    Hi BWJ, Nothing borrowed from the site. It is all complete now and open. Lots of big mechanised bits in there. Work seem happy so that is a bonus. Now looking for something else to do as my contract is up at the end of March. No worries though. Back to the shed. I looked at the cost of T&G and couldn't see any savings to be made. I looked to see if I could get some solid filled conservatory panels but cant find any where I can just buy and build a modular building. Blocks are an option but by the time I dig out, hire a few bits and clear the mess, there is no benefit. Metal just seems so flimsy and there are condensation issues but you do get a lot for your cash.

    Tis true Ttaskmaster. There is still a difference of opinion as to what size butts needs. 7/8ths or 1 inch.

    Nice one I coudn't get away with that in the dining room (I have asked). I can push through the house but need some space just in case I end up with a project.

    Thanks for the advice guys. I could build one but don't know if I can be bothered. I am just going to buy a flat pack one and take it out to the garden and nail together. I could but a bigger one 2 wheels and take the 2 sections apart to get through the door but a 12 x 6 will do I think so just a bit of groundwork to be done. It shouldn't be a problem, I have just finished Project Managing the build, fit out and occupation of this:

    People think I am just a pretty face. People who have never met me that is!
  16. 1 inch (25mm) Some other bits HERE
  17. I would love to make squires but will be away on holiday. Don't have a 2 stroke for May. Anyone else want to get together for a weekend camping?

    Oxford do a digital one and there is an analogue one I have seen that fits on the yolk stem. I have an oxford one on the yolk and TBH I have only looked at it twice. It was there whan I brought the bike and it would take me weeks to discover if it had been stolen. What about one of THESE fit them onto your leathers.

    There are a few of us "older" guys on the forum and always good to know that there is still at least one thing we can get our leg over

    OK guys, thanks for the good advice. I currently have a 8 x 6 potting shed that came with the house. As for the new shed. Wood is now a definite. T&G is a definite. Double doors are a definite. The only problem is that that I can't get anything bigger than 6 feet through my house. This was something I forgot about so the maximum width is going to have to be 6 feet. Length wise I am now looking at 10, 12 or 16 feet. If I go for 10 feet I will not have to do any groundwork, any bigger I will have to lay some additional concrete. I am going to ponder.
