Do you not have any concerns with any water getting through the cladding having no where to drain (small risk I guess) - if I was detailing it at work I would show cross battens to allow drainage.
I remember cladding my old shed, it goes on so quickly and transforms the look in a few hours.
In my experience (4 children) you get more time when they are babies and then take up more time as they get older... However I did spend a lot of time pushing a buggy round the streets though...

I'm going to start cladding shortly, vertical boards on horizontal battens. Should be straight forward enough on the square walls but am trying to figure out the least painful way to do the non square side walls with the sloped roof.
It's easy enough for my to cut the angle needed at one end of each board and put them up a bit long, but then how can I cut the bottom of all the boards in a neat straight line at the end? I have a track saw but I've never used it sideways, I'm not adverse to trying, but I can't think of a way to hold the guide rails up. Measuring them one by one is bound to leave to some zig zaggy effects so I'm not so keen on that option.
Another thought I had was to snap a chalk line to get my line and then remove them all, cut them and put them back, but that would take ages.
Any ideas?
