New Tractor Shed
awemawson:
Major progress today :thumbup:
We started shifting two 8-wheeler lorry loads of soil round to the back of the shed to form a platform that Darren can run his access platform on when putting up the side cladding.
Then at last the roof - hooray :clap:
First shift all the sheets from where stored on my loading bay, then bit by bit, sheet by sheet, the roof began to grow
awemawson:
Where four adjacent sheets overlap, at the corner you would end up with a treble thickness, whereas two layers are what we want. The solution is to cut the sheets at an angle
awemawson:
Then it was onwards and upwards sheet after sheet.
By the end of the day (21:30) the roof is practically finished except for the sheets at the extreme front where they need to be cut to size along their length.
Also extra screw down fixings needed to make everything gale-proof.
Forecast for tomorrow is fine early on and rain later so time only will show what we can get done
charadam:
Tell you what - it was bloody boring over the last few days!
Welcome back.
awemawson:
As I feared the weather was not kind to us today - drizzling from the start. Before the rain got too bad (luckily) I took delivery of the 6"x 2" timbers to form the shuttering around the outside of the shed for when the floor is poured, fifty 'ground pegs' to locate the shuttering timbers, and three more lengths of underground drain for the gullies taking the rain from the roof. Also an 8 x 4 of 'water and boil proof' 18mm ply to mount the electrical distribution board onto the Z Purlins.
Quite to my surprise Darren arrived and started cutting sheets lengthways to finish off the bit at the front of the shed that we left last night.
He got them up and fixed but the rain then became somewhat heavier so he went home to do some book keeping.
