Growing on tank room

MarkD · 23-01-2012, 07:43 PM

Hi
I have been wanting to build my growing on tank for a while now.Which will involve a big revamp of the pump/shed/offfice room. This has not been possible due to spending time (and money) on a major rebuild of our lounge/dining room.

But in a just over a weeks time we have window fitters here for three days. Unfortunately this means I cannot do any work inside whilst this is happening.

Wonder what I could do whilst over seeing their work????

Hi Mark,

I would think a good place for you to be is out of their way so they can work much more productuvly......so how about spending some time in the shed

Hi Gazza

I think this might be a good plan.

Quarantine or filter house sounds so much more posherer than shed

It certainly does, you may remember the building when you helped last year. The last owners called it the cottage, I am not that posh or pretentious. Its a static caravan converted into a nice looking ''shed''

Hiya Mark

Hope all is going well for you.

Shed, Koi Cottage more like

What are your thoughts on the QT build? Ply with angle iron to hold it together and then glassed?

Looks like you have a good piece of land there Mark

That 'old caravan/challet' would fill my garden, lol

Hi Dave
All is good, have few days off from house diy.Waiting for windows and doors now, might be able to find a few hours on Saturday to start the tank build. It will take an absolute age to clear out all stuff from the '' koi cottage'' (suddenly I feel all pretentious and like the name). Need to change the layout inside around and mission impossible will be reduce my the shed bit by half.

Miles, no my garden is not huge by any stretch of the imagination. The owner before whilst rebuilding our house lived in the caravan. It was going to cost him a £1000 to crane it out to get rid of it, so he spent a the same amount on converting it to its present state. Little did I know it would make such a good place for the pond filteration etc to be housed.

Well it's ceratinly worked out as a good choice for you to have it there

How much space do you think you will have available?

Is the floor going to be able to take the weight or are you going to do a bit of cutting and excavation? - You know you want to
