This will be a short post as there is not a great deal of interesting or overly complicated things to see at this stage. I fitted the floor using 24mm tongue and groove treated floorboards. I recommend using a treated board as it is an outside building and may be subjected to cold damp conditions on occassion and you do need try and protect the floor as best as possible. You can see the edge of my floor labours as well as the dogs tail in the bottom right of this not so great pic... a floor is not the most interesting thing to look at so didnt think to take a photo at the time and it was very late when I finished.To ensure that the shed was well insulated I used 50x50mm timbers for the walls to create a cavity for the 50mm thick insulation panels squares of insulation rather than on a roll I prefer working with panels especially as I have made the spaces between uprights to just smaller than the... 2010-5-28T00:00:00Z http://www.funktiondjs.com/page7.htm#66292 It has been a while since any posts as I have been working hard on promoting and building the mobile DJ business and trying to get my head around a couple of tricky areas on the funkshed build. From the image you can see that I have eventually moved on and managed to get the poly roof on. This required some jiggerypokery with the roof beams as I found that buying poly roofing cut and finished to measure is not always the best plan if you have not built something like this before. The problem was that my building skills were not as accurate as the guys cutting the poly sheets so I had to move the beams around a bit. The suppliers of the sheets were brilliant and they delivered everything I needed to do the job please check them out if you need anything polycarbonate roofing wise httpwww.livsupplies.co.ukindex.htmThe installation is pretty straightforward as long as the bars that join the sheet together are fixed straight square and there is no bend along its length.

I need a space where I can practice practice practice produce music and review equipment for the YouTube channel. I am building a shed to all intense and purposes from scratch because I could not find one the right shape and size. It is a bit daunting as I have not really built anything like this before but very excited at having the space to myself and fitting it out just how I need it. Will keep adding posts at key stages and here is a pic of stage 1.I think it is important for a DJ to have a place where they can spend time working on their skills and craft and to be surrounded by inspirational stuff. I am planning on insulating the walls to keep the winter nights out and it will have a polycarbonate roof which will let in plenty of light.Stage 1 Flooring joists side frames and roof pitch calculatedCome back in a little while to see the next stage of the build and if you are thinking of building something like thi... 2009-11-1T00:00:00Z http://www.funktiondjs.com/page7.htm#50413 What a great day BPM have got it goin on and this year was no exception in my opinion the best yet.
