Its been a while, so I thought I ought to dust off this thread and do a little updating.
Over the last few days I decided some serious Barn Pimping was in order. I had no room in there due to rubbish and scrap, Dans car being in the middle of the floor, and myself generally not putting things away because ive had no motivation recently because of money troubles.
So firstly the barn pimpage was going to have to cost the grand sum of nothing, using only stuff we had lying around.
Firstly we had to plug the massive hole that was above the gates which was currently plugged by a big piece of Tarp! We had just enough clear corregated shizzle to do the job, so we completed the job a few weeks back.

So, to this weekends pimpage.
Firstly I had to clear the place up because it was utterly shockingly untidy lol. Dan arrived on Friday afternoon to clear his side of it up, bless him. He got his shell onto 4 wheels, and we shunted it into the corner with most of his stuff inside it. The amount of space this created was amazing!
Meanwhile I had filled 6 black bags of rubbish up! I then took it to the dump before coming back and loading the volvo up with my two holey engine blocks and a load of tailgates and bonnets no one wanted, and took em to the scrappers (bar chris who texted me THAT evening after an old block he could use for experimenting with new engine mounts. The law of the sod at its best!)
So I had a tidy barn, next thing to do was to plug some gaps. My gates sit proud of the main structure as we originally just bolted the new wodden doors to the old metal ones. This left a massive draughty gap..

Some old rubber car mats, a knife and a stapler later...

I need some draught excluders for the bottom of the gates and it should stay reasonably bearable during the winter!
Next up was Electrics. Since ive been using the barn, I only had an extension lead running from the next partition lol. So I ran a new cable from the consumer unit into a JB, and wired up some new socketry. I also added a board to hang some tools on

Whilst rooting around in the back of the Transit I found a brand new NUVO amplifier, (which is the size of a single gang socket) and some speakers. Had to put that lot up as well.

Whilst raiding the transit i found some standard light pendants and a load of flex, so i wired up 4 lights on 2 seperate circuits. Added some low energy 15w bulbs (surprisingly bright).

I then built a new bench out of 2x2 (we have shed loads of the stuff and some board I found on the neighbours scrap pile (result).
Added a strip light above it to give plenty of illumination, and bolted down my Vice which I found in a skip last year.

Really pleased how it turned out, it feels like a proper workspace now!
I even found time to have a mince with the Nova. I thought Id better do something about Dars favorite part of my car lol
