Show me your shed

^Boast post ,,,,,and I thought mine was bad

you need a skip!

Not quite at the level of my pre-shed shed yet :-)

Rigt after a temporary career change (city cunt to builder) and 4 months of fucking hard work, the ‘shed’ is finally complete and ready to keep me sweat but in a more fun way. This has definitely been the most fucking challenging thing I have ever tackled on my own but weirdly enough not as hard as I was expecting and hugely satisfying!

Nice!

amazing job. What roof material/product is that?

Awesome mini-gym/big shed!

Walls need painting ;-)

Discovered a bit of a leak in my shed roof where foliage (now removed) had got below the felt. What's best to patch it up, new felt on top or is there some kind of gunky paint I can slap on?

Roof is galvinised sheets. Made by a swedish company, very hugh quality and modern stuff

I like it raw :)

Depends how big the hole is. I've patched mine with glue gun and offcuts of felt before. But the holes were all very small.

Re-felted my tiny shed couple of weeks back. Managed to create a small hole in the process. glue gun glue and scrapings of shed felt aggregate made a nice neat plug.

Thanks for the album title

Some nice ones, and some awfully gimmicky ones that I can't imagine are ever used.

I was hoping for a bit of hive mind inspiration. I’ve just had a bit of a reshuffle in my studio/dumping ground shed, in the hope of making it a slightly better working space (i work from home in it). I dun a piano photo which shows the new arrangement, leaving me with one end of the shed for 3 bikes. What’s going to be a way to store them that’s kind of lowest visual impact on the rest of the space? I thought vertically, but maybe that would be worse?

Hooks in ceiling, hang them vertically against far wall, alternating hanging on front/back wheel so handlebars don’t clash.

I was thinking of those clug things for vertically but wasn’t convinced of their durability. Ceiling hooks I would have much more confidence in. Might be a bit visually imposing, having them vertically, but it does probably give me the option of n+1ing

Imposing but neat and tidy. And yeah, you’d get five or six in that space...

Not quite shed, shed, but in my mini shed.

Just thought I'd share 2 things I've found really useful:

1. Cargo net
   
2. Mr Beams battery powered motion sensor light.
   
   

Sorry for the poor image.

Aftrekken (what I read on the second box top left) means masturbate in Dutch snigger.
But yeah, shed envy.
Why three drills?!

A hammer drill, a regular one and an impact driver. I like not having to change bits when working, so one has a driver and another has a countersink bit or similar.

With the prospect of a new house looming I'm making shed plans again. By a quirk of fate the house we liked (and are buying) is right behind my employer's building - the exterior is at the bottom of my garden. I'm seriously considering asking for a party wall agreement to build an outhouse at the end of my garden. Being architects, I imagine they'll get some lols from my attempts at design, should probably wait to get through probation first (though you could say that about buying a house).

Got a shed in my new place (not moving until Easter though).

Long term I'd like to get power into the shed. Anyone have any idea how much it'd cost for a sparky to wire me up?

Its about 20-30m from the house. There is currently an outside plug on the side of the house which we'd not need once the shed is powered (so I'm guessing they could just use that connection).

Would be used primarily for lighting. Pillar drill, sander, grinder. Possibly some arc welding too but if thats too much strain I can do that by the house on a normal plug.

DIY seems a bit hairy especially as its covered by certain regs nowadays so would essentially be illegal.

Possibly only living there for a couple of years so tempted to just get a long extension and coil it in everytime I leave the shed.

No pics I'm afraid. That'll have to wait.
