Big Jimbo Posted January 31, 2020 Author Posted January 31, 2020 Insulation all done.,and a quick pick of the outside. 900mm overhang to the roof so I won't get soaked when I'm opening the doors. 1
Temp Posted January 31, 2020 Posted January 31, 2020 Looks great. Make sure everything is well fixed down. We had a shed roof blow off once. Took out neighbours fence. 1

Took out neighbours fence. 8 x 1mt bend straps burried down into the concrete. Plenty of straps on roof to walls. I am quite exposed here. Don't want to loose it like the One in Slough recently. 1
ProDave Posted January 31, 2020 Posted January 31, 2020 There is an old derelict log cabin building at the top of our road, a former pub. Not long after it was built in the 70's , the roof, complete with the top 7 rows of logs from the walls blew off. IT was rebuilt with even longer tie down straps. 1
Big Jimbo Posted February 19, 2020 Author Posted February 19, 2020 Started a bit of cladding on the posh shed, despite the rain. 1
Big Jimbo Posted February 19, 2020 Author Posted February 19, 2020 As some of you may remember, i got permission to extend my bungalow in the Green belt from about 500sq ft to 3000sq ft. I then went back into planning to see if i could get Two instead of the One large. That was refused by L.A. and refused on appeal. The permission i obtained took away my class E permitted devl rights. I spoketo the planning officer re a "posh shed" and he said build it before i started work, and i would not need to apply. This is what i have done, and what you are starting to see in the pictures. Now, i have decided that my extended house when built, will be too big (I added it up the other day, and the internal floor area is about 3200sq ft. ) I have decided that i am going to go back into planning for a knock and build with a smaller house of about 2500 ish sq ft. What i am not sure of is. If i apply to replace existing house, will this cover me for the demolish part ? I don't want to have to apply for that on it's own. The second thing is under the same application can i apply to live on site during construction. Ie; either in a caravan, static, or my man shed ? and do i have to state which ? Thanks for your help as usual.
Big Jimbo Posted February 21, 2020 Author Posted February 21, 2020 Bit more cladding done. Doors and windows arrive Monday. One of these days, I'll stick the rubber down.
Big Jimbo Posted February 25, 2020 Author Posted February 25, 2020 Chucked some double glazing in today, and French doors. Let there be light 1
Big Jimbo Posted February 27, 2020 Author Posted February 27, 2020 Outside reveals on a few of the windows, and doors done, and started to batten out for cladding. 2 1
Big Jimbo Posted March 1, 2020 Author Posted March 1, 2020 Not raining, so a bit more cladding done. Pleased with the contrast between the cladding and the doors and windows. 2

Russdl Posted March 1, 2020 Posted March 1, 2020 @Big Jimbo it does look good. What is that cladding? Is it Cedral (or something like that?)

Big Jimbo Posted March 6, 2020 Author Posted March 6, 2020 Bit more done. Starting to look like a mobile home rather than a posh shed. 1 1

So you could have a good point.?
Big Jimbo Posted March 11, 2020 Author Posted March 11, 2020 Finally got the sloping top bits of my cladding cut and fitted. Still got to stick the roof down, and do the skirt around the bottom, which I think I will do in black. Top half of my house will be clad the same, so pleased to have had the chance to practice on the posh shed 2
Big Jimbo Posted April 10, 2020 Author Posted April 10, 2020 Not very exciting, but due to the nice weather I finally got my rubber roof stuck down, and the edge trim put around. Once I fit the plinth (no materials) that will be the outside finished. Wired up the inside ( no supply yet) but 18 double sockets. 11 internal lights. Power for oven and hob. Extractor power. TV ariel. Cat 6 and more that I have already forgotten. ?
PeterW Posted April 10, 2020 Posted April 10, 2020 Have you got enough sockets @Big Jimbo..? Concerned you’ve skimped on them .... 1
SteamyTea Posted April 10, 2020 Posted April 10, 2020 18, that is 4 more than my house, and some of mine are singles. 1
Big Jimbo Posted May 3, 2020 Author Posted May 3, 2020 Started a bit of plasterboarding in the posh shed 2
