When I put my shed up 22 yrs ago I filled between the uprights and roof spars with polystyrene sheet,then covered that with hardboard emulsioned white.
The floor is also insulated and covered with hardboard.

Ive had a lathe in there for the last eleven years and a milling machine for about eight years,I don't get any rust on steel parts or components,the secret is a small storage heater I had given to me that runs on Economy Seven when the weather turns colder.

It's always cosy in there even in winter

Now that the wee boy has started crawling.....

It looks like im going to make every thing kiddie proof :'(

I'm almost at that stage Porkie with my son!

I had a new Karcher Pressue Washer arrive a few days ago (as the last cheap Wolf washer broke a while ago).  I've tested out the Patio Cleaner (or T Racer as they call it) that came with it, and to my surprise we have patterned slabs!    I'm amazed at how easy it is to use the T Racer.

A cautionary tale regarding pressure washers. I was using my Karcher to clean the patio and my step daughter decided I was in her way so tried to run through me. The result was I ended up accidentally spraying the garden shed, with the resultant weird stripe all along one side. Even re-staining the entire shed never took that stripe away :'(

 :'(  The poor shed!  I hope your step daughter was punished!!!

Maybe he made her re-stain the shed 

My wife couldn't decide what stain looked best on the shed at our previous house so she painted alternate planks in two different stains.

Fairs fair though, she did paint it, and it was certainly a talking point

Hi,

Spent most of this week decorating my sons bedroom. Spent 7 hours on Tuesday stripping off the old wallpaper and then putting up lining paper. Painted the walls on Wednesday and finished off the gloss work today.

Now moving on to put the finishing touches to our Ikea kitchen, which I built 3 year ago. I can be a bit slow at times, unless it's somthing to do with trains.

Bob - for once I'm not going to attempt anything witty or pithy.
I just think you're a wonder, and I'm sure you and your wife will end up with a wonderful home

Wow. You've certainly got you hands full. Your doing a grand job and I'm sure it will look fantastic when it's finished.

I've done laminate flooring, laying slabs and decking before. Tried plastering, not very good, and tiling, again not too great. I'd really like to learn more about electrics.

It's an old Council house we bought on the cheap when we moved up to this area.
I used to have a building company years ago so most I have done before.
I detest plastering, but with so much to do.....
I have not done tiled floors before and I am not sure I'd want to again. Getting them level is a job and a half. Some appear to want to move overnight. At tea time they look great and by breakfast some have sunk or slightly moved out of line, despite spacers being used.

Well I've finally managed to get started on 'doing up' what we still call the 2nd bedroom, despite living here for 3 years now.  So far I've taken up the carpet and underlay, and a few floorboards.  I've chased out three walls and inserted three double sockets, which are now all wired up to consumer unit.  Tomorrows job will be to fill the holes and begin painting! 

Or, I could finish the woodwork on my new layout....

Funny this thread re-showed up as I have been busy helping my dad today, where the waste water pipe leaves the kitchen sink to ouside drain, we cleared the outside drain sump free of silt and any other debris. Not the best of jobs but a bit of planned preventative maintenance. The jayes fluid helped the smell but we got there.

Don't you just hate it when walls start squatting in your own house
