Workshop/VAM room build

I'm about to embark on a workshop/VAM room build and I thought maybe it would be of vague interest to some people.

The idea is a place where I can not only work on projects, but also have an area for setting up dios.
It's going to be fully insulated so that I can hopefully use it all year round. It will have power and lights.

Below is the area it will be built on. Its currently occupied by a very old 7x15 shed. Unfortunately the new workshop wont be 7x15 as SWMBO has decided that she wants a pagoda  but the workshop will be 8x4 which should give me plenty of room as it's going to be a dedicated area...with no junk

Sounds good to me Chris , an area dedicated to just vam. Looking forward too seeing future progress

Nice! Can't wait to see how it turns out!

I'm vaguely interested in the new workshop...But very alarmed at the amount of space you're losing to SWIMBO's pagoda!!

After many,  many trips to the tidy tip....its empty

Think I'm gonna save knocking it down for another day as it seems that I've pulled several muscles in my back  

Looks like you got your work cut out for you.

I see what you did there

Hummm...

The last wall is down it was the blooming ivy growing from next door which was holding it up

I reckon about 3 maybe 4 more tidy tip runs and the site will be clear. I was gonna take my time, but I'm really eager to get my new workshop up and running...my head is buzzing with dio ideas.

LOL on the ivy!  

Can't wait to see your ideas!

Hahaha how did I miss that pic ? She can come round and give me a hand if she likes  ..as long as she doesn't sing

It's been a slow few weeks. It seemed to rain everytime I wanted to go outside and do anything.  
Then my back went big time....its just settled down..I hope.
Then in the space of a few days first my father-in-law then my best friend both died...which hit me hard.

Anyway...today it was a beautiful day so i managed to do a bit more. The area is clear..even the water butt stand has gone thanks to my new sledge hammer  The rubble will be used for hardcore when I extend the concrete for the pagoda.
