Popular Post warb Posted March 15, 2022 Author Popular Post Share Posted March 15, 2022 Barrow Street Update Its been a while since my last posting regarding Barrow Street and one of the problems was that the layout was never able to be fully assembled in the existing spot. For the last year minus mishaps (that's another story) I bit the bullet and started to build a new shed to fit Barrow Street. Work is still ongoing and hopefully major works will be completed this year (see attached photos in no particular order) and I can get back trying to complete Barrow Street.

skinner75 Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 Nothing like a purpose built home for the layout! Construction looks great I built a block shed with my dad's help some years back, but it is dedicated to a workshop for my motorbikes. Maybe time to build another one... 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leslie10646 Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 (edited) Yes, that looks the ticket, all right. Probably cheaper than buying a house with a big enough loft - especially as modern ones have so many struts - Ouch!, that's anther time I've bashed my head motorising points on Portadown Junction - I'm black and blue!

Mayner Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 Interesting seeing Collrolled Steel Framing being used in Ireland, though I 'built' the Four Storey 150 Bed Hotel with the stuff in Dublin during the mid 90s and its still standing. Looks like an excellent layout room high standard of dimensional stability with insulated wall and roof panels. Rolled steel framing which is becoming popular in this part of the world because of its light weight and dimensional stability compared to timber framing. The only odd thing to my mind was the traditional block rising walls and ground bearing floor slab, the majority of lightweight buildings in this part of the world are built on an insulated raft slab on a compacted sand pad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warb Posted March 16, 2022 Author Share Posted March 16, 2022 Mayner The reason for the traditional block rising walls was the building is beside a river and on that side stepped reinforced foundations were needed with approx. 5FT rising wall required on that side. Ground bearing reinforced floor slab just to be on the safe side. warb 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgeconna Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 (edited) Way to go , Some of the 'Office' Rooms are nuts prices, Was Looking at a Steeltech option myself and get rid of the Portacabin which is too damp. Your shed kitted out with insulation etc will be nice and toasty!! About 10K for a 20x10 Steeltech yoke and like you would have to do the base. With re bar no fear with Nuke strikes!! Oh a lovely Stream next to it too, Wow, only Perfect! Edited March 16, 2022 by Georgeconna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rush and Lusk Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 Hi warb, I was so captivated by this posting that I went right back to the very beginning of the thread and read every page - what can I say, except to echo all the accumulated compliments and comments of so many others.
