Today was a very productive day, as my workshop has realy taken shape. I had my friend James helping me today, which is a real bonus when lifting sheets of ply into place. We started off by fixing the plywood to the joists, using counter-sunk outdoor screws. Then we trimmed the overhang with a plunge router, with a 1” guide bit. After a quick clean up we test fitted the wall sections, its realy coming together now! Tomorow I will only be able to do a couple of hours work, as I am going to watch “Racing” however I hope to do some more on monday :-)
Thanks
Callum

I’m happy for you, Callum… you’ll get many good hours out of that shop. Looks like you’re doing a good job.

Looking good…I would suggest you put your sheathing/siding material on before you hoist the walls into place. I would even prime and paint it too. Allot easier to do it on the ground than with the wall in place.
