Soooo ever since moving house the gti has been sat in a garage on the other side of town and forgot about, being there its a pain in the arse to work on so its time i moved her up here soooo i need a workshop and some where to keep her.
The area in question started out like this.
Thursday i spent a load of cash on timber and set about ripping some fences down
Then to start throwing up some 4x4 posts
Bit of a jump in progress lol, (no pics) but on with the roof
This is how iv left it this evening
Hopefully get the sides cladded up & doors put on tomorrow, then it will just be a case of taking down the half of the old shed that is now inside the new one
Edit: also the bit of fence that's inside the work shop will be coming down

Looks like a tidy workshop/garage that.
Have you used the things where you bolt the posts to the ground?
