End of an era start of a new one

Well after 15 years my lease was up on my workshop and the powers that be won’t extend it, so what do I do? 2 choices realy, first one is retire and sit in my rocking chair pissing me knickers and dribbling until I snuff it , or start again,  we’ll it wasn’t rocket science and the decision was made. 😂

And 2.5 weeks later

And 2.5 weeks later and a lot of hard work from my boy KARL and his mate Nick I’ve ended up with a workshop you could only dream of.

 No doubt you'll soon fill it up.

Good choice you made Nigel.  But did you really need all that room for your rocking chair. ?  And I see you have already pissed on the floor.    Now you need to find enough stuff to fill the spare space.

BTW. I hope your going to insulate it. Other wise freeze in the winter and cook in the summer.

Mount a 45 gallon steel drum on it's side, just above it. Chimney into one end and an outlet one on the other. That will get heated as well.

Well I lit my fire this morning and with in 5. Minutes the condensation on the roof started dripping every where 🙄 so now I will have to bite the bullet and lag and board the roof, more bloody expence

Well done Nigel. An awesome building/workshop to turn out your awesome projects in   . As for condensation, looks like there is still a lot of moisture to remove before it's fully dry at this time of year.

Wish you many happy hours in it.

Very nice Nigel. Perhaps you could have the whole inside sprayed with the foam used on potato storage barns, I don’t know what the cost would be, but I do know in my farmer mates barns, it’s very effective!
