My first go at a new shed
« on: 02 July 2012, 21:28:24 »
I thought I'd already posted the start of my shed but can't find it  :-\ :-\

Well last year I decided to have a go at building a new shed myself from scratch which if you knew how bad I'm at DIY you would be wetting yourself with laughter.

So found a secondhand wood supplier in Didcot & got the basics for the frame & had a go at it.







Then I found a company that make big posh summer houses & they said I could help myself to all of their off cuts & scrap wood for free, so all the T&G & the odd bits of 3x2, 4x2.







Then had to leave it for a while as our son has mental health problems & has been in & out of hospital a lot over the last few months so could only do work on it as & when.
But lately I needed something to do as I found things getting on top of me so cracked on with it & now it's almost done.

Looks great .... but that's a house, not a shed.

Have to say, you have a good collection of tools for someone who says he is crap at DIY.

They are bits that I've needed to get while building it as I didn't have any DIY related tools only mechanical tools for working on cars & got 99% of them at silly low prices from Gumtree,eBay & Freecycle

Did all my homework first by asking all my neighbors that it would effect first if they would mind, then got pre planning approval from my local council & the OK from our Housing association.

Cheers mate it has given nightmares at times & nearly ripped it down a few times as well but if you were to come & see it you'd notice things that I've done wrong but it'll do me for now  :y
