A lot going on in this episode. lol.
First a confession.
My beautiful base is too big. I put the panels up to them and there was a massive gap. A quick telephone call to the supplier. I discovered I had used the wrong dimensions for the base’s construction. It was an easy mistake seeing as they did not give dimensions for the base on the web.
Anyhow, a little bit of sawing and some pure genius thinking solved the problem.
I managed to build it on my own. Would have been easier with some help I am sure, but shows it can be done….
On with the build….
Friday 19 April
Sprayed the panels that I would not be able to get at after the shed is built.
It was when doing this I discovered my error in sizing the floor.
This pic just shows the resizing I managed to do quite easily. I tell you I was very annoyed.
Saturday 20 April
Laid floor
First Panels fitted.
The back would have some floor exposed, so I sanded it so any water would drain. All round the shed the bottom of the panels and the floor are “glued” with DPC paint.
All walls built and in place.
Roofing
Completed but naked
Final job of the day a coat of paint!
Door closing is just a bit of wood. Need to source a nice strong set of hinges and a nice slide bolt to close the doors.
Glad it was a sunny day
Tomorrow second coat of paint and add the glazing.
Now I am off for a shower and a beer or three…
