Hi,

Hope all's well. It was quite a nice day up at Vegas, however it's now fast becoming a distant memory!  How are you getting on with your prep work? I did have a look to see if you had started a thread but didn't see anything posted.  There was something else I wanted to ask about your setup in your shed rather than post on the planning thread.  I was wondering whether you insulated the floor of your shed and if you did, how you approached it?   

If I did go for it the plan would be to use a breathable membrane on the existing floor, covered by a frame of 75mm high joists with 50mm celotex board in between the joists. Next would be to use aluminium tape to close all gaps between the joist and the boards and then cover with 18mm ply for rigidity.  It would mean a bit of extra work and expense but I'm am leaning towards doing this to maximise comfort in the dark months.  I would be interested to hear whether you'd think this is worth doing.

Cheers & happy modelling,

Bryant

Hi There,

  Thanks for your kind offer, I'm now kicking myself for not checking my PM's before setting off today!   We just got back and have a shed on order for November, a bit longer lead time than I hoped but clearing the exisiting layout in the garage will give me chance to stockpile materials to insulate and skin.  Andrew was really helpful and we sealed a deal in 20 minutes, he even mentioned your plan which sounds impressive.    Looking forward to your reveal in the design and planning forum :-)

Cheers 

Bryant

Time to start modelling ;-)
