Have been working on the other part of the floor for the last couple of weeks. It took a long time to prep the surface but at least having learnt from doing the other smaller area hopefully it won't have to all come off again this time.

This photo is after the first layer of thinned down floor paint has gone on.

Thanks for the replies! I sketched out the following (sorry for the poor quality, was not near a camera/scanner so used a webcam).



We may leave out the foam insulation under the floor. I am also unsure how many membranes/vapour barriers I need for the walls - does what I have make sense? I've got one between the outer cladding and insulation and then another between the insulation and inner cladding, which may not be necessary?

I am hoping to get away with minimal electric heating, just one of those oil filled radiators I expect, but we also have an old woodburner to go in to make things nice and cosy occasionally during the winter.

This makes things much easier...  :headbang:


I can't read your sketch very well, but I suggest that you put anchor bolts poured into your footings every 4 feet or so to bolt the bottom of your framing members down. This will keep it from blowing away.

Bit too late for that now, Mosey!

But the whole thing seems to back on to, and be tied into, old stone walls along all of one wll and part of another, so I don't think it will be going anywhere in a hurry. Nor are the winds in ChriX's part of the UK particularly strong.

I've been a bit rubbish updating this recently, not sure where the time goes!









Gave my lathe some TLC


Thats probably about it for photos now anyway, maybe I'll post a few when we get moved in, organised and tidied up. Just wanted to say thanks to everyone who followed and for everyone's advise/help along the way. If anyone is ever in the area send me a message and maybe you can come stand around in the shed and drink tea  :beer:.
