My master plan


The red blocks are the shed's window and door.

The light green block is the lift out section across the door.


The tan blocks are the baseboards.


The mustard block is where Diane and Charlotte's village is going to go and will be lower than the other baseboards so it looks like it is in a valley with the track on a bridge at the back.

Slowly making progress, no trains for a while yet






I've run out of 50mm insulation board so I am going to measure what else I need and order the remaining stuff for 1 delivery.

The depth of the roof framing will only allow for 25mm insulation board, I'll need MDF for the baseboards and 2" x 2" for the legs.  I already have some 2" x 1" and 3" x 1" for the battens.

Two photos showing the progress I have made

Took a few days off work to get things moving on the shed front.  I worked from home on Wednesday and the electrician choose that day to come and do his bits which was handy.  I now have two fluorescent tubes and four double sockets in the shed.

I got five sheets of plywood and five sheets of insulation delivered and am now in the process of fitting the insulation to the gaps in the shed wall frames.

Once a wall is fully insulated I will be able to cover that with the plywood leaving a nice finish and hopefully making a cosy shed.

Here is where I have got to :

Photos, photos and more photos

The day has finally arrived when my shed was delivered and installed.

Here is a photographic record of the different stages.  The final interior shots don't really portray the size of the shed but it is 16 feet x 10 feet or 5m x 3m in new money.

Back to plan A

Just got a call from the Shed supplier to say the factory is loading my shed ready for delivery tomorrow.

All the ground works are complete so I don't mind them delivering it a week earlier than plan B.

Will post a photo or 2 tomorrow when I get home from work.
