Now that is a propper neat job and fantastic shed. Deffo a bit of OCD going on there.
Looking forward to seeing the finished job.
Wel jel, would love a nice big shed/workshop/bar like that but don't have the room.

Work is for people that can't play golf.

Slow progress as I'm doing it all myself so updates may be few and far between . Plan of attack is to have it completed by the end of the year .

Years ago, my dad built up one of those steel sheds for me, on my patio. We then had to move it onto the new concrete base.
4 of us inside, mum outside giving directions.
She said it was the funniest thing she’d ever seen

If it ain't fun, don't do it

Re: Double busy
I love sheds! I still get shed envy when I see someone else building one
You're very wise to do it yourself. When I bought John's workshop I paid to have the company that supplied it to build it and all we had to do was lay the base.
I made a grave mistake and left John and his bestie to get that done while I took my Mum up to London for a night away.
Came home and the whole building was two feet too far to the left, meaning I no longer had room for my compost heaps and the path round to my bee shed, where I used to process honey.
I was so angry! And it took me weeks to reclaim enough land to be able to get my work space back. Not helped by the constant happy noises and music coming from the workshop every day.
Somebody had to get his own drinks and snacks for some time after that...
