Looking good, in process of building my own brick shed, think i may start a thread also.
Have dug footings/base shuttered in and layed 4 1/2 tonne all in one day. Had 2 mixers on the go.
My back is paying for it now though. Looking to use block on back and face brick front.
Also as in corner may hire brick cutter as want front of shed to 'cut' the corner and don't fancy forking ot for specials.
Keep up the good work......:Clap:

From 2pm today it has been pouring then around 5-6pm its calmed down but still drizzle.
Nice to hear your also getting a brick shed done. Whats your dimensions gonna be like?
weather doesnt look good down there,its typical when you start building work.
make sure they put piers on a single wall construction!,especially near door & window openings.
i cant see clear from the pics,but it looks like light weight block they are using.it would have been better to use dense concrete blocks for exterior work.
keep us posted

Yup your right m8, they are light weight blocks.
Just a quick question what are piers? I think we might have some at the rear wall but just checking to see if its the same thing and so I could preciesly tell the builders if needed.
Also what type of interior lights need to be inside?
Can I use spot lights?
They originally said tube lighting but we was thinking of going for the trendy spot lights.
yes m8 piers,they are put in a single block construction for added strength.
your rear wall has a couple if i remember in your pics,but you want them in the new walls placed around every 3m or so.on your build i would place them half way on every side .

With regard to lighting, they probably suggested flourescent lights as they would be cheaper and quicker to install.
Spotlights will look neater but they'll charge you a bit more m8

I spoke to the brick layer, as the boss aint about until around 5pm. He said it wasn't needed as the roofing would be attached to the wall so it will pressue it and hold it all together.
However ill speak to the main guy for assurance when he comes.
Spot lights hes including for the same price
thats no shed its a boys room, lcd screen, porn, beer, fridge need i say anymore
wheres the damp course m8, ?????"can't see any"
single skin-------"it will be cold in the winter "

Its looking good to me. Are the lintels above the door and window, wooden or concrete just out of interest?
