While not strictly finished (I have yet to fit up some more lasting attangement for windows and to fill in under the eaves) the shed that will ultimate become my 'fortress of calm', 'potting shed', 'garden retreat', is at least now weather-proofed: floor, walls, door, roof and flashings all done.
My first ever attempt at building from scratch - even dug, by hand, the holes for the piles.
I have visions of its 3.6m x 2.4m floor space being turned into an inaccessible jumble of stuff I wish we didn't own.
It’s a nice sized shed.
ReplyDeleteCreativity is always messy. Well that’s what I tell myself anyway
I've designed a space for messy creativity above the garage that will be built with the house - it goes by the grand name of 'studio'.
DeleteOh no, put nothing in there but yourself and your ideal!!
ReplyDeletedefinitely! Don't let it become the Black Hole...the Room of Doom!!!
DeleteI am a demon at clearance - as soon as the main build is complete my shed will be entirely mine.
Deletewell maybe mine and some inquisitive chooks.
DeletePut a sign on the door that says She Shed, no deposits accepted unless approved first by SHE.. wild clapping and I am totally amazed you did this from scratch with your own hands and mind.. Wow. It will need a name. its perfect for a garden shed, is their room for a chair or bed? ha ha
ReplyDeleteIt would be a good size for a bedroom and we have stowed that idea for a tiny cabin in 'the bush' (scrubland and low trees) at the end of our land - a place for teenage grandsons to claim when they visit.
DeleteWhat an acheievment! Hope you spend many happy hours there. With Scully of course
ReplyDeleteScully has already claimed a space in the doorway!
DeleteMany happy hours in your Garden Haven, not your jumble pile lol
ReplyDeleteEveryone needs a shed. I wish you joy of yours.
ReplyDeleteHari Om
ReplyDelete.... so, eventually, Mr B has to get his man-shed so that your vision can come to life! Love that you built this from scratch and photographed it like a 'goddess' with that sun halo! YAM xx
Happy accident, that photo.
DeletePerfect. David has.converted his shed.into a workshop
ReplyDeleteThe man-cave/workshop has been designed on the end of the garage and general shed to be built with the house.
DeleteHi, TM, thanks for commenting on my blog. Nice to meet you, here.
ReplyDeleteThat’s an attractive little building! I like the look of the external (support?) strips of wood.
The external battens (1) cover joins in the plywood cladding and (2) make it look marginally less like a packing crate on piles 😂. The framing that is the support is all on the inside.
