Are you going to give the ceiling a lick of paint to keep it nice and bright in there?



Yes it was a right pain but it's worth it.

It's funny you say about the painting lol.

Nothing is impossible it just costs more and takes longer.

Sure thing mate the floor has been down for 7 days and I have not even walked on it.

Thanks mate.


Next on the list is to get it wired up to the house, and start fitting it out with the stuff, but like rob has said I am planning on leaving the floor to go into full cure, as I have aplyed 3 coats it says it should be 3days for full cure at 20c however this is doubled as the temperature has been around 10c.

I have some more work to do on the fascias and get them fitted, then the outside is done.

I can honestly say there has been a lot to learn on this build and as We have done 99% of the work are selfs to keep costs down as no one will look after your money better then your self lol.

Well it's been a wile but it don't mean I am not working away on the play house.

First of all I needed a good bench, so I had been thinking of how I wanted it for a wile and this is what I came up with.

I ordered the steel pre cut to add in the building of it, I got it built in two days. The only thing I had to cut was the 5mm steel for the worktop.

Then it was on to the other side aka the back wall, lots more thought has been going into this side as I have been doing some up cycling. I started with the lathe stand.

I got a bit more done tonight but never got any pictures.

Have you had to do anything as regards planning permission? Or sweeten the neighbours? Looks a really proper job
