The Workshop Refurb has started but there is a PROBLEM!

[@duncanstreet4955]

Morning JP - it’s nice to see that I’m not the only one who starts a job and then discovers problems halfway through! Glad you got them out and it all worked out!

[@Smallbarnworkshop]

Hi Duncan. Woodwork is mostly about problem solving. Regards JP

[@johnrumbles3068]

hi JP, very much looking forward to seeing the progression of your renovation to the barn, bonne chance!!!

[@Smallbarnworkshop]

Merci John. It is progressing slowly. Regards JP

1:35 Special Small Barn Forces 😂. Looking fantastic JP 👌🏼

[@Smallbarnworkshop]

Yes, I did loom a bit menacing 😂 Regards JP

[@iainrutherford184]

@Smallbarnworkshop loom and mission creep in the same vlog. It'll be JP's Small Barn Bunker before we know it 🤣

You deserved that lap of honour, well done for doing it as good as it needed to be! Happy New Year to you, thanks for all the content.

[@Smallbarnworkshop]

[@Smallbarnworkshop]

Glad you enjoyed it Robbie. Regards JP

Ladder storage is always an issue for me! Good start JP. Happy New Year mate.

[@Smallbarnworkshop]

Morning Paul. Yes, for that 0.1% of time you need to use them they are invaluable but other than that they are a pain to store. Regards JP

[@dougdavidson175]

Whoopsie. Building the shop around the ladder. Hey ho it's out and the work goes on. Thanks John. Take care & stay safe. On that note, I did notice a time or 3 when the Base Camp mask could have been in use. Nudge nudge.

[@Smallbarnworkshop]

Hi Doug. Yes fair point, I should have worn it a little more today. Thanks for the nudge 👍🏼 Regards JP

[@idlersdream826]

And so it begins …. really looking forward to seeing this progress 👍. So where’s the ladders new home going to be? Carport?

[@Smallbarnworkshop]

Hi. Probably, although I have another project in mind. Regards JP

[@terrytopliss9506]

That was a bit of a pain JP, now it’s done it’s given you more space to work with inside. Thanks for the video.👍👍

[@Smallbarnworkshop]

Hi Terry. Yes, I didn’t realise I had pinned it in. I did that 18 months ago. Regards JP

[@gedreillyhomestead6926]

Hi John, I'm beginning to think that (like a previous commenter) with the amount of ground you have, find another spot and build a proper workshop from the foundations up. Once built, you could redo the barn properly for gardening equipment and storage. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👍🏻 All the best for 2025 🍻

Hi Ged. Problem is the French planning laws and the property tax I would need to pay for a new construction. I could wait years for approval. I also like renovating rather than starting from scratch. Regards JP

@@Smallbarnworkshop you are right John, I am having the same problem with the shack outside the house I just bought here. There is a fine line between getting simple authorisations and permits. Bottom line I have to do the best I can with 23 usable square meters to fit in all my tools. In the process, I have become the best caster wheels customer in my local hardware shop😊

[@iainrutherford184]

Cracking progress... slowly slowly catchy monkey 😊

[@Smallbarnworkshop]

Absolutely Iain. I will do another couple of hours today. Regards JP
