Outside is all done now for the inside ?

New rubber roof going on, I won’t tell you how much it cost but it has a 50 year guarantee which is going to well outlive me.?

Sorry, Shinamae, I digress.

Progress is being made, we have the ? on ice.

Cracking on. ????

Grand designs meets garden shed.
Did anyone watch Grand Designs last night?
I wouldn't have but DH was keen!

Stonehenge meets nuclear power station which was supposedly a family home in the Devon countryside. How did it get planning permission? Nice views, though.

Old roof being stripped off..?

All systems are go! ?

This is a lovely thread.
Grand designs meets garden shed.

I will be following your progress.

Well Jane the main reason for it is so that I can sit out there in the winter reading, and listen to the wind and rain on the roof. It will also serve as a bedroom as I am getting a sofa bed in there in case my daughter wants to come and stay and she can have my bedroom and I will sleep out there. You will have to wait and see the colour scheme! ? There will not actually be a lot in there,I am getting a small Ottoman to keep bedding in and also a small coffee table and that should be it.. I was going to get a few plants to put in there but the price of them is exorbitant so may not bother with them…

Oh brilliant

How are you going to decorate it? and what are you planning to do in there once it is finished?

I'm trying to persuade my husband to buy a summerhouse atm so I can procrastinate somewhere else

Just had another phone call, they have jiggled things around and are now coming tomorrow!! ?

Just had a phone call, they will not be doing it now until next Monday, I am really upset as I had booked the new flooring to go in on the Wednesday but obviously the painting needs to be done before then plus I’m going up to see my daughter on the Thursday and thought it would all have been done by then but not to be…?‍♀️?..

Hopefully it will be done this week because it needs to be painted internally before the new floor is laid a week tomorrow, the day before I go and visit my daughter, I really wanted it all done by the time I went away

I had to wait for six months for a new shed, due to Covid.

I suppose it is happening a lot what with covid etc. It will get done soon

When you are in the middle of building work you just want to get on with it. Never mind, Shinamae think how lovely it will be when it is finished.

I really can’t believe it, nobody turned up this morning so I rang the company and they were very apologetic and said that two of their men were off. Honestly I am getting sick of this now..?‍♀️

Inside of Shed ?‍♀️ Roll on Tuesday!

Just popped in to see how you’re getting on Shina ?
Progress! You need a quick trip to Brian Fords ( is it still going?) for pots of flowers for the outside.

No I’m afraid Brian Fords hit the dust a few years ago. I have got a beautiful fuchsia that you cannot see that is growing from the wild garden through the fence and will be outside my garden room window …. I have picked the flooring for inside the shed (Note to self don’t keep calling it a shed it’s a garden room!!)

We're all waiting for opening day, Shinamae, hope it's not delayed too long
We have the ?? ready and waiting!

Shinamae you’re revitalised shed looks brilliant, good decision.
Like a lot of tradesmen (people) they’re probably juggling a few jobs at the same time. It’s highly annoying, rarely does one job get started and finished on consecutive days.

?‍♀️?‍♀️?‍♀️?‍♀️?‍♀️ Just had a phone call and they are not coming again now till next Tuesday,I did say I was a bit annoyed about this as the guys yesterday did say they were coming back today but I think they’ve booked them in for another job today not realising my job would need another day so another week of waiting….?

.....blame Covid/Brexit/Boris Johnson it’s bound to be one or the other that’s caused them to cry off ?
