Completed the roof joists and noggins. The joists were quite heavy and awkward to position onto the wall plate by myself , (4 x 2 Treated timber bolted into the concrete blocks), Not disappointed to see the end of this phase.
You too can build your own home gym at the bottom of your garden. I was fed-up with exercising in my old, freezing, damp, insect infested garage. So i bit the bullet and decided to get rid of it and have a home gym built in it’s place.
I’m a complete novice in the building game. My achievements or skills before taking on this task – out of sheer desperation – was that i had done the odd bit of DIY in the past, like putting up a shelf, or hanging a picture. All the skills i picked up throughout this journey were mainly thanks to being let down by builders, a little belief, a touch of determination and a shed load of desperation, but most of all, from watching YouTube clips like this journey which I’ve catalogued.
Sure i made many mistakes along the way, the build isn’t perfect and yeah, if i had my time again there’s many things i’d do differently along the way, but my mantra in life which helps me through anything i wish to achieve is to always say to yourself when, not if and you’ll find that you can achieve things way beyond yours, or anyone else’s expectations. 🙂
