Looking good Dan. How many jars of T.E.T. did you go through to get all the insulation in place?

I'm with Dan, doing the shed is much more fun ! The grass will only grow back

Awesome progress Dan - coming together really nicely now

Yeah Digger's right about the lawn - let it lie fallow

Hahaha that'll be the next thing the wife wants me too do mow the damn grass

Finally got round to doing the one thing that needed doing last year lol I made a gutter stop to stop the crap off of next doors trees block the gutter up, I could have gone out and purchased one ready made but that would have cost too much around £30 for just over 2 meters as this way cost about a fiver it's just chicken wire rolled up and crammed in the gutter lets water flow and no crap through

good job, but whats that roofing material. It looks like custom orb, yet has a funny surface pattern ?

It's a metal corrugated sheet and the dimples on there are to help move any moisture/condensation on the underside,the other side of the roof is coated with a felt like material and the angle of the roof means it's all supposed to run to one end and not drip down..modern technology escapes me

Any sort of reno is a big job, but presumably the boyfriend is helping. I did my own place over a period of 8yrs...one mustn't rush things

A cracking update I managed to get an afternoon in the cave and got it all framed out and mostly insulated I'll finish that last bit tomorrow but on the hole it's coming on grand once I get it there tomorrow and finish the insulation off I'm gonna give it a damn good clear out because all the crap is getting under foot and its doin my head in but hopefully not too long before I can get in there and model

Till next time

Post by **digger303** » Sun Aug 04, 2019 12:22 am

Looking good, can start to see how good it's going to be. It might sound silly, but will you have enough power points and lighting plus a vent outlet ? We know how sometimes these little details get lost in the over all build. Not pointing any fingers, but you know who you are

Have you thought of shelving and display area's running lighting to them ?
cheers

Yeah I have thought about sockets and lights and was just going to have 2 big strip lights and a crap ton of sockets so I can have loads plugged in plus a load of spare just in case and not really thought about the layout yet that would just cook my brain with everything else going on in there lol and the vents will be the next thing going in I've got all the bits just need to think where to place them that's best I've just been thinking that I put them in and have enough hose on them to move them to where I need them under the worktop

YouTube · Post by **Kingdan** » Sun Aug 04, 2019 4:13 pm

So I finally finished the insulation off today then gave it all a damn good clean I used my leaf blower/Hoover thingy to suck all the sawdust and all the small bits of insulation up worked a treat but the wife looked at me with the are you for real look

but it saved me sweeping with a brush so I win lol but I'm happy with what I've managed to get done this weekend maybe next weekend if I get some time I can start boarding the ceiling fingers crossed

Post by **Twokidsnosleep** » Sun Aug 04, 2019 4:41 pm

Ahh it is solid insulation, I get it
Great work bud, love seeing someone do it themselves

Yeah the amount of money it's cost I only want to do it once lol having said that I have had a small brain wave about doing another one but smaller at the end of the garden

YouTube · Post by **Kingdan** » Thu Aug 08, 2019 8:50 pm

A teenie tiny update, I've been and fetched the first lot of plaster boards for the cave

And got some one way window tint film

that's gonna be fun to do never done it before but I've watched 3 videos on YouTube so I'm an expert now

Hopefully by the end of the day Saturday I should be another step closer maybe..........

Post by **Twokidsnosleep** » Thu Aug 08, 2019 8:57 pm

We have been battling doing window tint on the Subaru....it is an absolute B.
Gave up and he can get it done professionally for the Scoobie.
The best I got was on my X-Wing canopy

I think it will be easier on flat planes of glass mind you, so going to try it on my workshop doors and windows

Hopefully with it being flat and square it's gonna be easy but you never no lol and I would dread doing car windows I'm not really looking forward to doing flat ones but it's got to be done to keep the nosey parkers out

So some more done on the cave got all the ceiling done and some walls on hopefully another 2 weekends and I should have a nice room to start planning

Had a small break after the ceiling was done lol

Then on to the walls

By the time I'm done I'll need t be in a fit state to do any modelling pmsl

Post by **Twokidsnosleep** » Sat Aug 10, 2019 8:38 pm

Looking really good, top notch job

I left all the screw holes and seams out so I knew where the heck the studs were for hanging things

Been in the cave again today got a lots done again it shouldn't be long now for it all to be boarded the door gave me some grief but I over came it with swearing and brute force oh and a hammer

On a plus note after some more cleaning up tomorrow morning I should be done with the boarding as there's only about 11 foot left to board then it's the wait till the sparky can get in and do his thing

but again I can still do certain things till he gets here

Till next time

YouTube · Post by **Kingdan** » Sun Aug 18, 2019 6:03 pm

It's all boarded out now thank god lol I'm gonna have a few days off from it now hopefully get the sparky in soon but till he gets here I'll just plod on doing what I can

Time for a small rest before work tomorrow
