Mike,
I'd have to be well 'ard to be that mean to anyone taking an interest in my project.
Rob,
The plan for this shed is to relieve congestion in the workshop. You could say it's intended to be a facilitarium (or do I mean 'facilitorium'?). I've been suffering an 'infection' where 'stuff' gets to act like a fungus and spreads, inexorably, to fill any horizontal surface. So when I screw the bench vice in, stuff falls off the opposite side of the bench! :bang: :hammer: :bang: :hammer: :bang: :hammer:
When I took the photos of the lathe in my thread in the 'Oooops' department, I had two large plastic tote boxes on the chair beside me full of all the odds and ends that had previously accumulated in the swarf tray. They're still on that chair!
The tin shed doesn't have any windows or insulation so I'll not be able to actually DO much in there (but see my comments regarding the bench grinder in my original post). There is a 'translucent panel' in the roof but it doesn't let much light in. Still, I do plan to have a bench in there. Also, the tin shed isn't very secure, about the same as the little wooden shed it's replacing. Nevertheless, I hope to be able to store some low-value stuff in there to make room in the workshop. And the floor area is about 40% up on that of the little wooden shed so I hope there'll be room to get to things without having to move other things out to give access.
All that is still a week or two away yet. There are a lot of screws to fit, if I can persuade the holes to line up, and the floor to finish when the sun comes out again. And last night's rain found a few holes in the roof!

Hi there, all,
Again, I haven't posted for a few days but work has been proceeding slowly - more non-photogenic stuff.
The doors are on and the floor boards cut to fit, treated with wood preservative, fixed down and then topped with shuttering ply. The joint between the two halves of the roof has been taped with aluminium tape and then covered with the ridge capping strip. I've also washed down most of the exterior, it had got very dirty with leaf mould while the sections were stacked beneath the oak tree at the bottom of the garden for almost two years.
There are still a few screws to fit - I've had to discard quite a few of the original screws because they are rusty and I've had to await deliveries.
I'm currently waiting for some galvanised mild steel channel to replace the stiffeners half way up the wall interiors. They were each in two pieces and we seem to have paired them up wrongly. Also, too many of the holes in the old ones didn't register with the holes in the wall panels. :bang: :bang: :bang:
The new channel will be in one piece per wall and I'll spot through all of the holes (with the help of my lovely but shy assistant!) :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:
Still, I'm hopeful that the coming weekend will see us transferring the contents of the old wooden shed to this one and dismantling the old one ready for disposal. :D :D :D
