Im no expert but by mositure barrier do you mean vapour barrier. I have nearly completed my workshop and I have followed the plan that is provided on how to build a workshop mikes way (the post is pinned to the workshop builds and tours forum) I followed his diagram to a t except I put in a...

Im wanting to put pattress boards in between the stud partitions on the top half of my workshop build before I board the walls. Im doing all of it at the top so I know I can hang and put stuff where I want in the future as not 100% on layout yet. Also just so I dont solely have to rely on the...

I like the idea of a particulate sensor. Any you know off that would work via wifi and have the temp and RH included aswell. I want something that records all the data so I can analyse throughout the year. Thanks

Yes I did see this one but im looking more for one with a WIFI connection as I dont trust bluetooth as even though it would be in range per say. I dont think it would work with having to go through my house stone walls then garage and then through to my workshop lol. Would like it so its always...

I want to get a digital temperature reader for my workshop. My question is what other functions would come in handy. Like mayby humidity option etc? Also any recommendations on products would be great. I saw one on amazon (linked below) for £9.99. Reads temperature and humidity as far as I'm...

@eribaMotters this is what I get going the other way. So 8 full boards. Will use a 9th to get the shorter width of the full length. Three more boards would cover 6 of the 9 left over spcaes. if I buy one more can then sort up to 8 ofcut spaces then for the 9th think ill just use whats left to...

Just checked for you @MikeH and the dimensions are actual useable floor area so with tongues on top they are actually slightly bigger than 2400 x 600

So your saying for the offcuts that I dont have any tongue or groove edges left to just butt join them together and they will be ok? Obviously with the wedges in between the expansion gap (which I have included) pushing the joint up tight to make a secure tight bond.

This is what I am left with offcut wise. I have 12 boards at 600mm x 2400. Thinnk 2 more boards would be enough or 3?

Think your rite lol. Any good ideas for a use of a load of chipboard flooring offcuts after though would be much appreciated. I hate wastage lol 😂

Think I will just buy extra like you say. You say minimum 300mm off cut is that width or length as I have two full length strips at the end that are only 90mm wide. Thanks

Havent got one unfortunately but its on my wish list for the future lol. Thanks for the response

I have just finshed laying my dpm and 50mm celotex board down on the concrete base floor and am now ready to lay the 22mm t&g chipboard. The space comes out at 16.2m2 and each board is 1.44m2. So in reality plus 10% should be 12..37 boards. I have bought 12 but im still feeling that I will need...

@Jones thanks for the advice. Yes I was going to leav about 5mm but im glad you said as will now go for 10mm+. Am going to put skirting round once done to cover the gap. Already bought the celotex a while back so heres to hoping it is. Its already down and easily walkable on so think ill be...

@Sheptonphil thats good to know. Looks like your definetly into your lathe work with that beast haha. Like what you have done with the space. I have ended up going a step futher and ordered 7mm workshop interlocking floor tiles to go on top of the chipboard. Can handle car jacks engine hoists...

Hi @Piyush yes im pretty much sold on the fusion 3 now. Im probably taking the plunge in the next month as just about to install floor in my new workshop then board out the walls and get final fix on electrics. Im loving the built in router table. I currently have a UJK cast iron router table...

Thanks everyone for the advice. Sounds like im just worrying over nothing. Got chipboard delievered yeserday. Will get laid when my job gives me a break (sure alot of you can relate 😂 ) Thanks again

I have decided to do a 22mm chipboard subfloor and then get a heavy duty lino to go on top. Below the chipboard will be some extra dpm then 50mm celotex with a vapour barrier before the chipboard. My question is this. Do I have to put down say 50mm joists to secure the chipboard flooring too...

Yea i know what you mean by the clay. i gave up any furthere in the end as dug by spade but managed at least 50cm deep cheers. the camera for the workshop is going at the end of the cannopy overhang outide and I have got four spots under the cannopy. Shouldnt be a problem though as they wont be...

Whats the IR illumination (night vision) like at night. And what is the overall quality like in the day. I havent had time to set it up yet
