Very well done yesterday guys, we did a GREAT and fast job on that lining and most important I had a lot of fun!
Once that the lining procedure is well understood is kind of “easy” job.
I agree that we should start with the wall asap.
As @Dermot said is possible to work at the floor and at the wall at the same time but I strongly think that if we do the wall first it will be a big big big improvement, both real and psychological.
Once that the wall is up (even without the door on) we can separate clean area from the “building site” that is now phase 2! We will have all the crap cleared from the tables and the dust and dirt finally confined!
What we can ask better than that? Anyone that is not up for construction work can finally start to actually use and enjoy phase one, with all the logical benefits!
People will feel confident to show up and even join and having more people should even fix the shortage of labour that is kind of happening now… The more people is around the more possible is that someone more will help!
Let’s go, don’t waste the momentum… wall up WALL UP! 
Anyway I’m heading to the space right now!!
Come and put some lining up on Saturday evening
Easier to put the side lining on before the floor…
Well let’s put on same side lining then!
Anyway, all kidding aside, I was just telling my opinion, I don’t know all that is involved and definitely I don’t want to get under anyone’s skin!
I recon that we need a priorities plan and I’ll be more than happy to follow it, since I can not just make my own!
Side lining is easier to do before the floor. This will take a couple hours at most though. We need to be sure we have enough material for this though, we’ve prioritised the at a height lining for the meanwhile as that’s the most painful bit.
I don’t think this needs to be a delaying thing in short.
Footings for the floor can go in before the side panels, or whilst these are being done. As it doesn’t need working at a height, and is a relatively labour free job. If the baton goes in today, we can finish up the at a height lining on Wednesday night this week.
I do really need someone to come and work out what quantity of lining is needed and / or order / blag it from elsewhere. If @unknowndomain can get in touch with his contact, I’m happy to get a van and go and fetch it. I suspect the answer is we want whatever they have right now; else we need to get more from Rockwell.
The side walls are made up of 19 (so let’s get 25 to be sure to be sure) 1.8m long sheets (assuming 1m coverage per sheet).
The arches are three panels each and should do 1m wide strips also.
That should let you do a calc on the remaining stocks and either buy more from Rockwell, or accept the use of 2nd hand panels in the ceiling.
In respect of this, we’ll need exactly 75 blocks (hard to use more than this, but I suppose a few spare wouldn’t hurt; call it 80) to do all the footings. Some can be 140mm, where the floor drops away at the back, but the majority will need to be 100mm.
There probably arent many more than about 10 of the 100mm blocks in the space now. I would go ahead and order from the sounds fa the work today, we gonna need them v soon.
Delivery which would probably cost about as much as the blocks, or they could be picked up at Acre Lane builders merchants. Total weight 1,120kg so either make 2 trips, take2 vans or split the order by two (messy/dusty side) and get the rest another time.
OR, we could go the whole hog and get all the floor timber too, which would allow for free delivery. If there’s the storage space for it, this is probably the best bet.
(as an aside, I find it slightly annoying that these sorts of discussions happen tacked on to the end of each MTS thread. Makes it hard to follow the chain of descisions. Perhaps a central thread for @forepeople? I’d include the usual suspects in such a group )
Agreed, both on the lets order all the things, and annoying ness solved by group and thread creation point.
agree with pete/tomN
