Kiddo Workshop Upgrade<\/h1>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text responsive_text=”true” color=”#004c7f” text_align=”left”]\n

I have a typical garage workshop COLD! DAMP! UNEVEN PITTED FLOOR! If it was zero degrees outside then it would be 2 degrees inside. Nothing rolls easily across the floor, I have a damp issue on one external wall which assists with keeping the garage cold. So although we have now hit spring and weather is improving, last month I decided to do something about it in preparation for next winter.<\/h4>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text responsive_text=”true” color=”#004c7f” text_align=”left”]\n

First job was to fix the damp wall issue, for this the guttering needed repairing and I needed to make a soak away to keep that water away from the wall.<\/h4>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”1853″ alignment=”center” css=”.vc_custom_1641038074969{margin-top: 10px !important;}”][vc_column_text responsive_text=”true” color=”#004c7f” text_align=”left”]\n

Second job was to extend the workshop by half a metre with a timber frame extension and a set of double glazed French doors. Clad the outside in UPVC, insulate with rockwool and panel the inside with OSB.<\/h4>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”1855″ alignment=”center” css=”.vc_custom_1641038144107{margin-top: 10px !important;}”][vc_single_image image=”1854″ alignment=”center” css=”.vc_custom_1641038160044{margin-top: 10px !important;}”][vc_single_image image=”1856″ alignment=”center” css=”.vc_custom_1641038177355{margin-top: 10px !important;}”][vc_single_image image=”1857″ alignment=”center” css=”.vc_custom_1641038190763{margin-top: 10px !important;}”][vc_column_text responsive_text=”true” color=”#004c7f” text_align=”left”]\n

Third job was a bit of a challenge, the aim was to screed and level floor then lay heavy duty plastic floor tiles over the top. The challenge was completing this task with out emptying the workshop.<\/h4>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text responsive_text=”true” color=”#004c7f” text_align=”left”]\n

Challenge accepted \u2026\u2026..<\/h4>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text responsive_text=”true” color=”#004c7f” text_align=”left”]\n

\u2026\u2026.. I started by purchasing a diamond wheel cutter and an enclosure for my grinder, I attached the hoover to catch the dust and took the surface layer of grime and oil off of the old concrete floor. I was really surprised at just how well the enclosure captured the dust. I then painted the floor with a water based acrylic primer to help the self levelling compound adhere.<\/h4>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”1858″ alignment=”center” css=”.vc_custom_1641038317309{margin-top: 10px !important;}”][vc_single_image image=”1861″ alignment=”center” css=”.vc_custom_1641038470043{margin-top: 10px !important;}”][vc_single_image image=”1859″ alignment=”center” css=”.vc_custom_1641038401872{margin-top: 10px !important;}”][vc_single_image image=”1860″ alignment=”center” css=”.vc_custom_1641038426885{margin-top: 10px !important;}”][vc_single_image image=”1862″ alignment=”center” css=”.vc_custom_1641038529404{margin-top: 10px !important;}”][vc_single_image image=”1863″ alignment=”center” css=”.vc_custom_1641038548465{margin-top: 10px !important;}”][vc_single_image image=”1864″ alignment=”center” css=”.vc_custom_1641038565591{margin-top: 10px !important;}”][vc_column_text responsive_text=”true” color=”#004c7f” text_align=”left”]\n

Fourth job was to install the new Diesel heater, this heater takes my garage from 2 degrees to 19 degrees in 55 minutes. I made a bracket to securely mount it and I am very pleased with the result.<\/h4>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”1865″ alignment=”center” css=”.vc_custom_1641038658279{margin-top: 10px !important;}”][vc_single_image image=”1866″ alignment=”center” css=”.vc_custom_1641038675042{margin-top: 10px !important;}”][vc_single_image image=”1867″ alignment=”center” css=”.vc_custom_1641038688257{margin-top: 10px !important;}”][vc_column_text responsive_text=”true” color=”#004c7f” text_align=”left”]\n

So as I said earlier I was really pleased with the dust shroud for my grinder purchased off of Amazon:<\/h4>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text responsive_text=”true” color=”#004c7f” text_align=”left”]\n

I was also pleased with the 4 inch Concrete Turbo Diamond Grinding Cup Wheel that I also purchased on Amazon:<\/h4>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text responsive_text=”true” color=”#004c7f” text_align=”left”]\n

At \u00a335.00 for both parts this was far cheaper than hiring a large concrete floor grinder which was about \u00a3200 for a week.<\/h4>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text responsive_text=”true” color=”#004c7f” text_align=”left”]\n

Here is the link to the Diesel heater I purchased, I looked at many similar models before purchasing this one from Amazon:<\/h4>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text responsive_text=”true” color=”#004c7f” text_align=”left”]\n
