Lining! Lining! Lining! You love Lining right? It keeps the water out, and makerspace in.

Well, this weekend is your weekend! We’re going to be screwing a tonne of it to the ceiling, and you’d look GREAT doing it too - if you’re new, old, or just out of practice, all are welcome, much to be learnt! Even more fun to be had.

RSVP below from 10:30 AM.

Beers on me after work c/o Canopy.

@conomara may also do some stuff on Saturday if we can get a good team down both days?

I’ll be there this Sunday. Looking forward to it. Hopefully the cold will mean i won’t forget my coat this time.

A reminder about make the space on Sunday! Come down and get stuck in! Loads of work to be done, much fun to be had!

I’ll be down from 11:30AM ready put up lining and dink copious amounts of tea :slight_smile:

I am at the Space now.

I’m heading to the space now, sorry for the delay!

Got taken out by a cold but doing open night Wednesday and can do some work then if anyone else is around to help.

hey folks, what was the progress today?

the shutter just closed so I’m hoping for news :slightly_smiling:
/me bounces from foot to foot

Huge process today, we investigated the leak in the toilet again, apparently now fixed and repair started, but we want to focus on construction on the weekends and Wednesday evenings, so those that want to work on the toilet please focus this on other nights.

Fran and his brother Robin threw battens up so that now 2/3rds are done, although some alterations might be required because of the shape of the arch.

We also managed to put the one above the wall up with the spare materials.

Then we started putting the middle sheets up…

We managed to get 5 up, and then…

We started getting the long side sheets up, but it turned out to be a major pain, there were a few things we did in the prep that made it much harder, it turns out saving time by reusing the old battens caused it to be much more complicated.

The plan is more work tomorrow I believe.

Outstanding :slight_smile:

We’re now probably at a point where materials for walls and floors could be ordered. We’ll be at both of those points pretty sharpish, and already we can be Starting the divide between phase 1 and 2 and / or cladding the phase 1 side of the block wall.

How are we for storage space? We’re talking about quite a lot of timber…

PS: @marketing - this is worth social mediaring

Exciting to see such great progress! Wow!

Maybe floor and Phase1 to 2 dividing wall materials is a good idea, then get workshop wall stuff when at least one side of floor is down?

Yes to blogging about the progress.

Also need to figure out how we’re going to centralise / archive these photos.

cool, great to see lining go up,should we hold off getting floor materials? i think keeping phase two floor as free as possibwill speed up the linings and battens and we prob wont be starting floor for a while right?

Floor is next after lining, isn’t it?

I think Conor’s right. There no point in starting the floor before the lining’s done, and that job is easier with a clear floor.

The Phase1/2 wall can go in as soon as the first row of lining is done, so those materials are worth getting. Can we make use of any of the old rafters that have been hanging around for ages?

Here’s my current thoughts on that btw:

(extent and height of cladding to blockwork wall tbc.)
`

i thought we were going to try to get the dividing stud wall between phase one and two started once the first new row of lining went up? that would allow us pretty much seal phase one away from work?
We are building that stud wall around the doors, do we have the doors?
