General Car Chat / Re: Any motorhome owners on here.
« on: 22 May 2019, 15:55:49 »we have a Landrover camper, ex ambulance converted to camper,
it means we can get off the beaten track,
3 weeks last year up to the artic circle we spent 4 nights on campsites, the rest of the time, we stayed in woodland clearings and out of the way places.
That sounds awesome!
It sounds uncomfortable
not really, we did 5500 miles in it on that trip, 9000 total last year, we camped out in it new years eve for the last 3 years, went to a wedding last sat, parked the camper at the reception, crawled into it late evening,
oh we have a bog onboard.
I really dislike other people on campsites, the petty rules etc,

thats a LOT of porn

General Discussion Area / Re: Anyone built a timber garage before?
« on: 16 April 2019, 14:09:14 »Finally, the day for leaving the burger van has arrived (Thursday
We've got pretty big plans for the house itself, which will involve converting the attached garages, meaning I need a place for tools and toys
Given that we will be stretched financially on the project, the idea of shelling out £17-25k (online estimates) for a brick/block garage isn't that appealing so I am thinking of building a timber one. My initial idea is to build something around 25sqm which, if correctly positioned and of a low enough height won't require building regs or planning permission. Instinctively I think there should be at least a £10k saving to be made.
I'll get some professionals to drop a concrete base and use pre-made roof trusses. For the walls I am thinking of making wall panels up using 4 x 2" with an OSB inner skin, rockwool insulation, vapour barrier and shiplap on the outside. I was wondering if anyone else had gone down this or similar route and had any experiences or pics to share?
Alternatively, as always, feel free to mock the idea
Im fairly certain that as your building it out of wood, you don't need planning permission, as its classed as a temporary structure. Double check this tho, and if correct, build it as big as you like
a temporary building means it not there over 28 days,
you can build to 30m2 floor area if away from boundary and be exempt B Regs
