Darrens new workshop
Darren:
Is a tumble dryer not a machine then Stew :scratch:
Darren, (never anyone else and rarely himself either)
Divided he ad:
Darren.... Looking good, but one thing..... DO NOT, that is NOT concreate the frame legs into the floor....I take hundreds of these things out a year.
you see, the wood will wick the water up and rot faster than you can whistle dixie, and another thing, if you do want to alter /change anything in future it's a nightmare to get the bugŁ$rs out!!! :bang:
seriously, cut the legs so that they are suspended 3mm or so off the finished floor, they'll last a lot longer!
but as said, the doors are looking good... :thumbup:
Ralph.
John Stevenson:
Agreed, when we moved in where we are now the workshop door frames were all rotten, dug them out and replaced then with some good reclaimed 6" x 2"
Only lasted about 12 years and these buggers went rotten. By that time the doors were going and they wanted highering anyway,
so supported the end of the building and stuck a big RSJ across. Put some 4" x 2" steel uprights in and then offered a 2" x 2" up to the side of it and welded 4 hinges onto it. Then welded the rest of the door onto the 2 x 2", did the same with the other door and surprise, surprise they fitted exact :clap:
Panelled in with 19mm exterior ply and a couple of braces in 2 x 2" steel.

Darren:
Noted chaps, I was thinking that the frame lowers would be in concrete with visqueen protecting from the damp.
But thinking about the comments, the frame is exposed to the outside elements and water will run down into the floor.
Thus almost permanently damp in that area.
They shall be felled "at once"
Thanks for the tip :thumbup:

It looks big enough for a tumble drier, or is it going to be a machine only zone
