Yes excellent progress Trevor! you doing all that by yourself?
Mike
Yes and no had some help laying the footings but as as they say sometimes too many cooks spoil the broth but I'll probably need a strong hand or two getting the roof done. Now a question if I use C channel for the rails do I face it inward or outward ???

I'd give you a hand if I was nearby ..and inward? ie more external protection for the castors and accessible from inside? .
Wall membrane and flashing around footings before the cladding goes on decided on mist green (match existing garden shed) for the walls but will have white roof. Have ordered the C channel for the roof rails.
You are making good progress, hopefully the clouds will be gone when you are finished.
Without meaning to be critical but hoping others may see this and save themselves some time, if you had of made the wall frames outer face flush with the outer face of the slab the mini orb you mentioned using ( or any wall cladding ) could extend below the top of the concrete slab by 30-50mm and you would not have to rely on the flashing fixed to the top of your slab keeping the water out.
One final observation, do you have the bottom plate fixed to the studs only with nails into the end-grain, if you do that will be the weak link.
Did think of that but the bottom rail is bolted to the footing and I set the threaded rod (attached to a plate) back from the edge so no chance of the bolts pulling out of the concrete. The studs are held not just with nails, 75mm screws, nails, hard as nails, also studs are set into the bottom rail via mortise. With the easterly winds we have where I am in summer I wanted to make certain it was solid as a rock.
Roof frame done now for the cladding, but I think I will do that when frame on runners, also where to buy trolley wheels just the wheels with precision bearing 8-1omm axle
While waiting on suppliers to open after xmas so I can move forward on roof , I've completed some flashing along edges, the door jamb/sill and floor. Floor has also been waterproofed.
Great to follow your progress...for the floor even 2 inch rubber foam is not a bad idea and you may say that is crazy now but after you have dropped a camera it seems like a great idea...I only have half inch rubber mat ...
you doing all that by yourself?
