Darren:
I suppose I should have moved those potted conifers out of the way, I was actually kneeling down to take that photo.... :lol:
You sussed it :clap:
Stilldrillin:
Very good job very well done there Darren! :clap:
As for midges, (Derbyshire variety). Herself is always bitten, while they ignore me....... :clap: :)
Can`t say I blame `em! :thumbup:

A little done to the frontage yesterday by cladding the top apex.
Two tiny pieces of timber short :bang:
All glued and pinned through the tongues....mind you, I suffered badly last night with my dodgy hip due to all the up and down the ladders.... :(
Nice to see it coming along though, need to add the last two bits and trim the bottom edge... :)
bogstandard:
It's coming along real well now Darren, bet you can't wait to get in there.
Make the last job you do the piece of something fixed to the floor to seal the bottom of the doors against.
Get your machines in first, to save all the lifting hassle to get over it.
It was that bit that caused the major problems when I was getting the machines into my shop. It took us over an hour to get the mill over a 1" high piece of wood.

Darren:
Hi John,
My floor will be about 6" higher than the drive because my drive is a deep slope coming down to a flatter area. All the rain currently runs down the drive and into the garage.
I may put a storm Chanel drainage in front of the doors and a gentle slope up to the floor height. Also I have fitted a huge beam across the doorway for lifting heavy items in and indeed out of the trailer.
You're right, when I moved my lathe into the house I had to negotiate a 5mm step. You would not believe the difficulties this cause getting the lathe over it without being able to use any lifting gear... :bang:
I almost had to give up. Same problems will come getting it out again.... :doh:
I found sections of thin MDF helped.
