OK , Here we go,
Basically I decided against Poly Sheeting the whole thing, it's a load of un necessary work, so I bit the bullet and ordered a low* estimate of 40 sq metres of 19mm x 150 mm Sarking Boards !!
*I'd rather under estimate on a job like this, than have a load left over, saves waste
I decided while the weather was good I'd get them all fired up to make a big dent in the outside cladding, before I finish the Wiring, then I'd know how many more I'd need to finish it off !!
This takes a lot longer to put up but will last many years longer and doesn't need Woodstaining straight away as they are pressure treated.
Also the Main Electric Cable was coming out of the Concrete Floor about 1 metre away from the wall, as originally this base was put down for a Man Cave "Hobby Shed", which was going to have a Toilet in the Corner so the Consumer Unit would have been on the Toilet Wall, which isn't happening now, so I needed to dig up a channel out of the existing Concrete and drop in a Conduit so the Power Cable now runs up inside the South Wall, and re instate Concrete ............
Workshop has now got manic busy both last week and even more so this week, I have 5 Cars arrived here just today lol
No bad thing as Christmas is just around the corner and there will be another large-ish Invoice from the Timber Merchants arriving early December
Anyways, I been beavering away in between Jobs ................
The 10mm Leccy Cable now inside the Wall, will put the Armoured Cable Head Joint here just above the Conduit, it will then be hidden inside the Wall later on and soon will be run up to the Consumer Unit from that with 10mm Twin & Earth :-

The South Wall Cladding started, going up nice and level using 15mm Overlaps, Poly Sheeted the top as that will be the last bit to be finished (fiddly getting the angles and Joints) :-

The Rear (Eastern) Wall, stopped there as this is the easiest, no Joints just single 4.8m lengths trimmed a gnats will be easy to rattle the rest up
:-

And the "Dark Side" the Northern Wall which is a pain to access due to the Trees and uneven narrow Ground with a banking up to the Main Road, this was a beast yesterday, and I have 8 Boards left this morning, so enough to finish it perhaps with 2 or 3 left to whack on the Rear, hopefully before the weekend
Inside North Wall :-

and Outside North Wall through the Main Road side Jungle :-

So I estimated I need 20 more Boards, ordered this morning, hopefully will arrive by the weekend !!
The offcuts will be wide enough to run down the Door Posts when I widen them apart, which is what the two 50mm x 150 mm timbers are for to bolt together and so make a nice timber Lintel across the front above the Doors, which I have now settled will be one at 1220mm wide and one at 2440mm wide "Barn Style" Doors, giving me a 3.6 m opening to get the Cars in and out much easier
I should have enough 48mm x 100mm to build the Frames for them before Cladding them with 19mm Marine Grade Ply 👿
Cheers for now, Dave
