The Brew house : Part 1

A few weeks ago my dear wife said "You need a shed.", Now I thought humm good idea, I could store my brewing kit in there and wines and beers that where ready in bottles, that will save me having to go to the garage to get a beer or a bottle of wine.

Well the plans have got a little bigger and we are doing a complete overhaul of the back garden. This now includes not just a shed but a log cabin 12ft x 8ft in 28mm wood.

So I'm now having not just a storage shed but a brew house. Yay Me!!!

First job was a tidy up, fence the whole back garden to give us an area to work with and sort out the layout of this major project.

What a mess!! And the rain is making it even harder work, mud everywhere.

Our next door neighbors also decided to get their back fence done at the same time and between us we have gone 50/50 on the cost to do the adjoining boundary fence as well, but smaller panels so we can still chat.



Now that the fences are all done, and looking very good. The chickens have been relocated by the house. The whole front of the garden by the back door has now been graveled over, so Jane can now tend the chickens without getting to wet or muddy. Also makes it handy feeding them fresh scraps right out the window.

Under the blue tarp, because the dam rain will still not let up, is the 12 x 8 ft concrete base which was laid yesterday and it's nearly 6 inches thick to give a good base for the Brew house.

Looks a little better than it did, it's all coming together slowly. I've got loads of leveling still to do out there, but when the concrete is dry at least the brew house can be built.
