Pissing about with only half a clue on the shed site.

Later on this year I need to get a push on and try and get the weather to stay on the OUTSIDE of the shed . Little half to sort first for dads farm use with concrete panels and then either timber or juniper green box profile cladding. Probably go for the tinwork as cheaper and faster and if life goes to plan it will be coming off again in 10 -15 years time.
The workshop end wants to be insulated. I have 80mm kingspan on the roof based on the theory that I will only get once chance at that. Walls not so fussed about as easy enough to modify or change. I see a place in Gloucester selling non kingspan 40mm 1000/32 sheets for about £27+vat a square meter which might suit me.
I have a little shed to re roof at home (14sqm) so might order a little bit for that to see what’s it’s like for quality and compare it to the kingspan?
Anyone ever used non kingspan stuff? Up the road cladco used to make it but they have stopped .

The bamboos arrived yesterday, so whilst over at Mothers setting her new shower tray in, I stole a couple of hours and got the whips ready for the wind. Fairly exposed there so need looking after. Really noticing the extra daylight in this weather.

That’s going to be thick old hedge

Exactly 6 per meter, so I hope so. If life goes to plan it will be part of the view from my accommodation when I retire in another couple of decades. The hedge in the background of the photo is one my dad planted back in the 80s, but not enough time or money to build a bank for it so it always struggled on the poor wet ground. It got a ditch about 12 years ago and has improved since then.

Not had ANY time on the project for a couple weeks. Work is super busy and every free moment is spent trying to fit out my mothers accessible bathroom.
Shed installers came back on Thursday and filled in the missing section of vertical insulated cladding between the 2 shed heights. Left s**t (cardboard and plastic) just blowing around everywhere. Seems to be the standard procedure. Can’t image working like that. Messy fuckers.
Barge board and Ped door frames and angles for catching ends of concrete panels still left to be done.
Randomly found a photo from 2013 or 2014 of us fitting a new bed in the LM126. Regret selling that one.

Chatter about this on the Auction Watch thread at the weekend. Popped down to pick this up tonight. I had a job to measure up for a friend which was about half way . Took longer to strap it than it did to load it . Fitted like a glove. Boards were loose so lay them down on trailer bed. Too heavy for Fassi to lift clean at that angle as I woud have needed the extensions out which wouldn’t have been nice, so laid it down and dragged it on. Took the long way home round the dual carriageway and playing tag team with HVGs all way back. Dropped trailer at the farm as that’s a tomorrow problem. Forklift lights have failed so unloading is a daylight job.
£350 feels like a bargain . Might get the Vat off that as well.
Dmax is a very capable towing trug, but I prefer driving a van .
Couple of hi vis tabards pallet wrapped to the legs for good measure.
Noticed that one of my trailer side running lights has died…. Need to sort that.

It was dark when I drove back for a reason

 

[Stroppymonkey]

What is it??

Tank stand . Hopefully will be using it for a 5000-10000 litre rain water tank once the shed gets cladding and gutters. I fancy a volume washer one day. Used to have one on the farm and it was the mutts .
Local and cheap so worth a trip. If plans change I shan’t lose money, only my time. Was a beautiful drive down over Bodmin at sunset.

Fairly heavy. Fancy it might be more than 800kg!?
Got crane trailer unloaded and back home ready for lifting some boilers out of a plant room tomorrow (actual work stuff) it’s much nicer pulling behind 3300kg of fwd Transit than behind Dmax …. Until you get to a hill or rough ground or want to go backwards

Your centre of gravity is waaay out there
Sling it centrally and get some height I bet it would lift it

Once jack legs down to get it up and then pulled in close then it's okay. Would want to be going backwards down hill though.

if the U/bs're 203 x 133 then I'm pretty close based on the advertised dimensions.
if it's made out of 254 x 146 it won't be much more TBH

Yeah just the COG being 1200mm away from heel of forks is all it takes to make a huge difference. Moffet is a good lifter in close. Always surprising how much extra lift capacity you get with stab legs down, but must only move the tipping point 300mm forward.
When I carry it down to the bottom I’ll tip it up the same way as it was on the trailer so it’s got the top frame of the stand up against mast.
On the hunt for a nice dark green BIG water tank next.

Keep an eye on auction sites, they go for next to nothing!
