I am nearly at the stage of being able to return to turning. The foundation for the new workshop has now been fully laid and touch wood the new workshop will be delivered Thursday so by the week end I can start to get everything back in and set up. The old workshop is now in the place where the woodstore was and has now got some shelves in to store even more blanks.
Inside the woodstore new shelves and all the cupboards for the new workshop still a lot of blanks to go back in and some more shelves. I laid them down to stop the wood falling off:funny::funny::funny:

New Shed,nice!

Upside down and sideways photos are quite common. It’s very easy to fix, Always take pictures in landscape mode and make sure the lens is near the top of your phone or tablet. Cropping your photos to suit afterwards won’t effect the orientation.

In the bottom photo the back R/H corner the looks like the ground level is higher than your footings, be careful the white ants love that.:tongue:

Don't have problems with white ants also the soil will be kept away from the wood as more work needed around the workshop

Very neat Derek.:thumbs::thumbs:
I am courious about the felt and how it makes it water tight?:thinks:

It is roofing felt which is used here in the UK.

Some more pictures with the roof felt being installed and one with it complete and the wood stain going on

Now I understand, I thought that you were going to attach it to the inside like we do here with insulation. :rolling:


No gutters to save your rain water?:funny::ciggrin:
