Has Stroller lost interest in the shed build?

Cushions are multi-colored and I hate stripey grass so get focked

Good progress:





Was a little uncertain around using pine over hardwood but dunno why really, it's pretty good wood and more expensive doesn't always mean better:





Just the one shelf. Easy enough to add more later if needed.

that's pretty damn impressive.

Thank you kind sir.

Just hope it doesn't get too windy or wet or sunny... It might collapse.

^^^That looks more like a dunny than a shed.

Good thread though.

I am planning on building a sauna in the garden.

Wooden sheds cost an arm and a leg compared with aluminium. But aluminium will not have the right ambience or bouquet so I might do a DIY job for the wood sauna shed.

Will you be keeping your garden gnome set on the shelf, Ant?

Bonus... Multi-purpose!

I suspect it's the opposite here? Aluminium sheds not being that common (or sheds period for that matter).

I did get one quote for an aluminium one and it was B37,000 excl. transport from BKK.

This whole thing -- plans nicked from the IntraGoogles -- including materials and some tools probably around 15,000.

Termites?

I would suggest stone and a thatched roof and then suitably aged for 300 years to aquire the correct cachet

Ants pine out house just screams fantasy world and leg humping fixation - and he needs to paint the sky to match his blue roofing

Hasn't been treated (will be varnished though) but we get termite spraying done so will have that done also.

You mean 350 years. No, 400! Just found another 50.

I was googling sheds the other day for my sauna.

That is about what you pay for an aluminium shed about that size in oz.

The wooden equivalent was about 4 times the price of aluminium.

It looks ok for temperate climates, albeit a tad on the small side?

I'm not seeing hammock attachment, beer fridge socket, aerial and not being hyper critical but the door is too small.

Yeah it's not huge by any stretch. Quite tall though, 7-and-a-bit-ft so I don't whack my noggin, 3.5 ft deep and about 5 ft at the base.

Basically just built it as something to keep my tools and assorted stuff in because I'm sick of the mess of them lying around and also built it more to size to fit the location than anything.

This is the design / style idea that I borrowed from the IntraGoogles:

You've also got a hotbox if the kids break the TV again.

Not a bad idea actually. And we just brought a new TV.

Hmmm maybe preemptive... How long you reckon they could stand it, four hours?

Haha just noticed that!

I bet the dirty goat-humper was on the one like a flash and checking it out.

And job jobbed:





Eagle-eyed viewers (and my fan club who will dissect every pixel) will doubtless immediately notice an issue(s)...

Yes the doors are crooked. And I can see cracks of daylight through the roofing. And it's not quite sitting flush.

But fuck it those are tomorrows problems and I'm chuffed with it as a first effort. Calling it a success.

Plus it does what it was designed to do:






More room than I'd initially envisaged which is no bad thing. Still not big enough to contain the seething rage it'll engender though but then what is??

Don't forget to put a padlock on it or your golf cubs will go walkies.

Good, they can fuck right off.

Stupid things kept hitting snap hooks the other day.
