[vids]

delivery on 07/03/2017

cant wait though im thinking about sealing it all with the appropriate sealer to protect it all and then paint it before building it

Good thinking, keep the thread updated, will help me when building mine

See I was thinking about painting it all before it go's up but then it came and its too hard to work out where each bit go's, thats my issue anyway, good luck with the rest of your build

Really looking forward to seeing how this turns out. Been thinking about doing something similar myself to add a workshop. It's funny, in the pix the base doesn't look 5x3m. How many cabs are you planning to have in there once it's all done?

I would suggest before you start building that you paint all the base peices in some waterproof/rubber paint, as otherwise those will be the first pieces to rot over time.

I really admire people that put in this much effort and expense. Just shows how passionate folk are about this hobby. Good luck with the build, mate!

I second that, when we built mine, which is very similar, we had 3 days to do it all, my dad raced ahead due to bad weather, and I really wish we had painted the underside first.

That's looking very cool, how thick are the walls out of interest?

[robotech]

looks really nice so far

 

[northwest]

Is it treated on the main t+g ? Or do you seal prior to paint, if needed that is ? Looks really nice .

 

[funhouse]

Looks good !

Have you worked out the best layout in there for the cabinets yet?

Beware of bleaching sun if the orientation lets sun-in.
