Very nice indeed. I take it this is at your new house.

Indeed
Big move tomorrow & Tuesday. I hope the delivery men are feeling fit...

 

[crosslandkelly]

Good luck Robin.

 

[spandit]

Cheers, buddy! Looking forward to just enjoying the house

Just a quick update on the mancave. Shifted the old 6x4 shed tha was sitting in the corner, and have now laid a course of semi engineering bricks. These give me a true level to sit the framework on. Will start ordering timber tomorrow.

Looking good - keep on with the updates please!

 

[crosslandkelly]

Thanks Hugh, I will.

Have just ordered the timber and ply for the mancave, it's all being delivered in the morning. I can't wait to get on with it.

 

[crosslandkelly]

One wall up and another nearly done. I just need to finish the ply, fit the DPC, then clad.

Nice man! Can't wait to see the finished article!

My man cave is associated with my other hobby and has a small brewery in it!

Looks smart - what ply are you using 6mm?

 

[crosslandkelly]

Mmmm, beer. Doh!

 

[crosslandkelly]

12mm WBP, Clad with pressure treated 150x22 x11 feather edge. I'll post pics of the cladding tomorrow,

Looking good Colin.

There's been a hiccup on the planning application for my own mancave. I need to submit 1/500 and 1/200 scale drawings of the layout with dimensions from boundaries etc. Seems a bit too officious to me but I suppose local government needs to keep their staff busy doing something.

Anyway, yours is looking very nice. Hope the ankle's a lot better today.

 

[crosslandkelly]

Yeah it's fine now. Luckily I don't need any of the those regs for this, as it is under 3m high, and over 8m from any surrounding properties.

12mm will be nice and tough as wall material - are you insulating as well?

 

[HHazeldean]

That looks very nice, can't wait to see the finished article

Oh yes, 100mm Rockwool. Though for the time being, I'm more interested in getting the shell up and power in.

Sounds great - if you haven't bought the Rockwell, theres a guy on ebay does pallets of slightly knocked Celotex / Kingspan now and again - very cheap too
