My project for the year....

[JustOne]

I have 2 sheds in my back garden that are passed their sell by date and I have been looking at the prices of new ones. I hadn't even considered building my own till I saw your efforts James. Food for thought.

A decent 11x8 shed (made with ship-lap instead of naff feather board) retails about £800, the space I'm using is basically 3 of those so it would have come in around £2,400 to buy 3 separate sheds, and even those are not very tall (you practically have to stoop to get in the door). I'm hoping to come in about £1500, less than the price of 2.

what happened to original plans?

That's just an older pic that shows the new base but with the old sheds still in place.

I just spent 3hrs taking apart the final (metal) shed and lobbing it.

As of 2 minutes ago it all looks like this..... plenty still to do, crappy house/garden but that's all I have to work with

I think you are wasting your time trying to teach S&T, your true calling is Sheds

very Impressed by the way, what are you putting it?

Cheers :thup: Don't know what's going in there, tools and maybe a 'sun room' for the Winter ...somewhere dry to sit when it's raining. Would love to get a sneaky pool table in there, dart board is a must Will probably just be full of junk

Not a S&T lab then?

Looking FAB :clap: this is exactly what I need- we looked at sheds for ages and they are all overpriced bits of balsa wood that will fall down as soon as you lean against them

Hope you will keep it traditional inside: Old arm chair, steam radio and a stack of old 'Nuts' magazines!

This looks really good. I hope when your done you'll add some lighting to finish it all off.

I had planned on converting my garage this year to a proper outdoor man cave with bar and pool table, (better than a brick shed full of junk which is what it is currently) but I don't think I can fund it unless I do the work my self. And I can't do the work my self

Fitting some 'essentials'........ Kids love it.

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Now you're talking. Can't see any sign of the bar taking shape yet

Looking good James...this is my project at the moment.......Turning a 1/3 of my garage into a man cave.....

 

[rickg]

Just need to finish off the laminate in the morning, then skirting boards & door architrave....ready for the "goodies" to be moved in!!

 

[Region3]

Looking good guys :thup:

This was mine just after it was finished, and before my kids turned it into a store room for their junk! :angry:

Just wish I'd had the foresight to make the ceiling high enough to swing a golf club in.

Looking at your interests in your profile I'm guessing you'll like the upstairs of my 'cave' above the golf sim, will show you it when I see you. Doesn't totally qualify as I didn't build it, just stuck stuff in it. Still to be decorated, beer fridge is in the cupboard left of the wine rack I got them to build into the wall ......



p.s. Won't be giving you a game though - I'm utterly rubbish
