Ok, got some pics from the beginning of the project. Just to give you an idea of what I had to start from. Just so you know, I have some basic carpentry skills ( though mostly in much smaller things ) & I am in no way shape or form a builder. Just look at my lovely soft hands!
However, I do like coming up with half baked ideas that have about a 50/50 chance of working out ok. I like those odds.
^ due to a rather complicated life. I don't currently live in the house I own, but rather split my time between my Parents place & my Uncle's. I decided to build my workshop at my Parents, as there was a corner of the garden that had become a dumping ground for all the old crap that wasn't wanted anywhere else. This eyesore used to be my mum's potting shed. The window above is my dad's garage/workshop.
It's a reasonably quiet area, most of the time, so I thought it would be a good place to work.
I see nothing but potential at the time & so... I begin tidying.
^ Well, this side's not so bad!
^ Oh shit!
^ Oh bloody hell.
^ FFS!, I'm getting out of here! I'm sure I'm going to find Bill & Ben buried under all that junk.
^ The pile just never ends.
^ All those barrels are full of the most stagnant, rank spelling water that you'll ever smell outside of a sewer. As I soon discovered after I'd poured a few pints of it down my legs :-O
^ Hmmm ? A good place to work?
^ Is it too late to escape? I like the idea of having double doors though!
Well that's it for today. I'll sort out the next batch of pictures as soon as I can.
