So these are the sheds that will become a workshop and store. The place was so overgrown we didn’t know we had these until a lot was cut back. We believe they were built in 1936 (I found that date in one of the concrete floors lol) and the bricks apparently were created by hand by the family that lived here and built the old house and sheds etc.
So the plan is for basic repairs to make it usable and survive another winter and then possibly give it a full upgrade next summer.
This was a chicken house, I shoveled shit for a full saturday to clear that lol. Its not cleaned and getting a bit of a white undercoat. Plan is to have it finished this weekend. It will be for storing materials etc.
This is the main workshop. The door is again a temporary fix. It was an up and over door that had to be broken off as it was jammed shut. I have given it some basic reinforcement and rehung it on hinges instead. It will get a lick of paint just to tidy it until I get it replaced with a new home made door of my design lol
Some pics of what I’m up against on the interior of the workshop.
And this is the roof that Im going to try and patchup. I had to go in with a chainsaw and cut away a ton of bushes that had completely overgrown the thing. It was very hard going and Im cut to ribbons. But I dont have the resources or help just at the moment to tackle a complete new roof so I have to make a patchup of some kind work 🙂
