With the rest of my holiday I then headed over to North Wales. My mum has a place up in the mountains near Ruthin. The local wildlife and scenery is amazing and my sons love adventuring in the garden. I bought an Oregon (Stanley branded) chainsaw and began working my way through some of the...

Went to Portugal on holiday, received a free hire car upgrade but was a bit unimpressed by the Mitsubishi we ended up with, it had some nice features but seemed to not be very well built. Only front wheel drive and an asthmatic 1.6 diesel engine didn't make it very capable on the local dirt...

After the plumbing work was finished there were a few more copper pipes to pull out of the house, but that were only accessible from the ceiling in the garage. For whatever reason when the central heating was extended into the bedroom above the garage the pipes were laid under the joists. The...

Looking good. Quite the transformation from where you started! As you say, better to transfer the gap in the boards at the floor where they will be out of sight. Do you have any drywall offcuts that could be cut and used to plug the current mid-wall gap? One other thought. In your sketchup...

Great looking space, I think you made the right call to keep those Lista cabinets. A great addition to your shop space.

Very nice setup - lots of potential for development of your garage workshop. Looks like it might need a few repairs to the floor :devil:

Thanks for sharing the pictures from Indianapolis Motor Speedway looks like it was a very special day. Great opportunity to see some legends of motorsport too!

Just catching up. Loving the updates. If it was me, then I am not sure I would be happy with this: I would be considering redoing this with a longer section of box tubing so that the LCAs have at least an inch of material on the outside of their location. I'd also consider putting in a crush...

What an inspiring thread. Quality builds, amazing photography and a great story to go along with it. Looking forward to the next update...

That tile floor... looks amazing! Great choice!

Re: 10x22 Project - Operation 'Officina Desmo' Nice woodworking on that bench. What is the rest of the space like?

Wow, amazing location and a huge space. Definitely one to follow... looking forward to further updates! Great build so far.

Thanks for the positive comments and support. Yeah, it looked bad in the photos but the main frame turned out to be in okay shape overall once it was cleaned up. The previous owners did not look after the place so a lot of what we have done in the 18 months we've had he property has been...

Wishing 1/2 Cup a speedy recovery and return to regular updates to keep us all entertained!

Sorry to hear about the cancer, hope your checks remain clear. Not a good thing to have hanging over you, but best to focus on the positive things in life that take your mind off the health issues. In terms of photos, I'd recommend you get a Flickr account it's about $50 for the year

Some great progress on this shop, each update seems to be a massive step forwards and it's looking good! What was the deal with the aged wood being sanded in the earlier photo?

Just read the whole thread. Great vision and implementation - I think the end product is looking great so far!

After nearly a year found time to do some more frame repairs and get the siding on the shed. I'd already taken off the remaining old siding and started some of the prep work earlier in the summer: It was then time to cut out the rot and add in some new material. Had to jack up the roof to...

Wow that looks great!

Some progress in that we had the heating system replumbed. Last April we had a new boiler and all the pipework replaced. This year we replaced all the downstairs pipework. There was a leak in the pressurised system so it was letting out water somewhere and losing pressure. Enough for the boiler...
