Title: Shed Extension....even more progress 14/4
Post by: Eric the Shed on March 16, 2020, 06:16:20 PM: At the end of last year my contract at work finished so rather than diving straight back into work I thought Id take a few weeks off - it looks like this sabbatical is going to be extended for somewhat longer than i anticipated thanks to the current news...

Every cloud has a silver lining and so I decided to extend the shed again :D

It was a bit narrow in there, I must admit, so I’m sure this will make for a much more pleasing gaming space.
Impressive DIY skillz ;)

Post by: fred on March 16, 2020, 08:16:11 PM: Great work - I wouldn’t have even known where to start. And now seeing how you have done it, I wouldn’t have been remotely able to do it anyway!!!

Regarding the 6’ table - while more space is always good - a 6’ table can be a bit big to reach into the middle - 5 to 5.5’ can be a bit more manageable for those of us who aren’t that tall.

.....just a simple frame build

Smug, very smug :D :D :D

Splendid work, Giles. A facility to be proud of and envied by the rest of us.

At what point does a shed stop beeing a shed and turns into just another house in the backyard?

Post by: warlord frod on April 02, 2020, 03:12:51 PM: Do you have a way of linking the four tables so they do not shift (Being that they are on casters) I love the idea because of the increased storage space. Love your shed :-*

Should have added that the casters are lockable - plus once the tables are laden they are going to be fairly heavy so movement will be limited. Thanks for your kind comments

Post by: FifteensAway on April 29, 2020, 06:51:42 AM: Looks good - though some joint tape and premixed joint compound and a well used painter's spatula would go a ways to hide those wall joints! And can someone sent him a load of dull coat for the table top? Jealous, I be. :D

Post by: NurgleHH on May 02, 2020, 06:18:46 PM: So Giles, In may you will have the Royal Eric Shed, right? The biggest Wargaming shed in the whole world. I think many of us are jealous.
