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

Looks good, hope you are not doing this in the south as it is blazing hot down here!

I’m happy for you, Callum… you’ll get many good hours out of that shop. Looks like you’re doing a good job.
Remember on the roof to stagger your sheeting (like bricks in a wall)... gives it lots of strength.

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.
