Moving shop again (again)...
PekkaNF:
Panel carry is good. We had two and two panels are at a time are fine if there are no stairs. There are fancier models, but simple ones seem to work best on real world.
He has to screw them on the roof, he is going to borrow a panel lift.

Come on Ade - you're a software whiz, and you've now got a CNC lathe. Bar feeder + a set of G-code macros + random-number front end = press the button and lathe will churn out a set of fruit! Far more fun than watching pictures of fruit on painted wheels.

LOL! An interesting prospect for sure.... but that does involve getting the CNC lathe to work, currently not feasible... Still, there's plenty of other jobs to be getting along with.
So... this week I picked up the window, and discovered they'd measured it wrong :palm: Fortunately, the height is good, and the window is narrower than the opening I made for it, so it fits right in. I'll make another "cripple stud" to run up alongside it, and no-one will ever know. Then, whilst manoevering a sheet of plasterboard, I managed to knock into one of the end walls, nudging it off the floor and down below :zap: Oh well, I needed to extend it anyway, as I'd made it about a foot too short...
Anyway, the upshot of this weekends labours is this:
This building lark isn't as easy as I thought it would be! Still, it's all more-or-less square and straight, +/- about 1/2 inch. Although as we can see, the window isn't quite spot on:
The vendor's listing said 2500mm wide, actually it's 2050mm. Doh! Easy mistake to make I suppose.
Also missing: One door...
I'm not planning an "L" shaped door, but the one I have on order I'm a bit concerned about the height - just 1975mm. If it really IS only that high, then I'll be banging my head walking through it... I need at least 2.1m height for safe entry! I suppose I could just screw a 125mm extension to the bottom of it, once it's all painted, no-one will ever know... :loco:
Insulation would be the next conundrum.... it ain't cheap, specifically I reckon I could easily spend as much as I've already spent, and that's buying the cheap stuff. If I went for building code stuff, it'd be double again... Or do I just by pass the electric meter & run the heating 24x7....... :lol:
Anyway, that's it for a couple of weeks, business trip next weekend, any readers local to Orlando?

:thumbup: Nice shop, makes my new place look rather small :drool: :drool:
PekkaNF:
Do you need keep warm very big place? I would keep only a "hut" inside that structure warm and use residual heat to keep rest of the structure dry.
