Don't know who is quicker at spitting out their dummy !!!!!!

Our first Grandchild/Grandson Tyler was born at 12.27pm on Thursday 26th weighing 6lb 8oz :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

All the spray bottles are for cleaning my car & the top 5lt bottles are to top up the spray ones along with various polishes & wax's, the keyboard is just for the computer & I have no plans for the shed it's just for me to have a getaway as our son has mental health problems so it's just a...

Well just a quick update on my progress on the shed, it's far from perfect but has been a great learning curve. Just got to save up for the electrician to come round and wire it up properly

Hi all I don't post a lot on here but read posts all the time as I'm just getting in to woodwork as a hobby, so I know nowt really so can't help with anything as you lot are what I call proper experts. But now I need some ideas & help/advice & really do need it, we came down this morning & found...

Cheers chippy I'll get right on to that on this wall and do the other ones with two fixings top & bottom :oops:

I don't know if your referring to my shed or the lovely one that jack55 has, if mine I'm going to use Glass fibre insulation then ply it out inside & as far as heating it goes I'm looking at these http://www.tubeheat.co.uk/low_cost.php

Well just a quick update. The frame is 99% done for the walls, getting the timber for the roof & to finish the stud work both sides of the door frame today, & I've started the cladding.

Ok I'll get on to that at the weekend :oops: , I thought I'd only need them spaced at 4ft for the ply, so I guess 2ft with noggins :)

Well some progress on the shed, base now done & started on the walls.

No problems Bob, if you lot don't tell me where I've gone wrong or missed something I'll never learn for the future & I need all the help I can get :lol: :D

Cheers everyone for the advice, i'll get some DPC down & I know I said the outside walls will go all the way down but I only meant down to half an inch past the base just so the water drips off without running under & sitting on the base, so that will still give me 3.5 to 7.5 inches at the...

That is beautiful DW

It's base sits on 7ft long concrete fence posts plus packing to level it off as our garden is up & down all over, so the clearance underneath at it's lowest is 4 inch's & it's highest is 8 inch's so no wood sits on the grass & I thought with the amount of space underneath will stop a lot of damp...

This is my first project, a new shed. I got the base finished today, but has been a real pain as I used reclaimed timber, so it was trim a bit here & add a bit there.

Cheers mate that's good to hear as I have seen a set at my local tool shop. I'm in no rush so I will just build it bit by bit with treated timber so it will withstand a bit of Autumn/Winter weather.

I will be asking the most stupid/basic questions so sorry in advance, I had to give up work as a truck driver 3 years ago to be my sons full time carer as he has mental health problems. So to help stop my brain going to mush I'm wanting to build a shed but I know less than nothing about...
