Very old  and rotten  Bit short for a car so extend by 2m  Replace roof to new profile with steel at ridge and halfway up rafters  This is for workshop and one car lift as finished cars will live here  Not mine  |

I like how the front still looks almost the same as before. The character of the old building hasn't been lost.

That must have been a pain getting that floor down without all round access.

That must have been a pain getting that floor down without all round access. I was just thinking the same thing and wondering how I would do it, but still havent got a clue; especially as the levelling marks run perpendicular to the entry. Impressed |

That was Tamped left to right then front to back then both ways again. Lastly went along the front and back tamping out the footprints with the back of a rake. This was laid 7am-8am then power floated in the evening so its super smooth now  |

Lovely workshop,
Going to be a great place to work and, as you say, little worry about "finished cars" as they'll be elsewhere,
