chickens at short notice. It started out as some kind of chicken coop / dog run / shed that was already at the property when we moved in. It was in a poor state and i used it to sling a few logs in amongst other crap. The roof...

i was in the process of purchasing a house in 2016. it was derelict since 1980 odd. the electric had been disconnected in the 90's as the grid supply wasn't renewed when they did the rest of the area. to cut a long story short, the nearest place the grid could connect the property to was roughly...
