I will be ready to build the new floor and extend the brew shed 3 mtr long x 2.5 wide .......I will prefab the wall frames then fix and fit the roof joists then sheet off ( the steel profile sheeting arrived at 9 a.m. today ) I still have all the insulation left over from the house build , plenty to do the job ,roof,floor and walls I will line all the inside with 12 mm ply .... cut in a inner doorway from the brew shed into the extension and away to go. Will rip into it next Monday , as for the solar setup ......wild child said not now but ok after Christmas .....well she actually said something quite different regarding her kitchen area and to close to Christmas and loosing my marbles .......so my take still stands . “ ok chaps let them have it “ RE: What have done towards your prep? - Straight Shooter - 28 December 2020 Had a good day today ! Removed the poly tunnel stripped out the electrics ......then levelled up the ground with the digger ......cut and levelled in the timber ring beam to form the outline of the building , fitted the dp membrane and marked up all the joist centres , I will drop them in tomorrow and lay the insulation and drop the floor sheeting I will crack on with the walls and roof joists Wednesday and sheet all the external by this coming weekend ....so long as the weather holds up !
