DeerhoundLurcherMan 997 Posted July 6, 2014 Report Share Posted July 6, 2014 Only had a poxy little shed for a while now, so all my stuff has been kept round at my old mans, which has been a pain as he lives 15 minutes away. So here is my shed build......... 1. Old shitter smashed down... 2. Marked out 8x6... 3. Dug out, shuttering and hardcore... 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DeerhoundLurcherMan 997 Posted July 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2014 For what a decent 8x6 would have cost me to buy Im still quids in so far, next is to finish cladding. Hang a nice strong door. Paint her up and get some power in it! Get all my fishing stuff, shooting stuff, mountain bike, freezer and whatever else she wants out there lol.... I read somewhere on here before about engine oil 50/50 mix in the shed/fence paint??? Anyone? Thanks for looking, any advice welcome Oh and lets see your caves Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tomburras 2,721 Posted July 6, 2014 Report Share Posted July 6, 2014 That is great! An alarm is a great idea too. Just need some homebrew equipment in there next so you can enjoy a home brewed tipple on the sly lol. Great work it looks fantastic! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
