Tenderloin-
Saw one IRL just last week - CNC bits done in OSB rather than ply. Rough sawn cedar cladding was lovely - owner said was a nightmare to cut the herringbone pattern. Described the procurement process as 'beta'. Would be interested to know how it matches up cost wise to trad timber frame or SIPS.

Ta, very interesting- I’ve already got to £13k + VAT on the Armadillo model or whatever it’s called.
I’m going to need a bigger Kevin McCloud gilet budget. I reckon I could sell a bike or two and some guitars and cover the shortfall.

So our offer was accepted. Paperwork starts tomorrow (I’ve not sold our flat yet which is a minor inconvenience). EA called me yesterday saying ‘I’m outside with a viewer - let me know when you’re home’ despite not having booked in a viewing with me, which was nice.
Anyway, I’m going to start planning unnecessary things - sheds. Lufgus hivemind - Tell me about sheds / garden offices.
I got sucked into the homemade shed thread, which was a bit too sheddy. The amazing one is nick Warner’s here: https://www.lfgss.com/conversations/355704/ bit I don’t have the time or skills to do that.
Shed needs to be within permitted development, could be up to 5mx3m. Ideally partionable into 2 bits, insulated, powered, not ugly. It’s going to be work from home working space, and an occasional sleeping space* , mild storage for garden things, gin palace etc.
*yes, I know - not allowed but sister in law wants to occasionally come and stay and we don’t have enough space indoors.
Budget is probably £10k all in (base, purchase, installation, electrical, checks by qualified people. any pp required etc.).
Suggestions or inspiration please
