Late last year I moved all my stuff out of my old garage and into an outbuilding ready to start demolition of the garage and building the new shop. I thought long and hard about how to store it all and put the expected least needed items at the back. Now it is all trashed as I continually waded through all my stuff to get to items I never thought I would need....:unsure:

There's no chance to do that in mine, it's too tightly packed 😂
 
What a tiring but successful weekend, the old Boat Shed has gone and now onto the more subtle skills needed for the new bike shed & workshop - Design, Specification, Project Management, Levels and Setting Out. Then I can get back on my tools
😎

How big is your new shed?

Mine is 10 x30ft

2/3 freezer lawnmowers & cycles - confirmed Roadie +4 kids!

1/3 is my workshop.

Feels like I need more space!

Cheers James

It'll be just under 30m2, now the old shed is down I can finalise plans to comply with permitted development. Plan is to rebuild at approx 90 degrees to the original making sure I keep clear of the weeping silver birch.
 
Nice progress. Goes fairly fast soon!!
Thanks DBT85, it'll be even better once we get into the carpentry, all timber, OSB and insulation now ordered and deliveries/storage booked.

Storey height rod & door frame set up over the weekend to allow us to get an idea of the height of the new building.

Beam and block floor complete, ready now for a few courses of facings to the perimeter.

Groundworkers off site for now just need to pin down a bricklayer !!

PS. Our garden is my wife's pride and joy and although slightly smaller is being relatively unaffected, we both just need to come to terms with the change of view.
 
A bit of a photo catch up on my garage/workshop project, slow progress but things are now back on track.
Half brick thick plinth to dpc level
