My new bike workshop

aye aye. got a new arrival in the home and the man runs and hides in his shed.

i would love a bikehut like that but i don't possess enough mechanical knowledge to warrant it plus my garage is already full of bits and pieces from previous diy jobs so would probably end up being the same.

Doh,didn't realise you had to go down and then across.

Jeez Dan, bit over kill for a bike shed, nice work though, looks good.

Did you have the concrete delivered and dumped on that sheet ? Bet that was a job to barrow that all the way down there, I personally have done similar but uphill and I mixed it myself cos of how awkward it was to transport it.

Worst job ever, I was physically exhausted every night, took 3 days cos there was 3 bases totalling about 6 cubic metres.

Yes had the concrete delivered. it took two of us about 2.5 hours non stop to barrow it down. just got it all done before it started to go off

Maybe I'm trying to block out the memory, but I can't recall how many cubic metres there was. Was about 5 tonnes in old money I think
The bloke delivering turned up at about 7:30 in the morning as well. I think he managed to wake the whole street

Couple more months of a screaming baby...


You'll have a bed and wireless internet in there mate

*edit*

I've got a load of armoured cable here somewhere, I'll have a dig and see if I can find it if you like?
It's left over from one of my site supplies.

Yes mate that'd be brilliant. Don't go out of your way though as I'm not sure when I'm gonna get around to doing it!

Ill dig it out and stick it to one side.

Maybe heat trace the cable?

+1 on the internet in there.

Did mine a couple of years ago now, made sure to install internet, plenty of sockets, and sky Tv

Its a proper little man cave but is missing a fridge atm, love the little recess you've made. Only thing I'd say is you've made the same unnecessary mistake that I made. You've used floor joists (150x50mm) for the roof structure they'd have been fine made out of 2x4. Not a problem if you've a flat roof with it properly rolled and sealed but I've gone for bitumen sheets an the fall is too slack so could really do with all been ripped off and done again... only issue is all my electrics run through the roof

I was wondering when the next floor was going on when I saw the Joists
