Well despite the weather I have been building a shed, in between the showers that is. It is a simple build of a flat roofed 10 x 8 shed for one of my neighbours. She insisted I build it rather than her buy one even though it was much more expensive, who am I to argue with a woman. Anyway I started it Saturday morning and got this completed by the end of the day:  I started again this morning at 10am and in between the showers I managed to get this far:  It was getting dusk by then so time to call it a day. I had my pop up gazebo erected overnight and was praying it had remained standing in all the winds we had in the night. I needn't have worried as it was still as I left it the night before. Not bad for an Argos special and it kept the De Walt dry too. I am back at work tomorrow on the early shift so wont'get anything done until tomorrow afternoon weather permitting. |

In between the rain I managed to get some more done on the shed build. I got the roof on when the sun finally came out.  I also go the window frame made and the glass fitted too.  I am building the door in the shop at the moment and it should be ready to fit tomorrow afternoon. ;D |

Yes Mel, as you can tell I have been a bit busy what with this one and the wardrobe job. It is true mate I got the framework up and cladded over the weekend, once I get moving I don't like to hang around. ;D Actually Stu the studwork was all 4x2" and yes it does make a sturdy shed or workshop for that matter. Added to the fact that it does give plenty of space for insulation and wiring if need be.  Well I finally got the door made and fitted today and the build finished. I was over on five lengths of shiplap and my neighbour let me have them saying he had no use for them along with some offcuts which will come in handy in the future.  I fitted a hasp and staple after this pic was taken and after a good tidying up my neighboour was very happy with the result. I also have some decking to repair for her and a boiler to box in, but those jobs are for next year as I am far too busy at the moment. |

I think your right Stu, I must be a frustrated builder really. Got to admit I would like to build my own wooden house, bit late now though. ;D
