I am pleased with it so far, progress has been very slow due to the horrid summer here in Edinburgh that and getting little time to work on it. It's watertight and have put in my workbench, some nice shelving. The pvc Windows coming out of the house I plan to reuse use in the shed as the main...

Roof on, still needs EPDM but it's watertight with that tarp.

Walls going up

Sorry not been putting up progress pics, the extension on house has begun so I have the shed almost done bar the roof cladding, windows :D

Great job

Did you cold vent the roof mate?

Looking awesome Fitz, love the detail around the windows and doors top work. Larch looks stunning already.

With the size of shed and it been within a meter of the boundary I had to move the left wall in to be within regulations regarding the roof height, also while doing this I decided I wanted a deck at the front, so I moved the front wall back. So the plan now is to build a sitting deck to the side...

Finally got the floor down. Been very slow progress with the wet weather and getting few hours here and there. I have insulated under the floor with 100mm of general purpose attic insulation, had to save money here and there so this will do for now. The floor is 18mm tongue and groove p5...

Thx Robin, Ive tweaked the roof to around 12'' over 10 feet (1:12). Around 4.8 degrees of fall.

Blocklayer? Yea its supeb isn't it

Right, reading more threads etc the walls will be 4x2 and the roof rafters 6x2 I think the extra expense is worth it long term. One potential issue I have measured diagonal to diagonal and im off by 3/4'' from left to back right been longer. How significant is this?? Could I frame the walls...

Found a great tool online http://www.blocklayer.com for rafters and birdsmouths etc, attached is the proposed rafter. What's not clear in my head is the size required for roof rafters, the span is 10 feet, 1 foot overhang and 6'' at the low side. Is it safe to span 10 feet with 4x2? I had a...

Thanks Paul/Fitz. As I need to do this in phases, I think probably best to add extra base timber to the floor frame, run the T+G floor up to the wall but not under. Then I'd have a solid base to frame the walls on, while not having the pressure to get the walls and roof up pronto, speaking of...
