HI all

Latest update!

Again, I was up early in order to get down to Aughrim to collect the remainder of my order.

I'm prety happy with progress so far.

Here's where I finished up last week




And from today.

Wrap and battons on



And finally, Fitted ridge beam in prep for rafters and roof in the morning.

Just a quick one re: power supply, I built a shed out my back 5/6 yrs ago and ran all the power off the kitcken sockets so as to save the hassle of running cables from the fuse board through the house. The shed is 30ft x 15ft and I have 8 sets of double sockets and 12 downlighters all running off the same supply with no problems or faults - just another option!

Ok, BUT: Just hope that them indoors use the microwave and a kettle at the same time you switch on the boiler. You will trip a breaker.

Whilst safe ( thanks to modern wiring codes ) it might just be a tad annoying. For the extra expense a dedicated circuit is well worth it.

Remember: The Nationals are just round the corner - time to get brewing

TBH been doing this way for years using both supplies at the same time and never had a breaker trip or seen too much a diff in bills.

As will said,I concur :). That's a big shed,9 metres x 4.5 metres. What you got in there. :-X

I think I'd also agree.

Anyway, I already have my fuse board with various trips and switches.

Today was a bit of a wash out, only managed to get the rafters cut and fitted.



Im away next w'end so it'll probably be slow enough over the next forthnight :(

I see you have the anti cat burglar devices fitted to your garden wall already :)

Organised cats only. Other cats are strung out on catnip and don't know what day of the week it is.  :o

Carpet thrown over the wall has potential to destroy a brew. Would be a cat-astrophe ;)

My cat can fly, how you might ask,when I fling her.
