Old-codger Posted June 21, 2020 Posted June 21, 2020 Thats a nice job I wont say anything about the doors just your wife is right but never ever tell her that. And I know in these eco times and that Greta child I should not say this but I may have mixed old engine oil with creosote for many years and the creosote substitute. The modern water based stuff is useless and seems to me just to be a coloring exercise. Quote
Guest Swagman Posted June 21, 2020 Posted June 21, 2020 Ronseal one coat. Though I gave it two Screenshot 2020-06-20 at 20.35.25.png To be honest Tiggie I’ve used that paint before and found it useless seemed as though it soon wore off, but the shed looks great well done . Quote
Tankbag Posted June 21, 2020 Posted June 21, 2020 Great job How much have you saved doing it yourself ? Is it a motorbike or lawn mower & stuff shed ? Quote
Bender Posted June 21, 2020 Posted June 21, 2020 Great job How much have you saved doing it yourself ? Is it a motorbike or lawn mower & stuff shed ? Most pre bought sheds are poor quality, unless you start spending significant sums so I would guess a fair bit, I would always sooner build it than buy Quote
Tiggie Posted June 21, 2020 Author Posted June 21, 2020 [mention]Tankbag[/mention] all in all I've spent about £650. I could of probably found a premade one for around that or a little more but they just aren't sturdy enough for me. I wanted to be able to put up shelves, sockets etc and they barely have any joist work to do it with.The shiplap is probably twice as thick as premade as well It will be to move all my tools into. I'll keep lawnmower and gardening stuff, ladders etc in garage.[mention]Swagman[/mention] I'll see how it goes, still got a full tin of it to use if need be, I'm hoping that it being sheltered on 3 sides will help it last Quote

James in Brum Posted June 21, 2020 Posted June 21, 2020 I went to centre parcs once. Is that photo from their promotional literature or one of you own [mention]Six30[/mention] ? So strongly reminds me of that holiday, can’t hear the name Colin without seeing images like that. Quote

Mickly Posted June 21, 2020 Posted June 21, 2020 Saw a YouTube vid of an inventor who built a underground shelter in his back garden accessed by a trap door in his shed.Love the thought of it, what a great way of using space, unless your name is Josef Fritzl Quote

RantMachine Posted June 21, 2020 Posted June 21, 2020 Pretty darn swish! Nice work.But, the walls are lacking in insulation; sound proofing probably isn't great. For that reason you only score 4 out of 5 Fritzls. Quote
Tiggie Posted June 22, 2020 Author Posted June 22, 2020 I feel like I've won the shed dwellers lottery Quote
Mississippi Bullfrog Posted June 23, 2020 Posted June 23, 2020 Have you got a copy of one of my favourite books? - Fifty sheds of grey.It's about sheds.There is another book by the same name. That one is not about sheds. Quote

Tiggie Posted June 24, 2020 Author Posted June 24, 2020 Going through all his old tools I've come to realise I didn't know him as well as I thought. He never, in all the years we talked told me he once owned a Harley 18inch!! Quote
