Show me your shed

Bit of a shed (well, garage) renovation project on the go...

On Christmas Eve the silver birch at the bottom of my garden fell onto my garage

It properly fucked the roof

And covered everything in moss, broken branches and bits of asbestos

Tree surgeon came and chopped it into bits and got it off the roof

Which left me plenty of firewood:

(there was actually about twice this once I'd split the remains of the stump as well)

Had to winch the stump off the wall in order to get it cut down further

This is what was left after I'd emptied the garage into our cellar

Started to strip the old asbestos panels off. They're 40kg each and 2.8m x 1m, and I had to wear a mask while moving them and getting them wrapped so I could dispose of them.

Knocked out some of the blockwork so I could repair a some cracked joints

The ever expanding junk pile

The tree has a preservation order so will need replacing eventually

Got the last of the roof off and wrapped, and started to repair and strengthen the roof timbers

The junk pile, stump remains and wrapped asbestos all got collected. Good to have our parking space back.

Started to fit the replacement fibreglass roof panels

Fiddly but satisfying job. Needed to get some panels on as we're forecast rain for the first time in weeks tomorrow.

Once I've got the roof finished I'll move on to the electrics (more sockets!) and getting decent doors fitted.
