Looks superb, surprising how much its moved on now you got some motivation back.
Are you going to put a path to it or a little patio/decking around it?

Cheers guys.
Think i may use it as Summerhouse come gym and get a wooden shed for the side of my house.
With regards the outside i have about 10 tonne of earth to move as my garden is on slope, there will be a patio area outside my dining room with steps upto the upper level/gym.
I will then have a eliptical lawn with the chav water feature, there will also be a sitting area at the back of the garden.
This will look out over nice views and over the Pergola walk at lower level side of the house.
Got a lot of work ahead of me but getting into it now.
Fitted all GRP profiles and mitred corners as advised, also bought a catalyst measurer for £3.
Ordered plaster ceiling boards and low energy spots (9w each - will fit 7).
Will be removing all this and more.....
Steps will lead upto french doors onto top level/lawn/seating area and below will be patio.

Depends if its vac/vac treated or it may be tanalised chipboard in which case it would be ok but if it is untreated then yeh your right Kalipo, it will get hammered.

rains on the way m8, {more than likely wedensday}.........if the osb wasn't treated you will have to give the boards a coat of resin untill we get drier weather
15 to 20ml of catalyst per kilo of resin is enough for this hot weather..."you dont want the resin going off too quick, considering this is the 1st time youve done this type of job

yes its finer matting
do the job in strips m8, dont try to do the roof in 1 go
brush or roll on the resin/lay your 1st piece of 450g mat and enbed the matting into the resin with a stiff brush, use more resin on the brush where needed.....do this on each section till all the roofs covered
add the topcoat when the bottom coat has dried
brush or roll on the grey topcoat/lay your 1st piece of finer matting and enbed into the topcoat, add more topcoat where needed
did you get this project finished m8, hows it looking

Yep, roof all done and all inside roughed/plastered. Still finishing off the power/spots/alarm.
Was surprised how easy the roof was, had to be quick though. The only problem is that it holds water as i did not put enough slope on it, still water proof though.
Will get some pics up shortly, been digging for foundation for new back wall.

Job well done m8.
I'd get the roof sorted as soon as poss' before the winter sets in.
We don't have the weather for flat roofs in this country, a good few feet of snow will put a hella lotta weight on the structure.
