After much deliberation and also the fact that my single garage space no longer cut's it. I have had to find a new workshop space. It is a farm building that has plenty of scope and I have seen worse. The landlord is replacing a flat roof which is shot and also sorting out the few other leaks. The inside is okay but needs some work to get it to where I want it.
It hase 4 doors of which two are going to be bricked up and it has 3 nice windows to get as much natrual light in as possible.
In the above picture you can see the main area and the large side room to the right of the picture.
Looking fully into the large side room, this is one of the doors which will be bricked up.
This is the overhang where my lathe will go, once I have encapsulated the asbestos cement profile sheets and I have put a lenght of panneling with security mesh where the skylights are.
This is where I will be moving the completed furniture from as it is the widest doorway. I aim to replace the guttering all the way around the building, paint the windows inside and out. I have the steel to make bespoke window grills of each of the three windows. I very good friend is to do the welding for me. Another friend is doing the brickwork and pointing.
I will be replacing all of the electrics and consumer unit and I will add the commando sockets and 8 5foot twin light battens. I will also be installing a security alarm and 4 camera recording CCTV. The only thing I need to get is two door grills fot the remaining two door, as I already have some prety serious locks. I have three months free rent time to get this all done by, so should be fun, but busy.
At the weekend I picked up 55 concrete block and got three bags of cement dust thrown in as well. I sourced 525 red bricks but could only manage to take 3/4 of them about 350, pick the rest up next saturday.
I have already started to clean and hover up/off all of the spiderwebs. The family are going to help with the painting and gardening bits, as I will be doing the electrics and doing up the store and outside toilet (attached). Once it is done, security added and insurance redone I will then start to move stuff over. It will be so nice to have space again to swing a cat
