Front Wall Started.

Wednesday 30th of August 2017



A full day working on the front of the workshop today - almost all the framing complete.

Door casings set and window casing in place.

The window will have two double glazed units spaced 30mm apart for sound proofing.
The window looks into the office.

The left hand double doors are for access to the floor to ceiling wood rack and the cross cut table.
I'm thinking to hide these doors by running the ship lap cladding right across them - you would only see the saw cut around the doors - no handles - bolted from inside.

The centre doors line up with the central walkway and I'm thinking to make a feature of them by adding moulding rectangles on them and painting the doors grey - possibly ?

The central door frame and window will have 3 inch architrave around them in dark green to match the summer house.
The ship lap will be light green also matching the summer house.

A 10 inch deep facia board in dark green will finish it off.

OSB sheathing and Tyvek paper next - then acoustic insulation behind the facia board and then OSB sheathing over it.

The doors are fire doors for sound proofing - heavy - I am trying to find cheap parliament hinges - 6 pairs - to allow for the ship lap on the front of the doors - struggling a bit.

For now - the doors are just propped up in place to see how they look.

So - still a lot to do.

Off to Blazer tomorrow for the weekend - back on Monday night.
