Workshop / Shed Size?

[McCabe-Thiele (Ted)]

Two bikes in the lounge makes using the oven for engine paint curing pale into insignificance - respect. 😎😎😎

PS I have a sink on our garage unfortunately no hot water though.

Superb, great news, you’ll love that

I certainly will, so will her indoors, there are currently two motorcycles parked up in the house as the guys needed access through the garage to complete the base and I wasn’t leaving them outside. She’s looking forward to gaining some of the garage space back, apparently we need a dog washing sink installing in there now!

Compromise and get a parts washer they can share.

Genius idea… squeaky clean dogs and a toy for me!

Looking really good, in by Christmas .
Do yourself a big favour if you are leaving the concrete floor, pour some self leveling screed over the top. If will stop the dust rising from the concrete and leaves a smooth finish that is a lot easier to clean/sweep than plain or painted concrete. If you are planning on working out there in the winter insulate the floor, there is nothing worse than working for hours whilst standing on a sold concrete floor and feeling the cold come up through your feet!

Go the whole nine yards - underfloor heating.👍

The shed will have an insulated wooden floor with damp proof membrane and 20mm T&G floor boards, so I’m hoping that should be quite comfortable, relatively speaking.

The shed went up today, it will probably be a few months until the power and light is in, walls are insulated and boarded etc as time will be tight with work through the winter but I will get there.

Looking good - are the corrugated sheets pre-insulated ?

Looks fab!

You will never get a 2 post car ramp in there

Unfortunately not, I had the floor pre insulated before installation, everything else needs doing.

Thank goodness for that!

As long as I can get a kettle and my armchair from the conservatory in there, along with a few tools and a shelf for the biscuits I can convince Mrs C that it’s a workshop and I’m working hard to improve my spannering skills, so must be left alone to figure it all out.

That’s the plan anyway, let’s see how that goes.

A proper 'man cave'. The best bit is the fitting out!≈

Nice looking shed Greg. Wind and water tight now so inside at your leisure during any kind of weather.

That's looking good, it's like a stadium! Time now to make it yours and a no-go zone for household 'tat' 😁
