WIP: 6mx3m Pent Workshop build: Exterior Done!

[BucksDad]

Looks fab. I started mine in May and it’s not finished yet - I will let my wife know there’s a build on here which has taken 6 years so I’ve still got some time

Congratulations on your efforts and the success!
That is one massive piece of wood in the 3rd photo up, it looks about 15 feet long and around 2.5 inches thick!
Workshop looks great.
Well done again!

Yes I have two pieces of elm I picked up locally on gum tree, they are 4.1m x 0.35m x 0.05m, which is about 13.5' x 13" x 2". The chap had bought them to make an outside bar years back, sat in his garage since until he was told to get rid. Orginally I was going to cut up to transport but knew I'd regret it as I had no project earmarked for them. Luckily I got them in the back of a LBW hrly rental van from B&Q. Lifting them on to the rack was a little nervy. I think they are going to become a new kitchen table in the future if we go ahead with the kitchen extension.
