Sorted beams out today and fixed timber to top flange

How do folks, its not finished, actually took a bit of a back burner recently as I just been abroad for 2 weeks on Holiday, had a few shows to do with S1 at weekend and with it going dark now at 8pm I'm limited to working after work.

But I just placed order for the door which is expected to be 3 week wait, i'll be fitting it myself as they wanted Ł450 to fit

Roof tiles ordered and should be here before the end of the week, and in the mean time I have sent of for planning permission to put an extension on the side of the house,

i'll update with some pictures later, nothing too plush though

Right folks, it's been a while. Been on holiday and then returned to a massive work load so not had chance to catch up with it.

Had a phone call Friday to say my door is being delivered tomorrow

Roof is on anyway, gutters, etc. once water right I can move contents of the shed into it so I can then dig drains etc.

Back yard was looking a right state too so had a good tidy up yesterday. Filled trailer up twice!

Strapped it back and made some cleats to hold wall plate onto the beam, not the prettiest but won't be seen once roller door is on

There'll no cars being restored in it. Idea is that its going to be a clean tidy place to just store them.

After having lived in a house with a farm track to it, the cars haven't really been used like they used to get used for a long time. Mainly due to the fact i could leave the house and they'd be filthy by time i got to the main road.

Never been able to keep them at my own house so now i can. I just want them to sit there and looks nice

Need to sort electric out now
