Like making stuff with wood or code. Based on the Northumberland coast on bluesky to see what nice interesting stuff people are up to 👀

Workshop front cladded with cement fibre board. This stuff is a pain to cut.
50mm conduit comes up through foundations slab with a 6mm armoured cable.
Galvanised L bracket tied down to the foundation slab. Then at the top screwed into the timber walls. OSB was cut away where we attach to leave a more flush finish for plasterboard to go over later.
Front view of the workshop. Walls insulated and wrapped in a breathable membrane. The membrane is just attached using a staple gun. White soffits and fascias around the roof. And rubber laid over the top still to be glued down.
17 × 150×47mm c24 4.8m for roof joists 14 × 2440×1220mm 11mm OSB for walls 16 × 2400×600mm 18mm t&g OSB for roof
Shot of the finished dwarf wall complete with DPC.
2 courses of brick make the dwarf wall the workshop walls will be built on. There's a gap to the right where the door will go.
Freshly poured foundations. A conduit with armoured cables comes up through the bottom left corner to later power the workshop.
Mini digger used to go down 20cm in preparation for concert slab.
New fence replaced the old wobbly fence. Used concrete gravel boards as next doors ground level is 30cm higher. This stops the wood being in contact with the soil which caused the last fence posts to rot.
Wheelbarrow wheel held on with a mole grip and some tape
Old workshop feels a lot bigger and brighter without a roof.
Old shed from the outside. Tucked away at the back of the garden.
See how the lower cladding stays damp longer due to rain splash. This makes it more susceptible to rot!
