Hello all,
Will be trying to upload pics for first time here so fingers crossed!!
Having finally sorted out my new apartment I'm hoping to get back to some woodwork , but now that I need to make a new kitchen and coffee table is my garden shed workshop big enough, no it aint. Below, hopefully, is the garden shed in my parents back garden which serves as my workshop
I hope that has worked , in case it hasn't I'll keep this post fairly short.
The two things I need from a new workshop are:
a) To maximise the limited space
b) To maximise sound insulation , as neighbours are close
Considering that I can come no further than flush with the front of the brick shed to the left I have moved away from a brick build as I feel that the walls would eat into the space too much, also I've never laid a course of bricks in my life.
Then I thought of extending the concrete base under the garden shed out to the front of the stone shed and then placing a stud wall structure on that base.
But after some forum searching I feel I'd be better off raising the stones under the wooden shed a little with some cement a la the Great Carlsberg circa 2005, to be level with some other stones on the higher stone shed base . Maybe this pic will make this more clear - so much for keeping it short......
Or maybe I could just buy one, but so far anything within my budget has looked really poorly made or meant losing too much precious space, Any Irish forum users who could advise on where to get custom built, quality cheap sheds??
Now I had better stop and check if the pics worked , any and all advice much appreciated as always, Paulc
