Hi Peeps

I've nearly completely finished my workshop after a year of working on it. It was water tight in about 2 weeks but the cladding, painting etc is the bit that dragged on, particularly as I was having to use it for various things the whole time. Just waiting for electrics now and then I'm done.

Clearing the brambles.

Some tastefully done icicles. Although they do show the drip edge off nicely.

Nearing the end, walls and ceiling painted.

My first workbench, I'll do a thread on that later.

This looks like a great space, I really like the windows all the way round, lots of light and it looks great!

Will you be insulating it at all do you think?

I am at a similar point with mine, shell is built but now finding an electrician to run power to it, and reading all the threads on here to workout cable and circuit sizing!!
 
Yeah I’m really pleased with it. It’s about 3m by 6m so I can comfortably swing a 2.4m 2by4 around if I’m careful. I have no plans to insulate at present. Once I have electrics I’ll use a dehumidifier to control the humidity in the winter. Maybe a frost thermostated heater too. Got a few machines in there, a planer thicknesses, a bandsaw, a chip extractor and a small bench drill. More than enough for the kind of projects I have planned. Current items is an A frame chicken house to replace the current one..
 
If you are wanting to use a dehumidifier look for a desiccant type. This will work at low temperatures where is the ones based on a refrigeration element wont.
