Workshop Dreams

Well here we go with the building of my new workshop.
It's taken months but I have finally got to the finished building stage.
next is an overly complex wiring scheme and moving some of my machines in.
Thats all coming up I hope you enjoy seeing how I made the building.
Cheers

[@contessa.adella]

19:50 “Edward the compressor”😂 brilliant pun. The problem with any shed style outdoor building in Britain, insulated or not….is moisture. Particularly over winter if the place is not heated. Come spring you decide to go back into the workshop and find all your tools have rusted. I find ferrous metals rust even if left in my closed conservatory. Ventilation is a double edged sword when the weather is bleak…Do you let all that wet air get inside or not? If you can afford to leave a heater running safely over winter that’s the best solution, but it will cost you!

[@stevenbrown5237]

A dehumidifier may help with this. Permanently drained outside.

[@CazualHaze]

Yep I agree I will see how I get on with it. I am going to put a solar array on the roof so there may be spare power to keep it dry. We’ll see I guess Thanks for the comment cheers

[@gbwildlifeuk8269]

Ive never had a problem in 2 decades which i think is due to tools stored in wooden boxes, just like the old days!

[@micmike]

Nice Job, good on ya! Looking forward to more details

This is a fantastic workshop, great size and it looks amazing. I love the attention to detail. I recently made a workshop in my garden and have already started using it. My workshop is no where near as large as this but it’s enough for what I will use it for. Well done 👍🏽

[@CazualHaze]

Thanks it’s taken a lifetime to be able to afford and have the time to build this shop. Cheers

[@andrewrees5426]

[@CazualHaze]

Thank you kindly only 59 but still feeling it! Cheers

[@olewurtz7625]

What a build. I’ll start following your channel and be checking in on your progress. I’m very similar to you, in the way that I mostly work alone and end up in situations where I’m in one place, unable to move, and the tool that I need is at the opposite end of the room, or just 2” out of my reach. I recently had my dream garage built. Only a 36 sq meter, but in two levels with an equal sized basement and a 1x4 hole in the floor, aka a pit. My dream garage.

[@CazualHaze]

Good work sounds like a good shop / garage. I find work is like those puzzles where you slide squares around to make a picture, you have to think several steps ahead! Cheers

[@jsincoherency]

Nice work, looks like you did a good job, I bet you can't get wait to get your machines setup in there.

[@CazualHaze]

Thanks forward to starting the fitout

Thanks for this, great job. I’m still planning my workshop which I’m thinking of self constructing so gathering tips and tricks.

[@CazualHaze]

Hopefully this helps! Cheers

[@Bob.Jenkins]

That's an awesome build - as a 65yo DIYer I admire your tenacity. I had similar problems with the floor in my own workshop and went with a Rubber Floor Paint made by Palatine Paints - it's been down now for 5 years and is durable and water resistant. I highly recommend it.

[@CazualHaze]

Thank you very much! The epoxy I used is dear and full of pinpricks so the jury form me is out so far. Cheers

Awesome workshop, I live in Australia now, previously North Wales, most roofs here are tin, hated it when we first moved here but love listening to the rain when it happens now! Oh and by the way, I supply off grid and grid connect solar systems with batteries here in Western Australia!

[@CazualHaze]

Hi Howard, Going to interesting to see how I get on filming with a tin roof. I am going to add a solar system it just makes sense environmentally and economically! Cheers

[@jimgeelan5949]

Bloody brilliant space, looking forward to seeing the next videos. I think i would have raised the ceiling joists and had more head room just because of the things i make but wow.

Thanks I dropped the roofline because I wanted it to blend into the area and not appear too big. Cheers

Really lovely job, it's no fun getting older. I'm just about to move to southern Italy and build tree houses and cabins for air BnB. Up side is warmth for your joints.

[@CazualHaze]

Best of luck! Good choice you get a lot more for your money in Europe Cheers

[@thomasbroker69]

Looks great built something similar myself although a lot smaller & a flat roof, this what I want next once I get a house with a big enough garden.:) can’t wait too see you plan it out.

[@CazualHaze]

Sounds great! I have been told by several builders to use pond liner butyl for fat roofing. Best of luck with it.

[@KravchenkoAudioPerth]

Watched the whole thing. You accomplished a lot. Vertical siding is normally nailed blind through the tongue where you don't see the nail, similar to your proper explanation for your horizontal siding. But, none pf it is ever going to fall off! No lintel over the windows would get you a structural inspection failure here in Canada. But it appears that your applied beam and posts are a stop gap. Liked the wall insulation. What about the ceiling? Most of your heat loss is through your ceiling! Your plasterboard lift is a godsend indeed. I've used them enough that I bought one about 20 years ago. Best thing I ever purchased. Were about the same age. I feel your pain! Proud of you! I learned at the side of Masters. You did this all on your own. Something to be proud of. Mark

[@CazualHaze]

Cheers mark, Yep I know the siding (we call it cladding) is usually hidden nailed, truth is I got a bit trigger happy and as you say it wont fall off! The lintel is not clear from the video my building inspector made me add two lots of 180 x 50 beams over each window. They are nailed glued and screwed together and fully support the joists also the rafter ends. He was happy and so therefore I am as well. The ceiling has 150mm rockwool missed adding that on the video but it is there. I could not have done it without the plasterboard lift I hired it in, it was a bit beat up but did the job. In hindsight I would recommend anyone wanting to do this sort of thing to get a good mitre saw and a nail gun! I am proud of it so far I really needed the extra space. Visiting Canada soon meeting up with our daughter she's in Vancouver, lovely country!! Cheers

[@KravchenkoAudioPerth]

@@CazualHaze Wave as you fly past Ottawa. If you plan on looking around the Capital let me know. I'd be happy to show you around. You are 100% right on the nailer. As a young man I hammered everything. I can't do that much more than one day anymore. But that shop of yours is a days framing. We used to nail on the exterior cladding to while the wall was laying down. So much easier. Working as you did it was not so easy. You will enjoy Vancouver. It's quite different from England that's for sure. Mark

Cost as much as a small family car… but still wow! What a fantastic build. Honestly it is better than some of the flats I’ve lived in. I’m in the process of clearing ground for a shed/workshop myself. I’m not going to do anything as good as this, but then mine will have to do. You have given me a lot of ideas. That’s been a real pleasure to watch.

Next time you have problems with sticky residue try a toffee wheel. Hadn’t heard of these before but saw them on a KZbin video and bought one. Fantastic, makes short work of any sticky residue without damaging the base layer.

[@stuffoflardohfortheloveof]

Very good, really interesting. The only thing that I'd query (not a criticism) is the roof vapour barrier being laid directly on the waferboard in regards to condensation/lack of breatherbility. It may not be an issue but I think I have ocd anyway 😊......the 'overhang' construction on the gables are called gable-ladders by the way. 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@CazualHaze]

Hi I know exactly what you mean I was concerned enough to ring the tin roof manufacturer. They told me what I was doing was ok and the roof should last 30 years. Not a builder so not sure what to call things. Cheers

[@JH-pi3hc]

Nice build! Shame about those screws on the cladding but noone will see them, except us 😉

[@johnwillis7060]

I don't comment on too many videos, but I have to on yours, for several reasons. First of all, magnificent build, together with great and amusing narration. If you don't mind, I'm going to call my compressor 'Edward' from now on for reasons only the English will likely understand 😄. Like you, I'm also belt and bracers to a level of annoyance and disbelief from my Son 🙄. Finally, you haven't mentioned any security measures you will be taking, I'm hoping to see this in your next video. With the value of tools and modern DIY equipment you will probably be storing, can I suggest cameras and lights leading up to the building and on all corners, motion alarms on doors and windows, anti-climb paint on all vulnerable areas above head height, and a couple of rottweilers permanently residing inside - belt and bracers don't forget.

[@CazualHaze]

Wow thanks for the comment I’m going to install a cyberdine terminator which will also give me a steady supply of fresh muntjack deer for the barby Cheers

[@mikebuick2332]

Not sure how I stumbled on this video but what a build! Out of curiosity, as I’m about to do something similar, why did you decide on a timber frame and not concrete blocks? I’ve priced mine up and it’s almost half the cost using concrete blocks vs timber.

[@CazualHaze]

If you’d seen any brick work I have done you’d know why I went down the timber path. I hope to get 25 years out of it so should see me into my dotage. Cheers

[@james5300]

What a fantastic build. I want to replace an existing workshop in my garden built in the 70 or 80’s , but the building regs and having to please a building inspector is putting me off. Any chance of a video on how you found the reg. process? (Probably only of interest to people in the UK though!)

[@CazualHaze]

Hi James I would give you planners a ring as you are replacing an existing structure you may only need to make it look the same size wise! I found they were always happy to have an informal chat. Cheers

[@CaptainofmyShed]

Would be great to see a cost breakdown. Lovely space!

[@CazualHaze]

I’ve been cagey about costs as it fixes the video in time. My costs have also included tools etc that I needed. Cheers

[@CaptainofmyShed]

@@CazualHaze , Yeah fair enough, cost of timber is not the most stable is it. Well enjoy your new space, it looks fantastic.

[@James-cn9no]

Good job! Glad to see you used RockWool. Good stuff, that.

[@CazualHaze]

Yes! Thank you! It’s in the ceiling also but I missed that on the video. Cheers

[@ice4142]

Well done. Two things not mentioned were ceiling insulation and the lintels over the windows which seen to have been added at the end. I did wonder why no lintels over the windows when you put one over the door. Did you forget it was it due to the reclaimed windows you sourced? Shame your building inspector didn't mention it while you framed it. Looks great

[@CazualHaze]

I missed it out on the video but there is 150mm rock wool in the ceiling. The windows were my biggest mistake they had to go high to make the bench that ill fit in front 900 high. So they are propping up the top wall plate. I thought that was good enough the building inspector thought differently hence the extra timber to act as a lintel. Bit of a pain as I need to do more work to fit trunking around them. Cheers

[@herraghty]

Enjoyed that. What air nailer did you use? Looked like the silverline brad nailer for the cladding and the yellow one a finishing nailer?

[@CazualHaze]

The other nailer is a 34degree framing nailer from machine mart in the uk. If you have a compressor far cheaper than a fancy battery or gas nailer. Cheers

[@nathanbeames6582]

Hi, great build .. and nice gentle commentary. I'm a cabinet maker by trade and need to build one in the garden myself this year. I was wondering if you needed planning permission on the height? (It looks more than 2.5 in the vid and less than two metres from the boundary fence). If you did get planning permission, was it fairly straightforward? . Thanks

[@CazualHaze]

Hi Nathan, Yes I did need planning which was straightforward. The problems started with the square meterage as it’s over 30m2 it needed building regs that’s not straightforward or easy. Cheers

[@waimoana2648]

Very impressive that you did that mostly by your self. But a couple of questions - did you insulate the ceiling ? And what about ventilation? Here we have to ventilate the attic space.

[@CazualHaze]

Hi yes the ceiling is ventilated there is a small air flow through the bargeboards into the roof. There is also 150mm rock wool up there. Cheers
