The start of a new man cave

Looking good. Have a day (or two) off & enjoy the festivities.

Yes it's a day off today so you all have a very merry christmas wherever you are. I'm looking forward to eating too much, getting wrong for farting too much (sprouts & stuffing - a deadly combo for me) and then snoring too much while everyone tries vainly to hear the TV of some Cinnamon Swirle show they want to watch.

Happy Christmas

Back into action on Boxing day, the Mrs is at work from 10:00 to 17:00 so I thought I'd get a bit built in the garage. So it's 2 x shelves (bolted together to make them super sturdy) and my 'heavy duty' work bench. It's OK but I may sort out a better work top. Electrics tomorrow.

Great work just what Boxing Day is for   

Just as well you are on your own today with all the sprouts & the stuffing farts 

Me and the wife have both be suffering the same today because of those pesky sprouts & stuffing

 No rest for the wicked, so I must have been Vlad the Impaler in a former life... But, today I have finished the garage ceiling. It is now end to end UPVC cladding. The garage already feels soooo much warmer and I still have some more insulation to roll out in the loft. Having a day off the build tomorrow as I'm out on the lash having a quiet meal with friends. The 'T' Piece above the garage door is holding the UPVC in place while it bonds overnight.

Getting really close now !

Loving this  NorthumBryan  you are making a proper job of it 

Enjoy your meal with friends   

[Mick B]

  cracking job.
Enjoy your piss up! 

[NorthumBryan]

It's getting close now, the lockers are in, I've had to relocate my new wall heater back to where the old one was (I knew there was a reason why I put it there in the first place...) and I've finished the electrics. I should have the last rack moved back in tomorrow along with the Tigger. I shall take several pictures at this momentous er moment and post accordingly.

All the very best for 2022 everyone

You have almost motivated me to go out and tidy my sheds up........ Almost.

It's in the final stages now, best bit is the shipping container is completely empty and ready to be collected on the 4th. I've got a bit of rearranging to be done and a set of cupboards to go above the bench but that's tomorrows job. The white strip on the floor is surplus UPVC cladding which is to go back for a refund. Some pics of events so far -

Cheers Mick, appreciated 

[Asmith61]

Cracking job    (not jealous at all )   

[NorthumBryan]

Cheers, it's been a lot of hard work. Really looking forward to seeing the back of that damn shipping container however.

Or, more accurately,  not seeing the side of it?
