Thread: A She Shed

Are you going to put a chunky big reverse cycle A/C in there? I imagine it will be very hot/cold dependent on the outside weather ... inside

YEP! Wife can't survive at any temp over 18deg. It is not too bad in there at the moment in the middle of the day, much better than working on the out side of it. The temp here is around 35deg with a 50% humidity here today with no breeze. We have not had any rain since May, it is very dry , the grass is dead & half the plants are almost that way as well. Will be also adding insulation to inside walls ceiling & plaster board.

Strongly recommend you splurge on high quality heat insulation for both roof and walls, or wife could be lightly basted in summer and seriously frigid in winter.

It's been a while but I am progressing slow, what with the heat (not allowing me to work more than 3 hr a day), my wife going into hospital for a week, then came Christmas ( not allowed to work on it ) then I got Shingles , worst pain I have ever experienced ( that stopped me for around 3 weeks) , more heat & now rain, but getting close. 20191224_073314.jpg 20200122_173450 (1).jpg 20200203_080938.jpg 20200203_080951.jpg Should have taken these photo's with my camera instead of my phone , I never learn.
So this morning I fitted the last of the plaster board inside ready to fill all the nail holes , sand & paint next week. That insulation was hard to keep up there until I fitting the plaster. It is all wired & Split System A/C installed . After talking to my mate who is a roofer I decided not to use the tar tiles on the roof & fitted Colourbond roofing.
Once it is painted inside I will lay floating flooring then it will be time to fit out all the storage for her material. The work dose not finish there , outside I still need to pull up the pavers at the front door & lay new 600 X 400 pavers from the door to the decking, I also have to run the decking down the side of the shed & up to the French doors in the lounge room.
The only work I have not done my self is the electrical & I helped my mate put the Colourbond on the roof ( after having double knee replacement this time last year I could not get on the roof my self) . My sun in law also gave me a hand to lift the door assembly into position.

Looking really good there mate!

Don't forget heavy gauge securing chains and good Swedish padlocks in case she attempts to escape.

That looks so cool!

It's been a while but have now almost finished . Flat Pack storage units installed , Made her a cutting table on casters with hinged extension & bought a sowing table also on casters. Now for the hard part , the wife has to decide what fabric she wants to keep & what not, & were she wants to store it. I have told her there is to be none stored in the garage. Some of the fabric she has had for over 20years , she has not used it yet , her taste has changed & she will never use it. I have a four car garage with three cars in it . two Messene Floors the size of two car spaces, there is no room to store car parts & I can hardly walk around in it.DSCN4362.jpgDSCN4363.jpgDSCN4364.jpg
