cor give him some time to enjoy the hard work, before the worry starts :lol: :lol:
but you are right what with those open fields and obviously an old
roadway at the back to entrance the previous garage/pit
motion sensors, a bloody great light, and numerous locks are important.
especially the light.

Don't be so sure. There was a brilliant series on BBC T/V called "Beat the Burglar" with Dominic some-one-or-other and an ex-burglar called Mike Fraser in which, with the owners agreement, Mike Fraser would burgle their house to show how easy it was. On a few occasions the owners would say they were not worried because they had a dog - some of them potentially quite vicious. In most cases he stole the dog as well :shock: :shock:
If you ever get a chance, and it's repeated, do watch the series - it's a real eye-opener :wink:

Sunday is a day of rest mate, good enough for god, good enough for me ;-)
Tomorrow will see me cutting all the frame peices to length, tuesday will see me take delivery of the screws that I forgot to order earlier and the frames going together, after that it's a case of waiting for the cladding to arrive.

Agreed - I paid about £28 for an alarm from Homebase. I also fitted a Chubb mortice lock on the door and as an additional measure I could have also fitted some wire panels on the inside of the double glazed units - saves the cost of wired DG units :shock: :shock: :shock: - Rob

Sounds like a good idea Rob, i'll bare that in mind.
Day 7
Ok, so work today is going to start by cutting all my frame pieces to length, should take most of the day.
I got a call back from the woodyard about the cladding, bad news, the longest length they can do is 5.1m but I need a minimum of 5.5m - any ideas on how to get round this, i don't really want a join or am I just going to have to accept it?

After advice from Jason a few months back I bought a £15 alarm from Homebase work well - make a noise but I went a little further. Put a llock in each side of the tilting door channel so the door does not move and replaced the door lock with a better one and finally
This is for the power tools - I figured they would not want to carry the heavy tools

Barry, like the idea - I was thinking of something on the same lines. I have a very large filing cabinet that I might use for the power tools, and I was thnking of installing it inside a strong wooden cabinet, and anchoring it the floor, the hand-tools will be probably be also locked away in some form of lockable cabinet.. plenty to think about!!
Ok, so after speaking to the woodman, i'm going to go for some joins on the shiplap, but in such a way that it's staggerd, so looks like part of the design, this has helped me reduce the wastage considerably, and the cladding has come out £110 cheaper than my first calculations, and there's a high chance it might get delivered on tuesday, so all hands to the pumps!!

Day 7 Summary
Didn't get a great deal done today, but managed to get one of the frames almost complete before I ran out of screws. Here's a pic of the frame standing up to give an idea of the head room:
And from the side:
Screwfix delivery just this minute arrived, which was annoying as we have just put the taupalin over the work and packed up for the night. However, I'm now equiped to get all the frames built tomorrow - purchased 700 screws so should be no worries about running out.
Cladding is due tomorrow aswell which is a nice bonus. And to help me put the cladding on, I purchased a Rexon compressor and air nailer/stapler kit, which has worked out about the same price as hiring a machine, and the benefit is I get to use the compressor for other uses - like spraying guitars etc...
Tomorrow so should see some fairly rapid development!

I engraved my post code onto all my power tool and then photo'd them onto the PC. I also took a photo of all my hand tools (planes etc) for security purposes, though I think that power tools would probably be what any casual tea leaf might be after - Rob

Day 8
Early start today, got the first frame from yesterday finished off, then the second side frame finished, and the rear frame is nearly done, just needs a couple rows of noggins and then onto the left-hand side frames.
Progress is much better today, the weather is cool with a light breeze, and it's dry. Cladding hasn't arrived yet, so i;m thinking it won't turn up till thursday, which is actually quite good as it gives me time to get all the frames finished and raised (bar the left-frame). It also gives me time to test out the new rexon compressor and nailgun kit.
Summary and photos to follow.

Day 8 Summary
All but one frame has be completed. No photos today as frames are flat on the base, not much of a photo.
Cladding arrived late this afternoon - very chuffed about that.
Tomorrow will see the completion of the last frame, cladding and painting of the left-hand frame, and hopefully cladding of the other frames.
Thursday will see the raising of the frames and the roof going on, any cladding and paiting that needs doing will also be done.
Friday will see the completion of the structure, lose ends tidied up, windows and doors temporary closed with sheeting until next pay day.

HI Lugo
Glad you enjoying the thread, it's certainly a good experience sharing the build with the forum.
As far as costs go, I would probably say that it's cost more than £900 and will probably go a little higher than that, and thats without costing in the vapour barrier, insulation and boarding out of the inside, or the costs of the doors, windows, electricity and security - all of which I'll have to do in the next couple of months as I need to wait a few more pay cheques!
Once i've finished this stage of the build (structure) I'll post a complete run down of costs, materials used and what I chose for what part of the job and why.
In terms of cladding, I used wood, and that was at £1.20 a meter and I've ordered over 280M of it, so thats where the biggest cost has gone, but thats for some nice tongue and groove shiplap.
