Chuck some old 45gal barrels of used engine oil down there, a bent gate, some old buckets, a tyre maybe a boiled battery. ... anything else old, knackered and unwanted .... :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

It is always awkward to make use of odd spaces like this... I take it this is the furthest point from the workshop so no good for racking for lengths of steel etc? Maybe fence posts instead?

That just sounds wrong!  :-[:of:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

What about having the roof of the new grainstore stick over till it touches the next building and than park wagons and such out of the weather.

That way it is tidy but still cluterd, we have to keep Tris happy  ;)

not a bad idea at least it keeps stuff relativly dry and sheltered

Well done Erik,.....got a quote tuesday to cantilever across to the cattle yard roof,..very reasonable price but its got to go for full planning again.Shouldnt have too much trouble as it will tidy things up no end and look rather smart when done.

I like. Smart building John. When will the things like electrics, the fan and all hat kind if stuff go in and what type of doors will be going on, roller shutter or panel shutter?

Not too sure on that one yet as our electrician doesnt reckon we have enough power for the start-up load of the two fans,...........plenty to run them but not to start them.Could be very expensive as well.

Electric roller shutter doors,..same colour as the cladding.. ;)
