C'mon Deb! You've gotta be back by now :'(

What do we want?

 Pics of the Des Res..

When do we want them?

NOW!!
Sorry.....forgot to take camera yesterday! :-[

I have got one which only shows the sofa, it's not very good though...just to whet your appetite!

If it's not pouring with rain, I'm either in the garden or at the lottie! Probably still there in the rain as well TBH....🥴

It's 12' x 12' floor area....but looks bigger because the sides splay outwards to add to the 'rickerty' look. Having the little dormer window makes it look bigger too I think. The sofa is a small 2 seater I got off a chap via Freecycle, I've nearly nodded off on it more than once! ;D

I'll try to remember to take some pics later today (can't sleep, body clock still mixed up from night shifts!) ::)

oh thats a nice size, my dream shed is to get a 10' x 12' workshop, to use as a crafting area and storage for garden tools, if only my OH will finish the fencing so i could buy said shed and put it up >:(.

Nice first picture of what I'm beginning to think of as the Hen House!....lovely little place where the laydees can sit and have a mug of tea, look at seed catalogues, chat about 'things' -  while the men toil 8)

btw....are those galvanised bukkits you've got as plant holders? Nice touch 8) Where did you get them please?

I found several old buckets left rusting in a corner when I took the plot over, and a large oval metal ?washtub, one of the few useful bits of junk I found! They have small holes around the bottom so drain nicely as come in great use as door props as you can see! ;D

OK, inside shots taken this morning.....



Left side of the doors, with handy coat hook!



Right hand side, garlic and some shallot harvest drying, 'bins' for netting and plastic bottles cloches



Storage bins and shelving, old cot side used as a drying rack!



Cam relaxing on the sofa, worktop work area, little stove and beverage area! You can see how the sides slope outwards here.There are bins underneath which hold my potatoes in the dark.



Dormer window view, peas and onions drying out.



Lockable tool cupboard, useful radio shelf and storage area.



Not much worth nicking in there!

Happy now?! ;D

My shed would probably fit into your tool cupboard! 
What do they say about size not being everything...

Not much worth knicking? Hope your shed's bolted down securely :o

Thanks for showing us, all home comforts + some really sensible work arrangements. Love the cot sides idea 8)

My rake is a really old head bolted lop sidedly onto a broom handle, my hoe is at least 40 years old (but still sharp!), the broom head falls off all the time despite being screwed on loads of times...no posh copper tools here! I really don't keep anything in there that I can't afford to lose, it's a practical space even though it looks lovely ;D ;D ;D

My other half has just bought a shed off e-bay and it is a load of old wood in my back garden (which is very small) and I cannot get out the back door or put any washing out.  He is going to erect it at the weekend, but knowing him it could be a weekend in the next 10 years.  We even have old lights from a skip in the bathroom for the shed and a stereo that someone threw away for the shed.  He also has a security camera for the shed but doesn't know how to work it.  Now if he had bought the log cabin I would be over the moon and buying new carpet and curtains for it.
