Jez Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 Ok here goes. I probably should of started with a simple shed as suppose to a complete workshop, benches, tools, diesel tanks and such like but why walk on the ground when you want your head in the clouds? Here are some pics of the start of the workshop at Two Oaks Farm Two Oaks is named because of the two old oak trees at the entrance to the drive ( well they will be there when I build the drive ). It is home to JAG Contractors, hence the 13.5m x 16.5m (45ft x 55ft) workshop currently under construction on the farm. Operation are yet to be confirmed but will be along the lines of mixed operations as we are based in the midlands so things like Maize and Grass silage, arable work, hedge cutting (lots), fencing, general tasks. I hope you enjoy the buildings and our journey through the construction of Two Oaks Farm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jez Posted October 10, 2007 Author Share Posted October 10, 2007 I uses an 8mm drill bit to drill out the holes for the uprights (Thanks for your help Tris). The slot in perfectly and leave you with just enough movement to get them straight up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jez Posted October 10, 2007 Author Share Posted October 10, 2007 Then I thought it would be time to lay the floor. I have gonr for a concrete effect. I was in Homebase on saturday and found some spray paint that gives a stone effect. Please let me know what you think guys, it would be appreciated.

Jez Posted October 10, 2007 Author Share Posted October 10, 2007 Here is an over veiw, i'm just going back down stairs to see if it has dried. I will post some more when I get a bit more built up. Next up i am guessing will be either the wall or top bits from side to side ( I don't know, I'm not a construction engineer) Any one advise me which is next will get a fiver, well possibly? :D :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 Great start Jez, well done buddy. I can see this looking pretty damn smart very soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jez Posted October 11, 2007 Author Share Posted October 11, 2007 Thanks guys, I am going to put the walls in next and spray the beams silver (galvanised). Will post some more pics up tonight or tommorrow. Not sure about a removable roof yet. May be a big task. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 Seen a lot of new buildings lately and lot's are galvanised. Be good to see a proper modern shed. I'll do one somewhen, few more older one's to build first though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walls arent structural in most cases have a look through here http://www.farmtoysforum.com/forum/index.php?topic=3034.60 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jez Posted October 11, 2007 Author Share Posted October 11, 2007 Excellent Ben!! Thanks mate. I have started on the roof joists but am wanting to make the roof removable so you can see the work going on inside. Not that it ill be too busy ofcourse, we will run a fleet of John Deere. :D :D Seriously, that shed is amazing!!! I've got some serious competition!!!

Deere-est Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 That's exactly my plan eventually mate, a timeline layout Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jez Posted October 12, 2007 Author Share Posted October 12, 2007 That's exactly my plan eventually mate, a timeline layout Well my workshop combined with Bens shed would be a good start. Sit those next to Grahams grain drier or cattle shed and we are on our way. Did you find it cheaper buying plastruct on line or in your local shop?

Deere-est Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 Online is cheaper when you know exactly what you want and in quantities. I only buy from model shops when I need a little bit to finish a job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
