Ok, its not a new shed but for the last couple of weeks I have emptied my shed put all the contents in the back room whilst i have been painting the floor and built framework, panelled inside and made storage shelving.

Mrs RS has been going crazy at me, especially as I promised it would have all been back in before last weekend and the little lady uses the backroom as a play area!

Well I dont like to rush these things the floor has been primed, undercoated and glossed along with all of the wall panels and i have used most of my old tins of paint that have been knocking about for a while. I have only had to buy 1 tin of paint for the floor so feel good that i havent sent it all down the tip.

i feel a well deserving drink coming up:Y

Soon to add sockets and lighting, already got the armoured laid last year connected up to a CU in the garage put not connected in the house yet.

 
you need any help with a rod inspection? ;)
Well I was wandering where to ram it in? Can you help Steps?

Actually no offence Steps, but dont think I want your help with that one lol!

Luckily I know where the gas main is cos I hit it with my shovel last year when digging the trench. Oops!

Hopefully, water will be near enough straight run from street stop cock (rear of property) to internal.

Electric erm no idea! But hoping that sort of goes straight out as well.

 
Its a metal shed and although no extraneous parts, I had thought it will be better to convert to TT as house is TNCS and because i'm fed up of Steps banging on about it lol!

 
you really dont have any idea of my alter ego on a saturday night, do you Robin? :|
I have erm...............absolutely no idea, are you going to spill the beans????

I wont tell anyone or embarass you, promise:)

Gary Barlow, Nichole Sherzyminger? Hurry up ans tells me, I dont like being left in suspenders!!! ROTFWL

just some working progress in the shed.

Ordered one of those swa cutting tools as needed to make up amount for an online order and this was going quite cheap. i thought it worked ok, quicker than a hacksaw but it didnt make a great deal of difference.

Nice clean cuts, just tighten the cutter slowly and progressively, no need for too much pressure.

Got loads of tool boxes and a technicians ck bag. However this open tote which I recently got has definately been best purchase yet with just my essential tools and not the loads of crap that i normally carry about and dont use very often (thats all in my other box).

Metal clad socket, nothing special really.

Spare crabtree 4 way board and some old mcbs being utilised. 30ma protection back in the house as swa is also feeding an outdoor socket before the shed.

All looks great, nice shed.
Cheers, done it on quite a small budget really.

SWA was a freebie courtesy of friendly wholesaler, crabtree board was supposed to be for wifes auntie as I was going to change her old one and put in rcbos but she changed her mind, circuit breakers were spares off old jobs, internal wood panelling came free off a boat from china (honest i am not making it up) and the paint was all old tins of gloss.

This week i have stuck polystyrene insulation on the inside of the roof to stop condensation in the winter so that cost
