alpinefocus Posted May 27, 2008 Author Share Posted May 27, 2008 does that owl scrapper of a daewoo belong to ur uncle :D that belongs to the groundworks guy, self employed chap who does the works for local builder What are you using for the walls, concrete panels or railway sleepers? going to have concrete panels all round and a section through the middle to split it up. Hopefully the new clamp will allow more covered shed space to be utillised more efficiently Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alpinefocus Posted May 27, 2008 Author Share Posted May 27, 2008 Going to be a good sized clamp Are the power lines going to have to be moved? when the large cubicle house was put up, they moved it just to give clearance for the shed. But now have admitted that it is in the wrong place when the power board first oridnally moved it. I think ot is going over to the far left of the ground right out of the way Will be interesting to see this develop Dan, will give us all some ideas I reckon, plus a nice backdrop for your sales photo's :D ;) P.S Let's keep on topic here?? the stone should be arriving this week some time, more pics soon i think. The builder doing this job, when he has finished has got to put up a new parlour and apex shed. busy times ahead so the camera is going to be flashing away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
