All build updates are here:

http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a...

quite interesting to have a look every month or so as I usually miss the updates unless Im bookmarked.

Not for this project though

Added.

Its the 12th one down... you guys need glasses.

Try reading it when you've finished at Specsavers. The thread's there but there are no updates.

I was talking about all build diaries...

Sometimes I miss the original post and they all appear on the wiki and I can just have a look round there to look for updates, rather than the fact this is on there with updates as its this thread.

Hi Russ,
Are you using galvanised box sections for your supports you concreted in?

Cheers

Hope you've got a mean rat catcher dog/cat, looks like a rat hotel under your shed.

[thenabs]

did you ever finish this OP?

I just completed my blog on a similar effort, and I'd be interested to hear how you got on.

I hope you don't mind but I used your picture of the genie lift - something I wish I had hired myself!

Here is the blog if you are interested:

Need to update this thread, anyway......


Yes the box sections were galvanised - I cut up some 2.4m long fence posts.
Some of the offcuts are still kicking around the garden with very signs of rust even on the cut edges

Come on OP! Update required

[Russ_H]

Apologies for being so slack with the thread updates

Here goes................

SIPS ready for EPDM rubber roof. Went for the hopefully fit and forget option


EPDM roof installed. Should have been simple but it was a very hot day and the glue went off really quick so there are patches that didn't stick down. Stuck down securely at the edges which is the main thing.



Started cladding the shed with Cedar


More Cladding


Guttering around the back


All finished outside. Painted the cedar with two coats of OSMO UV oil
All electrics done - 2 outside sockets, alarm, PIR and lights & provision for deck lights


Electrician has done his thing inside, batten the walls & plasterboard. CAT6 and TV points in both rooms









Skimmed and painted white

[Russ_H]

Stuff left......

LED lighting in the living room side
Flooring - anyone any recommendations for some thick lino for the workshop side?
Composite decking & lighting

No insulation?

The floor was insulated with 60mm Kingspan and the walls and roof are 140mm thick SIPS (Structural Insulated Panels)
Waaaayyyyyy over engineered for a shed

Living room side


Outside with decking work in progress

When you first posted this I began to think this would be awful, but wow was I wrong. Very inspiring stuff! Congratulations!

I give it 2 weeks before man shed become OH dumping ground for her crap.

This is great - thinking of building something like this myself. Can't decide whether to go for rendered cavity wall with concrete blocks, or SIP with cladding..

Russ_H - would you mind sharing how much was your total project cost for this?
