carastro Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 (edited) I've never seen an obsy put together so quickly, and I am not talking about the time lapse, I mean this seems to have got this far in two days.

Anyway, look forward to the next stage. Carole Hey Carole, when i started last year with the concrete work and preparing the walls i had a small gap in my agenda, so i only had a few days then. Next week is an Easter week-off in construction nationally, so i'm using this to work for myself. I did quite some preparing for this week to maximize efficiency so i hope to amaze you once again ? will post time-lapse..

Miguel1983 Posted April 15, 2019 Author Share Posted April 15, 2019 progress of today, we have put the walls in place and started with the roof beams. The black brick is Faomglass to eliminate a cold bridge (i know its a wood construction) but mainly i placed it to have a nice flat level surface to start on. This is the telescope part with the sliding roof, its 3,7 meters x 2,5 meters inside measurements This is the garden shed/warm control room, this part is 5,08 meters x 3,7 meters, the part were the 4 walls are placed together is the carport section, this is 6 meters x 3,7 meters. This outside part under the roof is where i'll hang the bikes Looking from the "control" room to the cold room, this wall has a door on the left big window where the desk will be, and under the desk a hatch to get to the crawl space because the floor in the cold room will be raised aprox 0,5 meter I will make a time lapse at the end. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why the RSJ along one side of the car port section? Hi, i assume by RSJ you mean the wall ? This wall is on the plot boundry, so i made it a closed wall.

Miguel1983 Posted April 17, 2019 Author Share Posted April 17, 2019 (edited) Progress of today : Roof covering started (EPDM rubber Resitrix by IRS ) This is something that i have outsourced And i made the roll-off roof... And placed it The sides will be finished tomorrow There is a 25mm gap, tomorrow brushes will be placed in front of that gap and a wood panel and then the roof cover My design worked out well, the action on the roof is feathertouch ! IMG_7274.MOV While i was busy with the the roll off roof, my son and brother in law placed the vapor barrier To be continued....

Gina Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 RSJ = Rolled Steel Joist. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wiu-Wiu Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 very nice work! How are you preventing your roll off roof from becoming a fly off roof? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will put some kind of clamping system on the inside, nothing concrete yet, i have to think about that but i don't expect to have a problem with that.

Thanks Gina, Having seen you latest batch of images, it makes sense now Miguel- Structural steel to take the roof weight without intermediate supports. Once your structure is clad, it could be 'Mini Me' of Kielder Observatory! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miguel1983 Posted April 18, 2019 Author Share Posted April 18, 2019 (edited) Day 4: Insulation placed in the walls by my wife and son I placed the brushes to make the sliding roof closed to wind This is the back side of the roll off roof, the wood panel acts as a stopper Wood panels are placed all around now, the roll off roof is ready for roof covering (Saturday) Note : the roof slides not as good as yesterday's video shows because of the brushes, still it's manageable with one hand. I'm now starting with the cladding and the electrician comes tomorrow Edited April 19, 2019 by Miguel1983 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
