And for the price I could have had another 4 radiators...













But 4 radiators would only make a very small shed

[Matt]

Woo! Awesome! Very satisfying to have a nice new base! What's the brick island for?

[fjtwelve]

Its on the cover of the inspection chamber for the water connection so the concrete finisher could lay a plank to it to get to the corner without touching the top of the concrete. I suppose he could have been dangled by his ankles from the top of the wall but the safety elf wasn't strong enough

[Phmode]

I think we definitely need a ride out for the topping off ceremony!

No posts on this topic for 120 days? The time they are a changing
Well today was MOT day, and passed. 108726 miles, and the lowest annual mileage bar covid times. Think its only been out twice in the last 6 months but still started on the button.
Althought the shed is structurally complete it still needs doors and windows, and the roof felt is only half done. Trying to get dry weather and 10C for the adhesive  is very difficult. I tried yesterday and the wind just blew everything everywhere. I do have a mostly dry shelter now but last nights wind and rain has got inside the only opening and its all damp again now. Not ready for bikes yet

The shed is looking good Martin.

[Matt]

Hurrah! Looks great!

What's the bare roof material in the first photo, ply? Is it epoxied or something or are you expecting damage from the rain?

This whole stage of building always confuses me, as regards that bit between watertight and not watertight where there's wood and stuff exposed that will expand/get messed up.

[fjtwelve]

The ply is now covered in felt underlay and I'm starting to put the felt on top. Hence the frustration about needing dry weather at 10C. And encasing wet wood is not something I'm keen on either. It will dry out- eventually.  But I don't want the water blowing its way out next summer

[Matt]

Ah I understand now thank you .

Apparently next Thursday you'll have a couple days decent weather!

Will the whole thing be sealed up enough to be able to use a dehumidifier? As you may recall i've got one in my garage, although even with all my work to weather seal the garage I still find I'm spending a fair whack on the dehumidifier running . Also it's flippiung humid in NZ so not sure I can win any time soon!

A-may-zing!

Swimbo's car policy went up by 40%. Taking me off her policy (with the same LV who insures me) reduced it by £170...

Then my policy renewal came in at £701 compared to £468 last year.

Off to see the Meerkat...

The cheapest cheap policy was £769'ish. Six providers down the list and we up to £2,700.

Decided it was cheaper to drive without insurance. They can only lock me up once and there's limitless free sex inside...

... just send us your bank details so we know where to pay the money! 

It's not often insurance companies to such things. Enjoy it!

Just parted with 31 quid for the debatable privilege of watching motogp for a month. Think I should get myself a vpn if I could figure it out

[richtea]

Now TV (aka Sky without a long contract) would be cheaper, but they've removed MotoGP.
You only get dull-as-ditch-water F1 ("My tyres are going off, and he touched me in that corner, boo hoo"):

So if you find you enjoy it either go full-on BT/TNT (i.e. a 24 month broadband contract) or gen up on VPNs, which will be something like a fiver a month. (And no - I couldn't be arsed either since I already have BT.)
