ok here are todays photos wookshop porn, today i have started to point the walls on the inside

Damn, stone buildings are cool. Well, until you need to insulate, electrify, plumb, add doors, expand, or stuff like that. Then they're cool PITA's. I hope your work goes well on that.

smart,looking forwrd to the progress

 

[Fromey]

Corrr, get a load of the exposed beams on that one!

Well it certainly has a rustic finish to it on the inside. Re-pointing would be my first move as well. Are you going to leave the stonework exposed as a feature or line the walls?

 

[joiner_sim]

If you finish this correctly and to a high standard, I think you will have a very beautiful looking workshop!

 

[jasdon79]

hi i am going to point the wall not render them

but bad news today all the timbers are full of woodworm and apart from the a frames thay all need new ones i can do all the woodwork myself but not the roofing. i had a quote for 4-5 grand for all the roofs to be done in slate as a lot of them are weak and broken so i'm going to take them all off and put up green box profile instead thats only 1589 for all the sheets and fixings not as nice as slate but thats life bye for now (hammer)

in slate as a lot of them are weak and broken )

TBH from the pictures (and they show reasonable detail) most like perfectly useable.

Hello Jason

I think Dibs is right.

I'm retired so I'm time rich and cash poor.

If it was mine, I'd recover the slate and see how much was reuseable. Take one off and make sure it's a standard size that you can still get locally.

Then felt it and replace the laths. As long as you get the lath spacing right, fitting the slate isn't that difficult and it's only a single storey so scaffolding it shouldn't be too expensive, if you don't fancy climbing off ladders.

One thing to think about is how flat the plane of the roof is. From the pic's it looks a bit uneven, which is OK with slates, but a big flat sheet of metal might be a bit awkward.

Good luck with it, whatever you decide.

Cheers

Dave

 

[jasdon79]

thank you for your advice but its the cost of the reslating that i just cant aford the back of the barn is in a much worse state i will all pics tomorrow

Are the roof sheets you intend to use single skin or the insulated sandwich type, kingspan I think is the trade name. I did all mine with insulated and it makes it really warm in the cold weather.

 

[jasdon79]

i'm going to use single skin and than use the kingspan sheets between the rafters much cheeper the sheets are 1769 with fittings and the insulated ones would cost 4567.

It would be a great shame not to reuse the slates perhaps you could slate the front face and use a man made product/slate for the rear. If you do not use the slates the roofer will just collect them up and sell them.
Roofing work is quite easy once the supporting timbers are in place
Note also timbers can be treated for worm and strengthened if not to far gone.
