Hi all,

Not so much a project diary more of a project look-back. I built myself a small workshop extension in 2016 and recorded it. Just got round to editing the footage and thought you like minded bunch might enjoy it.

What details do you have on the glazing salvage? Im looking to glaze my new shed in a budget manner.

Ps no need to shout, unless you're Barry Scott.

haha I am a bit loud

I will do a video on that in the coming months but the quick and dirty method is to get your hands on some old blown double glazing sealed units (just look around and see who is having there windows redone). We had ours done a while back so I kept hold of a load of the units. You can cut them open with an angle grinder and a slitting disc then scrape off the sealant with a Stanley knife blade and give it a clean up with acetone and you have yourself a free piece of window glass. Then just cut it to size with a normal diamond tipped glass cutter. Hay presto!

What a great couple of videos , thanks for sharing them

It’s the same shape as the one I’m planning for my own garage extension . Mig he even get around to staring it this summer having seen the videos

nice one, well done!

Thank you all for your complementary comments!

Maybe you could do a short video about the legal side, planning permission, wiring etc.

Thanks,

Thankfully it's permitted development; all the guidelines can be found on the planning portal.
I insulated and dry lined the ceiling but not the walls. Really glad I did, it has kept the temperature much more acceptable in there over the lest couple of days with all the hot weather we have been having I did video it but I didn't really turn out very well (the video that is) so it didn't make the cut.

Cheers
