Title: Greetings
Post by: Katchin on October 05, 2016, 05:05:05 AM

Hi to all.
Been a while since I contributed but have been lurking in the background.
A lot has changed for me since my last visit.  I am now back in the Lancaster / Morecambe area,  but married!  And living in a new house.  A house without a workshop,  oh dear. 

So I decided to remedy that situation (after much begging).
I decided to build a workshop made from stone this time,  rather than wood, to keep costs down.

My father in law and I supervised the younger ones Barrow in the concrete,  which we then sorted

The building materials were delivered out front,  and I had to move them to the back on my own,  sometimes bribery fails  ???

That was 10 days ago,  since then I have been let down 6 times by builders,  with a grand total of only 2 hours building actually being done,  but have been assured (again),  that the shell will be up by the weekend.

Not sure what roof is going on there yet,  as for the doors,  I guess I'll make those  ;D

Hello there, John and welcome....good to hear that a new workshop is on its way, but so frustrating when things happen so slowly. I don't know about other members who have viewed this item, but I'm not able to see your pictures.

Should be sorted now, not sure why two of them are sideways though, they aren't taken that way and the originals aren't sideways
