Moving shop again (again)...
awemawson:
I think Wickes hire them out
AdeV:
Thanks for the kind offer Pete - unfortunately, the distance is prohibitive - I'd pay more in petrol than if I bought one!
Andrew - I'll check this morning, I'm about to head to Wickes for a bit more wood & plasterboard... for 3x2 stud & drywall, Wickes are cheaper even than the big builder's merchants.
awemawson:
.... and I'm afraid that their low timber prices are reflected in the quality of the stuff they sell :bugeye:
PekkaNF:
That is a lot of space...some work you have left.
Helpped yesterday my brother, We had to move over 20 hard plasterboards 13x1200x2600 mm i.e. about 35 kg each. Some distance and then negotiate upstairs and then around the corner.....
Pekka
AdeV:
A little more progress today, all the ceiling joists (for the main part of the office) are up; only 3 left to do, but until I build the door frame, I can't put them in place; and I can't build the door frame until I know how big the door is.... just waiting on the measurements from the seller, and another few bits of timber from Wickes. Andrew - I agree, they're not exactly the best wood I've ever worked with, but as far as I am concerned all wood is inhabited by evil spirits which cause splinters, splitting, warping, twisting and other nefarious effects. Oh, and why is it there's always a knot just where you need to saw/drill/screw the damn stuff? Give me metal any day of the week, at least it behaves relatively consistently. So long as you don't have to weld it of course...
Pekka.... I feel your pain.... I have approx 50 sheets of drywall, about the same size, to manhandle upstairs. At least I don't have to worry about corners though! Then there's another 14 or so sheets of OSB to go up to form the roof, and a big roll of EPDM to spread over that.... this is to contain the remaining small leaks which continue to plague the roof.
After that, there is the relatively minor job of carpet tiling the entire room, fitting all the electrics, fitting the beer pump :bugeye: the dartboard, leveling the pool table, searching ebay for a fruit machine.... :lol:
I suppose I ought to carry on building my racing car at some point!
