Project ZeeAnnex - Finished 15th March

Recommended Posts

Good evening to one and all, the following is only very loosely related to cars but a certain smurf (who knows about the little venture I need the extra space for) asked for a full pictorial account so at least 1 person should read this and I'm trying to catch up with Doogy who has a barn in his back garden!

Anyway I need a workshop (as well as a garage) and I recently acquired another compressor from eBay at a good price, so I'm taking a weekend off from cars and building Zee ZedShed Annex :clap:

 

Bit of background - we moved in here about 4 years ago and one of the first jobs was to build a workshop in the back garden - it is in fact 2 Marley prefab garages joined together with a custom roof It was in the back garden at my last house (was bigger then) but when we sold that place the new owner was building a second bungalow in the back garden and didn't want it so we brought it with us re-arranged the layout and erected it in our new back garden -

Before it was even finished it became a store shed and has basically been that until today!

So the first job tonight was to empty it out :scare:

All in the back garden covered in tarps for now

Lucky for me my daily is a pickup truck so I stopped by the builders yard on the way home and picked up this lot

We then set about making the cupboard doors fit properly and added bolts to keep em closed

Then onto the new partition wall

OMG you managed to clear that unit (mad as well be its that big) of all the parts and bits you've collected. Good show that man.

 

So what sort of "work" will occur in the workshop?

Yer took a couple of hours to empty :lol: Gonna bin some stuff but I'm terrible for hording - as you will see as the weekend goes on ;)

 

I want the space and compressor for 2 reasons

 

1. I want the sandblaster setup so I can use it for little jobs - it takes an age to get ready and makes such a mess, but it's so useful so often for cleaning even little things up!

 

2. I have found a new skill I want to learn so I have invested a few quid and want a workshop with a bit of free space to play/practice in, it's all top secret at the moment :ninja: well it would be if Mr G hadn't guessed it - don't ask me how he has a sixth smurf sense!

:lol:

 

You really do live the dream! Zed shed, zed shed 2, loads of cool toys (tools) and a s/c + nos'd zed. :cloud9:

 

I'll take a pic of my nail gun just for you tomorrow I have some great toys mate :):thumbs:

Nail gun as modelled by Buster (I think he liked it)

 

So me and Buster popped out on a road trip first thing (I got one Mr G :thumbs:)

Which meant a late start, however much was achieved :)

I'm sure some of you are wondering how my wife lets me get away with all this - simples I let her play with the toys as well :thumbs:

Buster was very happy with the door

 

KODC0163_zpsf9776354.jpg

 

While Mrs Keyser started sorting through all the Jars of nuts bolts nails etc

 

I showed Buster the next job on the list. Behind ZeeAnnex we have

 

KODC0165_zpse4171dee.jpg

 

"We have to clear all that" I said to Buster

 

 

He got scared :scare::lol:

 

KODC0171_zps09aaa03b.jpg

 

But we moved all the old copper pipe etc that came out when we refurb'd the house (I have pics of that as well if you like :lol:) which I will run down the scrappy be a few quids worth there!

 

Under that was this big pile of wood I kept when we pulled the flat roof off the extension

KODC0168_zps92f2023b.jpg

 

I told you I horde stuff that may be useful so.......

 

We moved that to one side

 

KODC0169_zps16b98f42.jpg

 

Then we cut the timber up

 

KODC0170_zps92f1a487.jpg

 

made a frame, by this time we were dodging heavy rain showers

 

KODC0172_zps6d1060ad.jpg

 

But managed to get the base finished as the light went :thumbs:

 

KODC0175_zpsefeaf593.jpg

 

That is the base for ZeeAnnex lean too and will hopefully get finished tomorrow.

 

Massive shout out to Buster and of course Mrs Keyser for all the help today, still got plenty left to do tomorrow :)

 

Now to chill out watch some TV and have some food.

 

Have a pleasant evening all.
