Slightly dull and more for my records...but never posted photos of the panel repair. Not 100% complete, but weather tight.
Finished it off during the Friday afternoon downpour. As with everything on this the location made it a lot harder than the YouTube tutorials make it look. Most definitely a lesson if I put a shed up in future.
The whole back will get a full coat of the spare black Ronseal mixed with a bit of primer to cover the ever dominant red ceder. But the bottom has multiple layers of products to hopefully keep it good for the next 5yrs.
So far the gutter has kept it dry, but I think I'm going to paint the blue roof joist with roof paint and silicone it in place as a physical barrier. As much as I like the flashing idea someone suggested, from looking at it in the rain on Friday I'm not sure it's needed. I'd like to put a gutter on the front, so I'm still going to hold fire on siliconing everything together as I think a running outlet might be better on the back with the end outlet used on the door side after a 90° left angle.
@Bobbo I tried to leaver off the bottom rotton baton, but in some places it was still too solid and looked like it might damage the floorboards (outer wall frame sits on top of the floors boards). At the end of the day it's a shed, and you've got to pick a point to balance cost, effort, outcome and need.
Still to do:
