Krys' Garage

The end is now slowly taking shape & becoming more weatherproof, this afternoon we fitted some cladding above the windows, as well as the window cill. It was a nice aftertnoon, but the boards kept splitting!

Krys' Garage

Another on-going project is a garage/workshop at the bottom of my son's garden. They were lucky in that the previous owner had laid a concrete slab which was just asking for something to be built on it! For ease & speed of construction we opted for a timber frame prefabricated in sections & errected on a dwarf wall three courses high.

There was another criteria it had to meet... the cost had to be as close to zero as humanly possible!

Bricks & glass (frecycle), sand/cement (damaged bags from DIY stores), studs & plates (either factory waste or recovered & comb-joined, 50p/m) cladding f/edge boards (recycled from pallets & existing shed) roof material TBA... corrugated iron?

This morning we made the most of the wearther & started fixing the cladding on the long side... got half way up...

The Dover Project

Much of today was spent researching the potential house building project in Dover. The guy at the Building Control desk was really helpful & answered most of my (what must have seemed to him, stupid) questions as well as alerting me to other factors which I didn't even know about! I've just got to do the sums... oh & decide if I want to go ahead!!
