Yesterday I was thinking about where exactly I should position my proposed new tool store-cum-workshop. It’s a bit tricky. It needs to be in front of the house, but not so close to it as to detract from the look of the house itself while still being close enough to be easily accessible for eg electricity. It mustn’t be so close to the road as to be obtrusive while on the other hand, it mustn’t be so close to the planned position of the house as to interfere with construction. So not an easy one.<\/p>\n

However, I came up with what I think is the best compromise and today I marked it out. Shown below is my basic plan based on the contractor’s accurate ‘implantation’ (positioning) of the house.<\/p>\n

The position is not exactly as shown above but it’s near enough – a bit closer to the road than shown but not by enough to worry about. The angle (rotated ant-clockwise 45\u00b0 from due-north) is important, though, because I want the tool store to form the missing branch of the ‘Y’ shape on which the shape of my house is based. This will not only be more easy on the eye but will also give me the future option of extending the tool store into a larger detached double garage-cum-workshop with a design that matches the style of the house. I know from my computer-aided design work that that should be the ultimate objective.<\/p>\n

Here are some shots of the marked-out area.<\/p>\n

What has come as some surprise to me is just how large the area is. OK, the tool store will measure 4.1m x 3.1m and the area I’ve marked out is 4.8m x 3.6m in order to give me a border all around the store itself with a larger area of hard-standing, if you like, outside the entrance. But the differences in dimensions are not that great. I keep saying that it will only make for a ‘small’ workshop, which may be so, but I think that it will be fairly adequate for the sorts of jobs that I’ll be doing in it.<\/p>\n

In view of the size of the job, I’m now trying to line up some help as I think that it’ll be a bit too much for me alone. I’ve just received a message that Wednesday will definitely be on and even possibly tomorrow. I replied that ‘the sooner the better’ suits me fine. I also think that the amount of levelling to accomodate the caravan up there will be much less than I originally thought, though, and that it will be possible to make up the level differences using the earth dug out for the concrete base, possibly with some left over even. I can’t wait now to see things starting to happen \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
