I just want to show that some progress it being made on the workshop:)
Scaffolding put up.
The old membrane had numerous holes and some of the slates where in disrepair. So I decided to have the roof renovated.
Here you can see the new membrane and my friend Noel helping me to fit a lower ceiling.
The membrane and tiles are in place and we have made good progress on the new ceiling.
As the scaffolding stayed up over the weekend I fitted some guttering. Note the slates are mostly original except for some that where second hand.
The paint was beginning to flake off. This is due the wall not being cleaned properly before painting. So I also took the opportunity to scrape off the loose paint and clean the surface before applying new paint.
That looks much better!:)
Scaffolding down.
Upcoming Monday the digger will arrive so we can lay cables and fit water supply.

Nice man cave Mitka!
Looks good! Do you have enough natural light in there to work?
3 large windows should do the trick:)
Coming along nicely! Very exciting!
Hi Mitka, as a swiss trained watchmaker can i suggest somethings, to make all internal walls with kingspan insulation plasterboard as this makes a big difference to retain heat and a small room for all your cleaning machines and fluids etc… This is something i am building myself at the moment.
Hi Timothy,
Thanks for the suggestion:) I will insulate floor walls and ceiling! Walls and ceiling will
have plasterboard. I’m also fitting air to air heating system that also works as AC, dehumidifier and air filter. The cleaning machine will be placed inside a cabinet that I will line with noise reducing felt and a carbon filter fan taking the fumes out of the room. It will be clean, white and nice:D
Looking good.
Haven’t we been a busy boy then ?Looks like your probably half way there now and agree with Timothy if u can.
Run all your electrics and water.
Batten the walls and ceiling.
Plaster board and skim.
One clean workshop with every thing hidden.
Agree, the cleaner the better!
