Mods feel free to move this to relevant room as wasnt sure where to put it as mad project doesnt state if it needs to be car or not Please PM me where though so i can keep updated

Thought i'd start a thread about my little garden project for 2012

Started in 2011 with a run down garden and a falling down shed
Check out the neighbours garden in comparision so had to go bigger and better

Remove a few panels and push dodgy shed over



Add a little heat and petrol lol




Think the fire brigade turned up about now as there neighbours thought my house was on fire lol

Few hours later and hey presto no shed



Add a lot of digging and wheel barrowing And add some concrete

And we have Footings a NCP car park would be proud of lol

Then add 2 courses of concrete blocks



And then add a shit load more concrete and a damp proof membrane and we have floors

Then add even more concrete blocks and the odd brick here and there and a few windows and doors and we have a flat packed shed/workshop
Then add a bit of labour and a man from lego land and we start to see wallls

Internal Measurements for shed on Left 18ft x 8ft workshop/gym on right 18ft x 8ft

 

Very nice mate, that fire looks properly dodgy

 

Nice build mate keep the pics coming

 

Quality. Did you not shit yourself as the fire started to get out of hand?

 

Oh cool, I hope everybody else decides to quote the OP remembering to include ALL the pictures. Moron.

 

looks good, it might end up being moved to the garage and workshop section if its moved at all. keep the updates comin

 

build looks good but thats fire was very responsable.......... NOT.

 

Fire wasnt out of control really just looked worse than it was. Its leaning against a concrete wall which isnt going anywhere and the fence behind got a little warm but was kept soaked with buckets of water. Fire brigades only critism when they got there was that it wasnt central in between walls which they did once it had died slightly

 

Day 2 and 3 complete
Not far off having all the walls up now

 

How do stretch long time no speak , in presuming your not actually laying the bricks looks far too neat for you lol

 

Not bad thanks Gaz and you ????

Nah i aint laying the bricks thought i'd give my bro in law a chance to brush up on his lego laying lol

 

i have nothing to say really just thought i would quote all the pics for rick lol

hahahaha

 

Love the way you got rid of the old shed
Pmsl
good luck with the rest of the build

 

Yeah not too bad thanks mate, will look awesome when it's done, will really piss next door off lol

 

that looks a great transformation

 

Day 4 see the lintels going in and a few more bricks

So we decided to start stage 2 while we were waiting for said dry days
Needed to have another LITTLE fire this time to get rid of my boys playhouse lol

Then as weather wasnt guaranteed and bruv in law fancy doing some more legowork i set up my gazebo to give him some workspace so he can start my bbq
