Let there be light, and there was light...

June 2024 and I finally managed to get some lights installed and operational. The fitting of choice was the Pierlite 27 watt Eco LED Panel installed into the Robus metal housing.



The white Robus housings will be painted black to match the ceiling, thus 'hiding' the frames when the lights are turned on.



The lights are operational, now work can continue any time!

Stud wall completed.

In early February we finished the stud wall that was required to line the angled wall as it was difficult to run the top hat with just the portal frames and then against the door frame. So that flimsy Rondo stud framing was installed and the Villaboard and Termiflor does end up giving it some rigidness.


The wall was sealed as per the rest of the walls and joins.


For some reason, I don' t have a photo of the wall partially built, but you can see the stud framing on the far left of this image.


Adding some climate comfort.

Two Mitsubishi Heavy Industries cooling only split systems were purchased to install on the eastern wall of the train shed. Two Unistrut based brackets were fabricated and mounted to the eastern outside wall to support the compressor.



The Unistrut frames on the east wall.


The internal was primed and painted prior to the condenser units being fitted.


Sunshade / drip and rain roofs were also installed to protect the outdoor compressor units.


The indoor units fitted off and operational.


The outdoor units with the sunshade / rain roof lowered to the correct position.
