Stellaghost Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 Check the freebies on Gumtree I got around 40 3x2 slabs free uplift, shame your not closer could have got you some free bags of concrete mix from work, some of the concrete mix you can pay and level dry and then spray several times with water to set, used this method for a lean-to at the side of my garage worked well regards Stephen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miketomcat Posted January 11, 2022 Author Share Posted January 11, 2022 Ironically someone at work mentioned doing a dry sand cement mix, leveling it then damping it. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miketomcat Posted January 24, 2022 Author Share Posted January 24, 2022 The front wall went up Friday, I've done away with the window for now. The door has been moved from the original shed to the concrete workshop opening and works better than it ever did. I also cut the old roof off on Saturday. Yesterday I got the rest of the frame up and membrane/sheeted the roof. Mike 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miketomcat Posted January 24, 2022 Author Share Posted January 24, 2022 It was dark by that point last night. I've still got to take down the rest of the original shed but it should be watertight. Mike 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully I can get the rear Half's floor sorted soon then I can take the rear wall down. I've been out tonight to sort some temporary lighting so I can get some stuff done in the evening's.

Didn't leave me in a positive mood. No, the 1st book is relatively chirpy and it does get less fun as the series goes along. Interesting read though.

It's about 27m² floor area inside, plus 6m² external dry storage. It should be a decent work area it's just a shame I can't get a car to it with the exception of a jem shell when she's not looking.
