Gotcha

You could also clad and insulate a steel frame in a similar way, but for simplicity Id go for an insulated metal roof.

Ive just submitted a pre planning app for a new building, being national park is a pain in the nether regions.

That was what the £26K quote was for. I wasn't prepared to dig that deep for composite panels....

I was suggesting roof only, but prices for box profile has surprised me in comparision to fibre cement for a livestock shed roof.

How do you proposed to heat this........

As I kinda slagged off the Plasterboard sander (it's just too heavy) I thought I would pass along a success story. I have had one of these Blade Runner plasterboard cutters for quite a while now and every time I use it I mean to sing its praises. It just works, minimal cut edge clean up needed and I can cut much thinner sections than I can with straight edge and knife. I am not sure if they are still available new but if you got a lot of plasterboard to put up they are well worth the investment.

It almost makes me want to throw up some plasterboard just so I can use one of those.
Almost...

If she wants to practice she can train our dog. Took one look at the rain today and turned around and came back into the house

I would have been happier if he had let me know before I put my coat and shoes on

Nice build.

Just redone our en-suite bathroom and I’m enjoying the gratitude too. Got the living room to decorate next. Happy days.

Just thought I would give an an update and a glowing recommendation for a heater.
Whilst she was grateful for a little while she soon found a few things that could have been done better. Namely the heaters ; too loud and the dogs don't like the blast of air from the indirect heater I put in.

To be honest short of installing a central heating boiler and Radiators I was running out of ideas. Then I saw this advertised and all I can say is WOW, Yes it was very expensive, yes I had to drive for 4 hours to collect it and Yes she is happy, it chucks out more than enough heat to raise the temperature from 7c to 18c in 30mins and it does it at 45db. She is happy which means I am too.

Its made by a company called Rex Nordic and this one is the smallest they do at 13kw. Bearing in mind while her training room may be 405m3 it is well insulated. It was on from 9am to 6pm Saturday and it used less than 3 litres of kerosene @ 26p per litre.

No your not missing anything, I can't believe how clean burning it is. No exhaust necessary just open a window for a bit of ventilation. I have sat a co meter right on top of it and it doesn't register. I am seriously impressed.
