Well in an attempt to bring my workshop thread back to life from the other forum I'll thought I post an update.
Cladding now well underway. As is the rear lean-too extension (I'm never really sure why I didn't want a completely oblong workshop)
Rear section of roof is now tiled. Front ready for the 6 panel solar array. Thats been delayed by classic indecision over supplier on my part!
Out of interest what are you using to paint it black? Or do the powers that be specify that too?
I'm quite a fan of Bedec barn paint. Never ever come across a product that covers, so well, timber on the FIRST coat. Seemingly ticks the environmental boxes too.

That being said I always used to use Sadolin way back when. Seem to remember it took an age to dry. Bedec, 3 coats in a day no problem.
