Well there it is in all its glory, small I know but that is all the space we have as we also have a double garage behind that (now a games room) lol!!
Just got to start on the ceder cladding and slating the roof. | |

I hope to move into a place with at least a 2.5 in the spring. | |

Nothing sucks more than nicks and dings you put on the car yourself. | |

Need to cut the dry wall just shy of the concrete so it doesn't absorb any moisture during the floor being bare and paint if you get what I mean.
Ill keep you guys updated, just need a good day to sheet it all and start on the roof. | |

Join Date: Sep 2004 Location: Glasgow, Scotland Posts: 594 | OK, well not a lot has been done.
I borrow my dads builders and joiners to keep cost down and the quality high.
The roof has been sheeted and the roofing felt applied, some strengthing but thats about it.
A door is waiting to be put in and three windows, then the up and over door.  
This is where the door will go and also a glimpse of the baby. 
I may sheet some of the roof inside for storage.
But thats it so far!! | |
