Nearly Finished...

5/31/2017

By the end of this week we should (hopefully) have finished the major building work, theres still a ton of work to do, decoration, fitting lights, fitting out work benches not to mention the huge amount of re-landscaping we now have to do to get the garden back. But in all if feels like a huge achievement, this time last year we were still doodling plans on old envelopes!

Heres where we are at...

Picture
  We are super happy with the roof, the whole garage has been build to house standards so its probably way over spec for just a garage but seeing as how we will be spending a huge amount of time in the building it makes sense. We have some cool galvanised guttering going on end of the week which should look great next to the grey soffit boards.

The studio is a great space, I so glad we went for a larger door way opening though, with a normal sized door it would have felt like a cell! It was really hard to get a good pic of the space before we painted it will all the scaffolding plus it looked super dark!
Picture
As we weren't plaster boarding the walls but painting the breeze blocks we had to paint before the electrics went in as they were all surfaced mounted, this led to a few late night painting sessions as we raced the electricians!
Picture
The electrical truncking is all factory grade, so super tough which is great for the garage/workshop plus looks cool as hell! Who knew we would get so hung up on things like switches and plug sockets!
Picture
Since then it just been enless painting, if I never have to paint another breeze block wall again it will be too soon!
Picture
I managed to pick up these galvanised outdoor lights from eBay for a bargain, they will go on each end of the building.

Picture
Also from eBay is this amazingly cool Russian military lamp which we hope will go in the studio. Unlike the aluminium outdoor lamps this bastard has quarter of an inch thick explosion proof glass so it weighs a ton.
Picture
And lastly heres the stove we are hoping to have fitted, its handmade by a little firm in Wales called Chilli Penguin, these mini 2kw models are designed for yurts and garden offices so its perfect for what we need it for....plus its called a Chilli Billy, how cute is that!!
