NewHolland2 Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 Excellent mate......It's details like that, that make all the difference to a set-up...... :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted November 17, 2006 Author Share Posted November 17, 2006 Thanks everyone. It goes full circle, you tell me something looks good and I go away and think how can I get it even better. Sometimes it takes very little, the junction box I have explained. The sockets are small pieces of stypene painted grey with small black dots for the plug holes. Got to add white for the on/off switches though. I have two more bits to do for the wiring inside then I need to add an airline wound around an old wheel rim on the wall.

Deere-est Posted December 3, 2006 Author Share Posted December 3, 2006 Tris ive got 4 questions for u when do u eat when do u sleep when do u go to work are u living in a different time span to the rest of the earth how the heck do u find the time to do all this super stuff Very difficult, it's a case of whenever I have half an hour free I spend it at the bench cramming in as many minutes as I can. Then when a particular part is finished I take a pic and post it which makes you lot think I have been on it flat out, non stop!! Three friend came round earlier to pick me up for a night out and they asked where I bought this shed from, when I said i made it they didn't believe me, I don't think they believe me still. One said you must have the patience of a saint. . .. they know I certainly don't have the patience of a saint but doing this kind of stuff certainly calms the nerves somewhat. Thank you for the kind comments, have to take another pic of the interior with the 'electrics' all wired up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted December 3, 2006 Author Share Posted December 3, 2006 Of course you can Sean!! I have a little box of scrap to chuck round there when I get back to putting all the kit in the workshop. Next and almost last bit is working out how to make the yard surface look rustic and like dirty concrete. . . Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gogreengelb Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 Tris I dont know want u will be using for the concrete but I read once in a garden mag the best way to age concrete or stone tubs is to smear it with fresh yogout and leave it for 2or 3 days then wipe it off.Its supposed to speed up the ageing process considerably Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THEBRITFARMER Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 The fencing looks a belter, get you, you gert flash GIT :D What about a skim coat of plaster Tris then score into it (like you did on the roof for the tiles) Use a wash of water and paint to give and aged effect for the concrete.

Udimore Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 Well done matey Looks superb gets better and better Love the barb wire fencing too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted December 4, 2006 Author Share Posted December 4, 2006 Cheers Barry, perfect home for the 135 hey? Not sure plaster would take the stress of moving the boards around Scott, it was a thought. The boards are nearly an inch thick though so it may be worth a shot.

MODELFARMER Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 am idea for the concrete is silicone rubber like used for mould making if you can get it in white its flexable and i'm sure some type of paint will work on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 Will it be smooth enough Sean? Cheers lads, I reckon I am getting the hang of it now. . . yes mate when you pva the board then sprinkle the stuff on roll it over with a rolling pin or similar to press it in, gives a great concrete appearnce, then spray the paint from a height so it lays lightly, that way you get a good mix of the colour and some spots look darker or lighter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted December 4, 2006 Author Share Posted December 4, 2006 Got me old ali tube heater in now and the electrics wired up. Glue was difficult to control when sticking down cotton but it doesn't make it look any worse . .. .or does it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
