570 JEN wants to know what are they ? Jen would not approve of my idea of 'Leisure Points', so I'll have to decline her request.

Bet you spend time in there modelling when it warms back up
It's due to the plain fact that Matron dreams of such an establishment where she can drag us all one by one to for a carefully thought out and coordinated torture / corrective therapy session..''In fact Matron was quite excited, why I have no idea !''

Never mind Matron, Chris. My wife has her own form of torture at the ready, should I fall foul......Flower arranging!.......where she can drag us all one by one to for a carefully thought out and coordinated torture session..
OH Gawrd Chris dont give her ideas lolIt's due to the plain fact that Matron dreams of such an establishment where she can drag us all one by one to for a carefully thought out and coordinated torture / corrective therapy session..
This post is for everything shed and everybody's sheds!I hope this thread is for general shed stuff. If not, can the mods move it elsewhere please.
I've not done much 'plastic' lately. Recently, the wife dropped hints she wanted a Potting shed!
So, to earn me some leisure points, I thought "I'll give her a 'Potting shed, and how!", and after looking at the horrendous price of kit ones, I set to with me tape, paper and pencil...
I had the idea of using second hand glazed pine doors. I found 9 locally for £20 in total and built the shed around these. The shed so far has cost us about £150 and is about 12ft x 8". The decking is 4ft out.
The veranda cum decking is re-cycled stuff from a previous, wind wrecked thingy.
As it is situated against a hedge, a view to the rear was not required, so I built the back out of new 3x2 studding and 8x4 boards.
The roof is corrugated tin. No desperate need for insulation or lights just yet. It's for potting in the daylight hours.
Here it is.

I made these plywood profile infills to stop the draft going on the Mem Sahib.

A photo from today. The opening door on the right is slightly different from the other three, but will do until I can acquire an exact match for the other three.

Cracking job that is,Thanks John. This morning I decided the shutters don't get used so can be permanently boarded over. This led to more shelf space creation and a stash shelf as well (well some of the stash).
Used the old shutters cut down and a fair bit of off cuts to finish off. Not the work of a master craftsman but ok for an afternoons work.
Not well organised ATM, looks like a bomb hit itCracking job that is,
A lovely,vast modelling area,and so organised too
Excellent stuff!
Excellent looking summerhouse / potting shed / doghouse / pub ( delete where applicable ) however the clerk of works has inspected the installation and unfortunately the green is not the correct shade for the Wrexham area so the work must be dismantled forthwithI hope this thread is for general shed stuff. If not, can the mods move it elsewhere please.
