The ‘suck’ from that is quite good, and will clear the waste away from the machines Just fine. Just be mindful that it only filters down to 30micron, anything under 5 micron is the really nasty stuff, so you should be wearing PPE if you are working near it as you have concentrated the finer...

With space being a major consideration I would go for perhaps the record Camvac which can be tucked under a bench for static tools, but still portable. If you can site a larger one and can duct the workshop, the use this type. If you need to have it in the space with you, a canister filter is...

Second fix electrical finished, although sparky is not now coming till Monday to test and connect. Middle door removed for paint work, architraves all primed and undercoated . Stainless top here now to build the welding bench in the dirty room, need to remove the top, discard the legs and...

My 30sqm new build is going to come in at a tad over £8000. But a quarter of that is materials that were specified under planning and added £2300+ to the build cost. :(

No, no hols at all in mine. The hole is to take a self sealing screw down through for the dry ridge system into a central 2x1. A vented ridge tile is a different beast.

Work out from middle to the verges for setting out maybe, but not for laying them. You would end up crawling all over the slates trying to do the middle ten rows! If they could have been laid like that I wouldn’t have had such a trial at the end of my second side. You start at one end or the...

How are you going to start tiling without putting the fascia on first? You’ll have nothing to carry the lower edge. And the verge? Have you worked out how/where that will finish, as it will be where you put your very first slate. Your battens look right at the bottom, are you running a...

My duo ridge are identical to that, except I don’t have any holes in the top. Hence I used four 60mm per tile. These pictured are for use with the Marley dry ridge vent system. A roll of vent strip Is stuck to the slates, steel supports for a centre 2x1 batten, and then these ridge tiles...

I used these, worked perfect with predrilled 6mm holes. Screwfix Tec screws. From Marley

It honestly never crossed my mind to run a pipe down there, but it’s 35m, a lot of digging. :( Using the trunking they all bolt together with the couplers and they take the knocks of a workshop better. It’s not a beauty contest, and somehow these look more in keeping. Every one is earthed as...

I have a cold roof with closed in fascia. No ventilation going past eaves other than the vent strips.

Congratulations, now you can really start making plans. :D

Now, to qualify that, I did say with mine I had the ceiling joists to work off. I was standing between the rafters on boards on the ceiling joists, It was really easy. Now, if I’d had the rafters closed off with OSB and insulation, I would have worked from the bottom and laid battens to work...

I achieved nothing today, I walked out, looked at it and turned round and went back n. To achieve that in 30C+ is a superb effort, at least you can take tomorrow off knowing all will be pretty well protected. You kinda want it to rain now you’ve done the work. :D

On mine I did the top down route (page 9?) I found it easy to lay the membrane across from the ridge first, leaving the bottom foot or so free of fixings. When laying the next piece down it is relatively simple to position and then fix the overlap. There’s a clear 150mm marking along both...

Superb progress. Interior space looks amazing. =D> =D>

They do all deliveries via pallet line and make no discrimination whether it’s a lorry load or a tin of edge paint. Shouldn’t be a problem, even if it’s a trip out. Will know in the morning if WSM have any as I’m going there next week anyway. I knew the 100 board order was tight, but it...

This cladding lark is going slower than anticipated :( First this was to fit all the edge and bottom trims in place to carry the board ends. Fiddly, but does make for a decent finish. I managed two of the four wall sections, the sloping section was just so time consuming to mark, cut and fix...

I think the inside will probably take longer to evolve than the building took to make. I’ve so many things I want to put in place that all need custom making, I don’t think there will be time this year to do any hobby making. :wink: Size wise I was used to a 18sqm vaulted workshop, which was...
