Nice build here but I do have one reservation, won't it take up most of the display space on your club table at SMW....

Ahh, sh##e, I hadn't thought of that! 😂

I also haven't touched it for ages but I'm off this weekend so fingers crossed for the weather

Hi all, 

 

A bit of progress this weekend... 

 

I've got the floor down where I was previously missing some

I've also got the doors installed and getting on with the cladding too

Now it's time for a nice roast dinner before heading back to work tomorrow. 

 

Enjoy everyone

You're a brave man, putting up all that glass at this stage of the project - if it were me, I'd have had a length of 4x2 through at least one pane by now!

Haha. No glass yet, I'd break it too. Glazing is probably the last thing I'm going to do

Unfortunately, my car broke down on Tuesday and I'm taking a couple of days off work. Fortunately that means that I can get on with the build which has worked out nicely. 

 

One end completed...

And starting on the next part...

It's quite a size but luckily it doesn't stick out too much from the house...

More later or tomorrow

More progress, the sunshine has certainly helped. 

The roof is on, all walls except 1 have been clad and I've put some (but not all) the felt on the roof

So I started to move some bits inside...

And make sure there was space for the essentials...

Now I have the unenviable job of clearing away all the cr@p and getting the shed filled again before back to work on Monday

Well, the weather has not been too favourable this weekend but I've managed to get the cladding on the last side

And the rest of the glass in

So not completely watertight but a reasonable amount complete due to the rain! 

 

Not much to do before I can start fitting it out inside

Nice posh doors  and window! Those tools hanging on the wall are quite beefy for modelling. The filler spatula too. Hope you have enough filler to use it with. !

But it is looking grand for a scratch build. I would ha e built my own but I didn't have the materials,skill and energy to. But I did use all the interior salvaged from my previous smaller  shed to insulate and line my new bigger shed.
