I cant believe how big it is

You could have an attic room in there!
Looking good though Martin.

Next project Martin : Loft extension with a hydraulic platform to raise your dishes above the roof......

Wait till the 1.8m goes up. If it goes up......

I might hang it on the wall in the summer house and not put it up

No need to cut anything down Alex ;), everything has been calculated to the mm, the 1.8 will look over the top of the SH, the pole is just sat waiting patiently

Hey Martin, a quick question - did you need planning permission for the summer house or does it count as "shed"?

I know I cant see what the rush is all about, theirs an old saying you cant rush a good thing

Summer house shed greenhouse conservatory extension can all be done under permitted development if built below a certain size in the right place 2mtrs away from boundary if you want it over 2.5 mtrs etc etc etc, there lots of ins/outs to study, ive built mine so no need for planning, it comes under permitted development.

Martin, one question that is puzzling me. Original plan was for flat roof, why the change?

( and the possible need to move the 1.2m dish )

Just for eye candy Brian, with having the large window at the front not much loglap would be seen with a flat roof, doing it like this will allow me to put more loglap into it, also it will be a nice feature looking up from the inside, 1.2 was never staying there permanently, its only there to free up the old post for testing the 1.8,

I've just checked and the 1.2 can stay there until 1.8 goes up once the roof is installed I will only be able to get to around 15W with the 1.2 but that's fine for a few weeks,

I need to stain the roof trusses now before I install the roof, like I say I am making a feature of the trusses, in between the trusses will be light oak and the trusses will be dark oak, it will save lots of cutting in if I do it now ,

Not the same as below but similar is the look I am after in the roof ,

Won't the sand make a mess in the house??

Hi, not much to report, I have stained the beams with two coats of dark oak, it could really do with a third coat but that's all its getting, hopefully I will get some of the roof done tomorrow, I will be plying the roof and insulating it, I also need to make what is called a ladder, so I have a over hang on the front of the building,
