Great sheds - are these from plots at your site?

Wish I had the skills to build my own or add an extension ;D

Thanks Sharon! The first two are my own shed which was quite rotten and is being rebuilt by one of the other plot holders. (I get to hold the hammer and do the odd thing to help.) He also built the other 2. Shed 3 is a lean-to greenhouse in the Edwardian style (a work in progress).

This photo is a progress update on my shed

Nice!

Alas they wouldn't last long on my plot as the local kids believe that greenhouses (or any glass) are there for target practice!

It's still got to be painted, have the pergola added on and the decking built + have the 3 missing window panes replaced. And there's still a lot of insulation and lining to be done inside as well as new roofing felt to go on. So maybe 2015?? ;D ;D ;D

grawrc, can I ask why you are insultaing the shed? What do you plan to use it for? It's got me pondering!

I was hoping to use it for seedlings earlier than I can now. it was originally a potting shed but has been far from frost free. Plus it's nice to have somewhere relatively  cosy to sit during the colder months and days. Anyway the insulation was going cheap.
