Brew house build

[Will_D]

I'd suggest a serious sized extractor over the boiler and the HLT otherwise all sorts of drips will be dripping off the roof all over your sanitissed surfaces.

Also re. the electrics: Keep the photos as to where the  cables run as the sparks has been a bit off good practice when routing the cable bundles.

They either should be in the roof and run vertically down to switches/sockets, or in the floor and run V. up to same.

Horizontal and diagonal runs are not recommended.

Declan,

I don't have any windows, less eyes looking in the better.

Im planning on building an "electric brewery" type vent system. I just need to source some sort on in-line vortice fan

Will,

I'm gutted!  I was only concerned about the fact that he drilled his holes all over the place.  I took over on the drill for the rest of the holes.

The sparks is a mate of mine and hes not charging me so I couldnt stand there and give out.  He was kind of looking at me funny and thinking this is only a shed!  :

I did mark the studs with a permanant marker and I had planned on fixing small metal plates over the lines to prevent drilling or screwing through.

Thanks

The biggest thing I found out is you never have enough sockets. Whatever number you think you need, double it. They're cheap anyway.

Hi all

I know I have'nt updated this thread in a good while!

I suppose the month of December was manic with every w'end taken up with something or another.  I dont think I finished any one specific job!

Untill now....

I dont know where to start.

Here goes:

I made progress with the outside, I was able to complete most of the cladding, fit the guttering and finish connecting to the drains.



The door built and fitted



The Inside:

I finished fitting all of the insulation and moved onto the plaster board



My sparks came back to finish the 2nd fix electrics



I was then able to finish out the plasterboard and finally dry fit my work bench



And, finally today I had a go at taping and jointing.
(did'nt enjoy this!!)



Thats it for now...

Next job is to fit the V-sheeting to the ceiling.

Looking good. Still reckon you should have put in an en-suite bedroom.

No need. He's got a drain in the floor. 

edit: I thought you said en-suite bathroom.

Hi All

and, Im done!!!

Well almost.

The outside is once and for all finished. Ive spent the last couple of w'ends and some evenings doing the last few jobs.

- fitted the granite cladding
- finished the timber cladding down to meet top of granite
- cut out bed and replanted
- re-fitted the loose paving slabs
- concreted up front edge



The front



The inside is very nearly complete

The only jobs left are just cosmetic.
I want to tile the exposed blockwork and fit an edge under the plaster board.
The floor needs to be painted(already have paint).
The ceiling needs another 2 coats of varnish, this will be done saturday and monday evenings.

The ceiling v-sheeted out and sealed with 1 coat of varnish




I suppose thats it for now

Lol, I think that was decided a long time ago

Thanks will,  I'm very proud of it myself. Best of all, I think I fullfilled all my criteria from the start.

After this w'end I'm going to step back and not think shed for a week or two. Then the hard work begins
