Update time

Started to paint the inside of the building . I decided to use sandtex smooth mansonary paint as it's thick and can be wiped down as it drys with a rubber like coating.
I purchased 20 litres thinking that would be enough but when it dried out I knew it would be a bit patchy and would need another coat, well 70 litres later and 3 weeks off and on I finally finished lol.

Next was painting the beams , I decided to use hammerite direct to rust and it went on very well , the next day checked it over and there was rust spot everywhere wtf , so decided to touch up the rust spots and ran out of paint , got a 1litre tin painted and the next morning it was a cream colour which really fooked me off , so got a new 5 litre tin and repainted every beam again.

Door controller with built in light , Schneider disboard it's a bit on the large size but if I start to add lathes etc I will have plenty of spare breakers. Powered up and the first bit of conduit for the supply for the door.

I've painted the floor with the first coat thinned down , now waiting for more paint for the top coat and also got to wait for 24 hrs before it's fully dry. Once the top coat goes on I won't be able to use for 7 days as he said that's the best way to let it cure properly.

I will do more update as and when

Next jobs are insulate the eaves
Board the ceiling and paint
The lighting , electrics etc
Buy and fit cupboards
Fetch my stuff from storage and move in

Cheers paul
