To be honest I wouldnt necessarily recommend him as I first contacted him at the start of May and its only just done now. To be fair to him he did a good job in the end but he wasnt confident doing the concrete so he got a guy in to do that who does a lot of work for farmers with lanes and yards so they took priority over my job. If its just tarmac i think it would be much quicker. I'll pm you.Looks a great job @FM155 ! Who'd you use for the tarmacing if you don't mind me asking? Need to in front of my garage done sooner rather than later!
@Ben 6 yes completely chuffed. Bit different to a couple of years back when you stepped over the open foundation trench full of water, eh?
Your new house and garage is looking great, very good for your first place. ;-)
I don't have anyone blocked! Lol. I knew it would take at least 2 coats, wasn't expecting anything more than what it looks like after one coat. There was 3 of us so only took a few hours.Think I've figured out that Ben10 has me blocked. I told you to spray it on before you even started! Doing it with a roller will take you forever, I had to paint an entire barn white and we done the first coat by roller which took an entire day and looked like yours afterwards. It easily would have needed another 2-3 coats. We were gutted. Then we went and got two old spray guns (dad's a sprayer) and had the lot finished in a few hours.
If you're painting a garage with that Paul make sure and mask everything off well. It gets everywhere.
This weekend I'm getting a few hours to finally tackle my shed. One of the jobs on my list is building a workbench across the width of the back.
Does anyone have any suggestions/improvements you'd suggest to someone in my position, a first time builder? I'll have the ambulance on speed dial.
Put extra support below the workbench. I put kitchen worktop with a vice in my shed but where the support legs sit it just the plywood floor. I did want them to put extra supports under the shed when it was built but they mustn't have and the worktop moves about if you are doing heavy work.This weekend I'm getting a few hours to finally tackle my shed.

See I was gonna do the entire roof lining as although I intend on putting a ceiling on its not going to be entirely seals with the first 2-3 joists left open for access so it wouldn't be a totally sealed 'chamber' as such?Don't insulate at ceiling and rafter level - pick one. You run the risk of interstitial condensation doing both.

Would that still be the case for interstitial condensation?
