Re: Garage builds

Heres a link to my build thread over on the garage journal. Its a 100+ year old former cowshed in brick with a slate roof. It needs a lot of work to get it to where I want it. This years plan is to dig up the floor in the end with the man door (currently part engineering brick part crappy concrete) then fill with rubble, sand, membrane, rebar/mesh and finally concrete. The wall needs taking down next to the man door as it's leaning, rebuilding and a proper lintel putting in over the door opening. Then I can make a new doorframe to replace the two old railroad ties currently doing that job and a new door. Blast all the old whitewash off the walls and repaint, wire that end up for power and then I can move both workbenches and all the shelving, toolboxes etc in that end. I also want to replace the purlins in the other end with steel I beams ready to re-roof it all in 2015.
