ioneabee Posted October 18, 2011 Author Share Posted October 18, 2011 Wow.... you have a Tardis yup - built it a few years ago for my son (mainly) (honest) and then we entered it into the Narberth Winter Carnival (all lit up - and the appropriate music playing) ref - the size of the timbers - it gets very windy up here, so wanted the weight to keep it on the floor !!

sipar69 Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Wish I had a Zed Shed! I think Twickenham is the loft conversation capital of the UK. Doesn't seem to be week goes by that I don't look out the window and see the car flanked by skips, battered white vans or a lorry delivering a precariously balanced pile of scaffolding poles!

ioneabee Posted November 2, 2011 Author Share Posted November 2, 2011 Ok - bit of an update and slight halt to the progress thanks to Ebized, who pointed out planning restrictions - reminded me to check 1. whether i had planning (because it needed it) and 2. it looks too close to the road So the result was - I checked my original planning 15 years ago when i built the house and had allowed for a car port here, the only problem was, I did have it shown in line with the building !! Only option then was to cut a metre off so here's the results to date - still a bit more to do I don't think i want it to blow away !!

Watshot Posted November 4, 2011 Share Posted November 4, 2011 If it's not already in the pipeline I would suggest 30 quids worth of plastic guttering. In heavy rain there will be a lot of splash back on the low side which will go everywhere including up the side of your car, and will, in time, accelerate the rotting at the bottom of the posts on that side.
