A View from a Shed

The walls are now complete and the roof boards are fully on.  I realised I forgot to say, for those interested, the pitch of the roof was dictated purely by where the 8x4' boards met.  Nothing more scientific than than.  I did have to shop around a bit for a piece of timber long enough to stretch along the apex (5.4 meters, and, yes, I'm working in both metric and imperial at the same time).

I've cut the hedge down, despite the shed being far from ready, just to enjoy the view from the windows.  I'm debating getting double glazing in, but I don't think I have the budget.

This will be the view from my painting bench.

While this will be the view from my building and basing bench.  Ten points if you can spot the sniper!  I'm told he was just hunting 'wabbits'.

Perhaps most excitingly, the polystyrene insulation has begun to go in!  I've got high hopes that it won't be freezing in the new place.  I've attached a couple of photos here showing it cut to shape and the first of the boards going on.  Exciting times!

Do the double glazing! You will not regret it in winter.

I'm making a spec list for mine and bi-fold doors are on the list :)

I gotta say, the sinister implications of a structure called the 'Blood Shed' is at odds to the idyllic English countryside it resides in.

Looking forward to seeing the final result!

The Blood Shed was the name of the old one.  After failing to think of a new name I'm sticking with it.  Daubing 'Blood Shed' over the walls in red paint was discuss, and decided against.
