Sheds

[Ancientmariner]

Sealed floor today, not the best job and not that happy with it but at the end of the day it's a shed I guess. It will do.

Fitted trestles today ready to put work top on. Attempted it today but it turns out a 3.5m Oak work top weighs a bit more than I can easily lift on my own. Have it on tomorrow when I have assistance hopefully.

Have decided far end will be modelling area with cupboard for power tools and accessories below bench. Middle section below bench will be 40 inch box and last on closest to door will be dehumidifier and compressor.

Thanks Andrew,

It's taken 5 years to get and I am desperate to finish it so I can use it, I lack patience unfortunately!

Hopefully next installment will be a completed shed!

So a fair bit of progress. Literally just tools to move in now.
Oh and also dig up patio, remove floor boards and ren new cable as the MICC that was there is no good what so ever. Going the whole hog and changing the 40A breaker for a 50A one and running appropriate armour core under the garden for this purpose.
Extension cable is having to do atm so limited on consumers.

Photos I couldn't attach before.

Me too. Such a great space!

 

[Ancientmariner]

Thanks, annoying there's no mains yet though as trying to spray today light just isn't up to it currently

 

[Bobby Conkers]

Soooooooooooo jealous

Me too. I'd have a scan to allow entry. Anyone trying to get in without showing the Airfix logo gets zapped.

Have I spotted, a beer fridge ?

Hi James
All the work has paid off. That's a great den. A fine space for modelling and relaxing and the Lancaster might just fit

[Ancientmariner]

Couldn't possibly comment. 20 quid off eBay I couldnt resist my own beer fridge!
Don't think the Mrs was too happy as it's nicer than our fridge in the kitchen

It has its own spot on top of the model stash shelf reserved already!

James congratulations, nice job. Can't beat having a nice cave can you.

James congratulations, nice job. Can't beat having a nice cave can you.

Thanks John, still need proper mains power. Start on that next week when the 10mm armour core arrives

Looking back through your pictures is making me think I should plan mine to be wider. I was going to stick with the existing 8 foot width, just extending the length to 14' to give me more storage space at one end (lugging our camping gear up into the loft is a real pain!)

Decisions decisions

As big as you can make it! I went for my full base and am glad I did, you'll.only regret it otherwise.
Space soon disappears once things start going in.

Ideally, but I have to think about budget lol.

My first plan of a 16x10 building split into a workshop and store area came in at £2.5k just for the basic materials - stud work, OSB, insulation, EPDM roof & cladding I'm trying to pare it down and be a little less bombproof, but smaller is definitely cheaper

 

[Tim Marlow]

Andy, does the storage area need all the insulation, OSB etc?
If not, have you thought about building two sheds. One for modelling built at top spec, and one as a lean to off of it for storage only. Decent quality, but without all the bells and whistles..could bring your budget under control.....

 

[Ancientmariner]

Are you building yourself from scratch or having a prefab and adding to it?
