28th November 2013 - Various Hobbies - Workshop

Published on 15 November 2022 at 02:08

Got up all bushy eyed and ready for a good day down the workshop,

this lasted till about 9am, when i started to get ill with the pain from my legs again, and feeling dizzy and sick.

So I went to bed, thinking an hour or so would make me feel better, 5 hours later I am finally awake and feel like shit.

all my joints are killing me and the effort to get down stairs is about as much as I can face

After listing some more mags4nabd on Ebay and finally bored stiff and pissed off. I forced myself down the workshop! To be honest thought I may just sit there, but lets see what happens. Only the 2nd time ive dragged the big one outa the workshop - but
Its a right mess in here
But I just enough room to work on the wall and that's the main thing.
I bring the last 2x2 batton from the other shed ( most of the rest or up in the worktop roof, were I cant get to them at the moment 🙁 and fix the next batton were I thought it should go
Thes old brackets are from the units and bunk beds I built for our 4 kids in the 90s 🙂 I knew they were gonna come in handy, as well as the show box full of assorted screws will help loads 🙂
Right now i have a sighter I need to sort this area out. The 2x2 batton is actually square, unfortuantly workshop frame isint! So as theres so much difference between depths just here, I will make this into a box section just to tidy things up
I ucut out the excess in an effort to get it sorta squarish to the frames
But the angle grinder isn't really the correct tool
So back to the drawing board for now
Right moving on, this off cut will do for support for the hardboard lining 🙂
Alth I can drill thru the 2x2 batton on one side, the other forced to used the old brackets and 1 3/" screws, still its solid 🙂 I was gonna but the next hardboard sheet to the one I done the other day, but then remembered that wont work with what I am do
I but up the first 2x2 batton against the 2 I screwed together yesterday, hopefully will make the lining with the hard board a lot easier 🙂 and look neater
Looks tidy and the spirit level says I have a straight line 🙂 Not sure if thats a plus with a shed that as moch as 18" out of line in places and also some of the original 2x2 battons twisted, before i put up the 1" chipboard to help give this side of the
But remembering that the box section to level tyhe walls up means I had to move this batton a good foot further down the wall
Starting to look more solid now
screwed into batons together with 4" screws 🙂
this little baton is lined up
and screwed in place
and this off cut is also screwed onto the battons at the bottom with 4" screws. I need to find my electric planer to shape the top similar to the 4x2 beam on the other side 🙂
And finally a 4" screw thru the upright batton and its all done. Thats it for today, My body just dont seem to want to do what I do anymore, and am seriously considering just giving into it and selling up, but then again hopefully tomorrow I will feel be
