Shed Build Part 3

I spent monday and today building the shed with dad, we have put up five perlins and also put the cross beams that support the plastic sheeting. Today we put two of the plastic sheets in place, which means using a lot of the specially branded fixing screws which are really expensive, so now i'm off to search for some cheaper screws on the internet. So here are some pictures of the shed so far. Also got very wet doing this as it rained all day, but overall i'm quite happy with the work as we have put up about half of the perlins.

Parts for MG

Just purchased the sills for both sides of the MG and thought I would update as to what I have spent so far on the panels for the car:
Sills- (Both sides) - £240
offside rear wing(full)- £52
nearside rear wing(half) -£36
both doors - £125

So in total I have spent about £500, just on panels, and have not even bought all of them. Probably going to have to get a job.

More shed build

Cemented the fence posts in that hold up the other side of the shed. We had a bit of a problem though because we put the post about 15cm in the wrong place, so we had to adjust where other things go slightly. Once the fence posts were in we put the cross beam on that will support the rafters that will hold the corrugated plastic roof. Finally we put the two end rafters in to see the size of the shed. Its huge! Dimensions are roughly 5m by 2.6m.
