Keyser Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 (edited) Good evening to one and all, the following is only very loosely related to cars but a certain smurf (who knows about the little venture I need the extra space for) asked for a full pictorial account so at least 1 person should read this and I'm trying to catch up with Doogy who has a barn in his back garden! Anyway I need a workshop (as well as a garage) and I recently acquired another compressor from eBay at a good price, so I'm taking a weekend off from cars and building Zee ZedShed Annex Bit of background - we moved in here about 4 years ago and one of the first jobs was to build a workshop in the back garden - it is in fact 2 Marley prefab garages joined together with a custom roof It was in the back garden at my last house (was bigger then) but when we sold that place the new owner was building a second bungalow in the back garden and didn't want it so we brought it with us re-arranged the layout and erected it in our new back garden - Before it was even finished it became a store shed and has basically been that until today! So the first job tonight was to empty it out All in the back garden covered in tarps for now Lucky for me my daily is a pickup truck so I stopped by the builders yard on the way home and picked up this lot We then set about making the cupboard doors fit properly and added bolts to keep em closed sorted Then onto the new partition wall That's as far as I got tonight will be on it all weekend so I will bore you with my progress Edited March 15, 2013 by Keyser Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasso Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 OMG you managed to clear that unit (mad as well be its that big) of all the parts and bits you've collected. Good show that man. So what sort of "work" will occur in the workshop? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what sort of "work" will occur in the workshop? Yer took a couple of hours to empty Gonna bin some stuff but I'm terrible for hording - as you will see as the weekend goes on I want the space and compressor for 2 reasons 1. I want the sandblaster setup so I can use it for little jobs - it takes an age to get ready and makes such a mess, but it's so useful so often for cleaning even little things up! 2. I have found a new skill I want to learn so I have invested a few quid and want a workshop with a bit of free space to play/practice in, it's all top secret at the moment well it would be if Mr G hadn't guessed it - don't ask me how he has a sixth smurf sense! You really do live the dream! Zed shed, zed shed 2, loads of cool toys (tools) and a s/c + nos'd zed. I'll take a pic of my nail gun just for you tomorrow I have some great toys mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyser Posted March 9, 2013 Author Share Posted March 9, 2013 Just for BBK as I promised Nail gun as modelled by Buster (I think he liked it) So me and Buster popped out on a road trip first thing (I got one Mr G ) Which meant a late start, however much was achieved I'm sure some of you are wondering how my wife lets me get away with all this - simples I let her play with the toys as well Partition wall going up Other side Buster supervises From the inside Shelving added Buster was very happy with the door While Mrs Keyser started sorting through all the Jars of nuts bolts nails etc I showed Buster the next job on the list. Behind ZeeAnnex we have "We have to clear all that" I said to Buster He got scared But we moved all the old copper pipe etc that came out when we refurb'd the house (I have pics of that as well if you like ) which I will run down the scrappy be a few quids worth there! Under that was this big pile of wood I kept when we pulled the flat roof off the extension I told you I horde stuff that may be useful so....... We moved that to one side Then we cut the timber up made a frame, by this time we were dodging heavy rain showers But managed to get the base finished as the light went That is the base for ZeeAnnex lean too and will hopefully get finished tomorrow. Massive shout out to Buster and of course Mrs Keyser for all the help today, still got plenty left to do tomorrow Now to chill out watch some TV and have some food. Have a pleasant evening all.
