Because I could build it better and cheaper in exactly the space I had available. Plus I can say to people "i built that".

Wow. You are very lucky to have not only a single man cave but two!

I have to sleep under the stairs to make up for it... My wife has mentioned me having to give up some of the cupboards in the gym though as the workshop has so much room.

Thank you. Keeping it out of the house is good to avoid hanging clothes on it all. As a family were all still using it multiple times a week. Yesterday I did the 1st gym introduction to a friend of my wifes. She's sacking off her membership and using our kit instead as it covers most of what she uses.

Hell of a build this! How did you do the roof detail, I noticed you had the big joists and the osb on top, then in some later photos it looks like you have battens on top of that - is that for air flow or something?

Thank you.

On top of the big joists are furring strips. These are basically a wedge to give the roof an angle so the water runs off.

I had a local timber merchants "make" them for me. If I needed 16 x 4m long I bought 8 lengths of timber and got them to cut them into two triangles.*




*there's probably the correct trade terms missing from the above statement

Yep. I'm a paid up user of Sim Hub. It's used by my wheel dash and bass shakers.
