The whole thing was supposed to be brick but i need the bricks for a wall elsewhere now, The blocks go down much faster for me, The blocks will get painted with water proof slurry at the lower part and then the plan is to use 2" x 2" timber battens on the whole garage and 2" kingspan, The finish will be cladding to match my other buildings outside, My hope is it will help keep the building warm.

i wouldnt have done it that way id have built 2 walls instead as keeps damp out a little better than what you have now
even with the other wall so close to it its better to build the 2 walls as the cavity allows for any water that does get through to evaporate and has some where to go
the soil wall was fine
nice job so far though

I've got one just the engine sitting for 3 1/2 months drained the battery it's only a Ford Fiesta battery that's 9yrs old and wasn't to clever when put on the boat that's why the car got a new one but its fine for the boat since if the battery dies the worst that would happen is I have to pull start the outboard which is a pain because of the size but it works for nowShould get a float charger.
I know where the door is.

The ground is higher on one side so i have put tanking slurry on before i built the small wall, If the garage would have been cavity i would have carried on in cavity but its just a sold build all round, The only damp i have had a problem with is right at the back corner but i plan to dig all the dirt out next to it and use tanking slurry and see if that stops it.

I've accidentally got a jet ski trailer..
I was hoping to make, or rather improve an existing trailer.. so I've picked this up thinking it would be good for parts based on some poor photographs. Looking at it in daylight I'm not sure if any of it is reuseable. It's rated at 200kg gross. Might just put a hitch on the ride on mower and use it for shifting stuff round the garden. Still, on the bright side, it cost me a tenner and came with a 2m x 1m sheet of 4mm ally..

I take it you're a part of the rnliTry it wearing a dry suit with waves breaking over the roof of the launch tractor cab as it backs you inor even better, do a capsize drill and pull it over 50 times with the plugs out

I did think about going that way, but its quite a narrow track on it. Not sure I'd trust it, even with my wrecks..
