A shot of the inside with my tools inside but still needs electrics and interior cladding yet.

Just to show it's not all work and no play, here I am relaxing in the hammock after a hard day working on the workshop.

Hi mailee

That looks wonderful. All you need now is a hatch so that you can get to the cold beers. :lol:

Cheers

Impressive, is it your own design as well or did you work from plans?

That looks like its going to give you a lot of fun

Dont forget to put a telephone in, as it looks a bit of walk back and forward to the house

Very nice! Can I ask what you suspended the floor on? Did you lay a concrete pad or are the posts in the first groundwork photo what supports the floor?

Cheers,

Steve.

Well thanks for the comments guys. Yes I am very pleased with it as you can imagine. To answer your questions, The floor is laid on 6x2 joists supported by 15 concrete footings which are 18" sq and around 18" deep. I do have the workshop alarmed with a good system and I also have a phone installed in there too, good for calling up for coffee. The whole thing was my brainchild and I drew up my own plans With Turbocad and worked from those. Will post some more pictures later when I have more time.

Great stuff, looks very very nice, not only from a workshop point of view but in terms of having a structure in your garden!

Fantastic workshop, look forward to seeing the kit in it, my only comment is to change the alarm box to something plain or buy one from your local alarm company with ""Local" alarm company written on it ...I spent 3 months of my enforced garden leave helping the community and one of the young kids i tried to help gave me a great insight into security systems not least the impression they have of Wickes/Maplin/Argos systems...hope it helps

 

[mailee]

Thanks Tony, I shall take heed of that and do something about the box. I hadn't even thought of that mate. I should have guessed that kidss nowadays are well informed and technofobes, even the unsavoury ones. :wink:
