I will "artistically/autistically" clad the lower end (the second "bay" away from the back door) in waney edge planks sawn on my Logosol mill, so as to have my logs nearer hand and bare foot accessible.

Then open up the currently closed in bay for tractor storage and access.

Then I gotta "finally" (pending this 5 or six years) build my boiler room around my outside Solarbayer boiler.

Getting there!

Went to steel stockist, local family firm, looked around their stock and picked the 90mm box, also bought a length of 100 by 6mm(&would rather have had 10mm) flat to make brackets etc, then pondered over time, so by the time I started measuring and cutting it all fell into place, really pleased with the anti drip fabric coated "tin" from Steadmans, at 0.7mm thick (as opposed to the standard 0.5mm) it is simply twice the product.

I oh-so-nearly, did not get it hot dip galv, but very pleased I did.

Cost, for hot dip galv, about 70p/kg, used about 15m of the 90mm box at nom 10kg/m=150kg + a wee girder at about 30kg, say 180kg-200kg at 75p/kg=£300.00=bloody hell!

but a tidy looking lifetime job.
