Another idea, what about turning it into a lean-to from somewhere around the side of the house? That way you can fix it securely to the house so it won't blow away in the wind, and you gain a whole side of wood by using the side of the house if you see what I mean?? You would only have to build two sides and a door for it?? Alternatively, come down here coz I've got loads of wood dotted around the place which the builders have left! Either way, you're a braver woman than me tackling something like that! You need a man around the house, it's so much easier!!!:lol:
Ha ha tried that but, unfortunately, they seem to all differ in their capabilities and I got a useless one, note to self, must continue search

Yes, you can see trees at the top, I've got to put some more ply in there but got to the point where I couldn't be asked to saw it if I was going to knock it all down.

Now, these bits of wood that are laying around, I don't suppose they've got any builders attached to them?

Steve's ideas are great aswell, my dad used shiplap to do his and it makes it look nicer aswell as extending the lifespan, and I think the feather edge is a great idea as it is cheaper, will look great and extend it's lifespan aswell. You can come and make me one out of pallets and ply when I get my new place! :smt002

Steves idea is a good one.

You have not wasted your Day Sheree and have done a wonderful job. Now its time to sit back and relax with a glass or two of wine. You deserve a big pat on the back for a job well done.

Eunice,
I dont think for one minute Sheree is going to enjoy 'Big Pat' on her back. She must be exhausted from working hard all day. A relax in the tub sounds more like it. LOL

Most definitely NOT a waste of a day, Sheree. It looks brilliant and it's yet another job you have turned you hand to and mastered. You have such guts girl!

So Sheree you're not as bad as you think you are! I hope we have boosted your confidence in your shed making abilities.

Aww thanks everyone, I really did think it was a nightmare and that people would say I'd done this wrong or that wrong, but I was ready for it as I really do wnt to learn. You've all really boosted my ego and I'm ready to get going again.

Eunice and John, I've just had a lovely hot soak in the bath and opened a bottle of wine that my sister gave me last weekend (hic), relaxation and celebration in one

I think thats looks fine. I have a habit of critizing myself half way through when others cannot see the fault I see then when I finish it looks fine its the inbetween bit that cause me to "think"

Yours looks great I like the idea of red too.

Thanks Kazz, I think that was the problem, I was loathe to carry on if it was going to be useless but I've got so many ideas again now
