Sheds

[Bugatti Fan]

It's a workspace most can only dream of. Very impressive.
All you need now is the book ' Fifty Sheds Of Grey' ! Lol.

James, you are putting my humble abode to shame :smiling2:
Very impressive,

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.








Here's a closer look at one end of the shed.


Veranda from re-cycled stuff from a previous, destroyed sitting area.



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



Painted.....


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.


There you go....One happy wife.

Cheers.

That is excellent Ron. Certainly shows the skills gained from all those years of "wood butchery". I'm sure Mrs Ron feels repaid for all the aeroplane chucking she has done over the years.

[Andy the Sheep]

Definitely a first class work, Ron.

Nicely done Ron, I hope SWMBO is pleased. I hope you're going to plug those lock holes in the doors though!

Thanks fellas.

Jim, yes, indeed and hopefully this shed makes us even...Although I very much doubt it.

Andy. Glad you like the creation.

Pete, if you take a look at the pictures with the veranda added, you can see the lock holes have been covered. The same as the front elevation ones....:tongue-out3:

Chris. Jen would not approve of my idea of 'Leisure Points', so I'll have to decline her request.

Your good buddy,

Unless I’m going mad (highly likely I know) they are plugged in the later pictures Pete……..

Nice job, by the way, Ron. More summerhouse than potting shed is that. Bet you spend time in there modelling when it warms back up :tongue-out3:

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.

It started life as a potting shed and kind'a just grew!
Fat chance now of dual occupation, Tim. Luckily we have a summerhouse t'uther end of the garden I can use.....or what's left of it!

Chris. This is a family forum, so I can't type what my idea of leisure points are. I'll leave it to her imagination.......:flushed:

Cheers.

Ivor Nammeransor aka 570

Well congratulation you old ******* friend , some fine work , love the whole idea, I'd take that incorrect style door back and ask for a refund.

Workman ship as expected with a fine selection of the finest wood butchery you could come across. Esp impressed with the scribed roof line soffit board.

Nice size, as Tim has said just right for summers day modelling.

The Committee of course were suitably impressed, in fact Matron was quite excited, why I have no idea !

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..

[spanner570]

Thanks to Arthur and Chris.

Arthur. Thank you for the 'Dog's' award. The mug will take pride of place in 'The Shed' - If I ever get invited into the thing.

.......where she can drag us all one by one to for a carefully thought out and coordinated torture session..

Never mind Matron, Chris. My wife has her own form of torture at the ready, should I fall foul......Flower arranging!

Cheers chaps.
