Looking good. Glad you mentioned it was treated as waney edged pine or spruce doesn't last long. The bark and sapwood just arn't hardy enough. But treated will help a lot and it should last a while. It would also help if the cladding was fitted to battens to create a small vented space between the cladding and the breather membrane. Don't want to sound like I am picking holes, but my job dictates that I am a pedantic curse word when it comes to this sort of thing  Great work so far, looking really good. Lewis |

well the insulation arrived today, just a small matter of cutting it all up to fit between the studwork!!  |

Looking great!
Where did you get the insulation from, was it expensive?

The insulation was from a company called A&A insulation services, I found them on the net, they sell insulation "seconds" the stuff is spot on and half the price of new stuff. They come in 1200x2400 sheets and 100mm thick ones were £21 and the 65mm ones were £16. Enough for walls and roof came to £458 Inc £30 delivery (they're in Wales)
I'd definitely revommend them

well i've spent a couple of evenings cutting and fitting the insulation. Almost there! Cutting the slabs with a circular saw made the job alot easier but the dust went everywhere!! fine gritty particles in the eyes and lungs!! i had to fashion a mask from some (clean) boxer shorts as i had no dust masks/sealing goggles to hand!!  |

Only just found this thread but loving the build. I have plans of rebuilding my shed into a wooden garage arrangement (since the actual garage is full of cack) and will be watching with interest. Like the idea of sinking the lift into floor, would have been an  the first time you tried to drive a freshly lowered car! |

Wow, just checked in for the first time in a while. This has come on really well, and looks absolutely spot on with the roof shingles and cladding. Must be due an update though |

I'm looking to build a rather large garage soon so I'm doing my research now. Great project, really helpful! Looks dead cool and like its actually supposed to be there! Good work! Bet you can't wait to use it now! |

Bit of a mini update, been cracking on with lining the inside which is taking it's time however more interestingly I've got myself a little gadget to go in the shed . A massive thanks to my mates Allan and Calvin who fetched the milling machine with me from Manchester. We managed to get it off their trailor using some scaffold bars and long ratchet straps taking the tension in turn. It took a while bit worked quite well. Here's a few pics of the little beauty!    |

another small update been a bit busy recently so progress has slowed somewhat  I've been chipping away at the insulation and internal lining though and this evening i was finally able to fit the garage door now that the end wall has been lined. Its a nice extruded aluminium roller door and is remote contol operated and i'm pleasede with how it looks B)  Also last week with the help of some mates from my 205 forum i picked up my new lathe from an old guy in Sheffield giving up his tools. Its a nice little british made Raglan Lathe already on a single phase 240v motor so should come in useful once the garage is all up and running. It's partially dismantled at the mo.  thats it for now |

again another small update this weekend i tried to smash the remaining exterior cladding that still needed to be done and i reckon i got a good 90% of it done, just a few more planks to go and it'll be done! thank god!! I fitted the fascia boards to the front and trimmed the roof shingles to match. I also need to make a couple of boards to cover the inside edge of the garage door opening.  the lion share of teh work was spent cladding the end wall and fighting the tree/bushes in the corner which made teh job 10 times harder! just nned to make a couple of fascia boards for the end and cut the shingles to match as well   so things still to do are 1) make end fascia boards 2) cut shingle to match 3) seal shingle edges down 4) make door batens 5) make window frames 6) get windoow glass 7) refit side fascias 8) fit guttering 9) finish lining inside 10) finish cutting roof insulation baords 11) finish lining roof 12) install plug sockets 13) install lights 14) fit wiring so not much then!!! |

Looking really good!! Just a few things to do  but at least getting the windows in and the roof finished means that you will be warm and dry over the winter months to come. Lewis |

been plugging away at it still I've bought some metal trunking & plastic conduit to run the cabling in, so this past week i've been fitting that & sorting the lighting and sockets. I'm haiving 5 circuits 1) Lights 2) Normal 13amp plug sockets 3) dedicated 16amp socket for Air Compressor 4) string of 16amp sockets for the welder 5) dedicated 16 amp sockets for lathe & milling machine i now have light, power and a snazzy remote control roller garage door   |
