Fellow wood-butchers, I require some of your insight. I've been pushing the boundaries of my small shed too far and now i'm in desperate need of more workspace.
I have a garage that's in my back-garden, and its a fair size, a little larger than a single-car garage, and I wish to convert this to a workshop. The construction of this building as it currently stands is a breeze block frame with timber roof joists, clad with asbestos roof-sheeting.
The floor is just concrete and there is currently no insulation. There is electric however.
What I need to know is, what is the best way of converting this to a workshop so that the temperature remains consistent and are there any issues I need to think about with regards the floor (I don't fancy working on concrete).
The roof currently just overhangs the walls, so there is a 2-3" gap between the walls and roof, how should I board and insulate this without removing the asbestos roofing sheets and putting on a proper roof?
Also, are there any resources that can help me work out my layout as i've not really got any idea of how to space things out to make a comfortable working space.
Any hints and tips will be greatly received.
