The loft is 2.4m so think I'm safe. I'm using foil backed PIR insulation and on top of that will be 18mm ply, so should be plenty stiffness.

Well you learn something new every day as they say, look forward to seeing the progress updates

Welcome back and good luck Mark, good to see that you have decided to give it a crack mate The base is looking good, I look forward to seeing how things progress for you. All the best.

Coming along. The base has been insulated and the stud walls have all been built and lined with 9mm OSB.

Coming on nicely Mark. What is the building behind you?

Yes, coming along. Get the roof sorted next.

It’s a water pumping station that’s still in operation. Quite an old building by the looks of it.

Great job there, Mark.
The floor and walls are very well done, and as you say, the roof is the next bit. Some will disagree with me, but I think the roof is more important than nearly anything else.
A roof that keeps the rain out, just, makes the rest of a quality build a waste of time.
I work the other way down. Good roof, good loft.
Here's a couple of pics of my little shed in Australia.
