Shed Extension....even more progress 14/4
« 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

Good God man! It’s soon going to be bigger than your house  lol
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  ;)

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.

Bloody hell! You do know you'll fill it in no time, don't you? Nice build though.

.....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.

Excellent idea Giles. Double glazing as well now, how cozy! :)

You really don't do small project do you.

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