Bettridge School – Externals Complete

With the insulation and OSB delivered, the roof and floor of the cabin have now been finished and the wood treated against the weather.

Bettridge School Cabin – Day 2

Once again we were fortunate with fine weather. Main tasks for the day were to get the roof boards on, door and window furniture fixed and hope the insulation for floor & roof would arrive (but unfortunately delayed).

Roof boards down and temporary waterproof membrane until insulation and felt can be fitted

We will complete the roof and flooring at a mutually agreeable time, once the insulation and OSB sheeting is available from the supplier.

Bettridge School Cabin – Day 1

Bettridge School asked Men in Sheds whether they would be willing to construct a cabin for them and we agreed. The cabin will be used as a Food Bank and second hand school uniform shop. The build was scheduled for the half term break which worked well to minimise disruption for the school and enable us ready access to the site and storage facilities for equipment.

First day of the Bettridge School cabin build by a team from the Cheltenham Unit 2 Shed. We were fortunate to have fine sunny weather.

With the base down the walls went up reasonably quickly

Walls completed, windows in and doors being fitted

Fine weather allowed us to leave the roof uncovered and ready for Day 2
