Well, when last we spoke we were looking at a vacant corner of garden where a shed used to stand.
A slightly sorry state if I am honest. The shed has been part of my life for 8 years and a haven for me when space and peace are required by the lady in charge (otherwise I am only left with sitting in the car on the drive).
With the arrival a few weeks ago of two strapping workmen, and a truck load of parts of course, that all changed. The wife was even happy to stay home and watch them labour as I was sent off to work.
I am not sure if it was the look she kept giving them, or the onset of Covid-19, but they worked hard and fast and had this all built in less than six hours.
Insulated, panelled and double glazed, it is a significant step up from the last ‘shed’. I am almost tempted to change the blog name to Steinberg Garden Office Space but it doesn’t have quite the same ring to it…
I was wired up as of day one and should have had the power connected in the next day or so. Not everything always goes to plan though! Covid-19 has made simple things like that slightly more problematic at the moment.
It has all been slow going but with a bit of patience and understanding we got there in the end. Next up, the shed starts to come together, and starts to look like a game room / workspace…
Oh, and in honour of recent non-hobby posts that have thoroughly entertained me (thank you JNV, TIM and Bogenwald). Here is the rather pleasing view from my back window… (Lets not mention the front window view of parked white vans and very British suburban town houses…)
Awesome “shed” it looks magnificent.

It is a remarkable step up in terms of build quality. Very happy so far. Being a cynical old fool I am still waiting for something to go wrong with it… 🙂

Well, that looks pretty damn swish! 🙂 If I had room for a shed, I’d want one like that! I’ll be looking forward to seeing it once you’ve got everything moved back in! And thanks for the mention!

While I have had little to do other than panic buy toilet rolls its been nice to watch what others have been up to (even if I couldn’t get to a decent keyboard to respond to anything).

Well, in a complete turnaround in the logistics chain, today’s tea was toilet roll, chips and beans! Takes a while to eat, but fills you up! 😉

You may bemoan your tea, but I haven’t seen a tin of baked beans in a shop round here for weeks…

Have you checked out the old shed posts? I thought that that was nice when I hadn’t seen this one… Funny thing perspective! Lots of opportunities to get new perspectives in this day and age…

I reckon this one is an improvement. Wind up here gusts a fair bit and when it dries out then I will need to get the felt put back on various sheds.

I suspect you suffer more than us southerners when it comes to stormy weather. I should not complain really when I managed to get through 8 years without having to do any reroofing.

Plenty of room in that garden by the looks of it for a small build all of your own 🙂 I guess I can live with your shed envy as I have worse views from my home.

Super. I can think of worse places to get self-isolated.

Sadly all through the outbreak I’ve been working. They tell me I am a key worker but I have a few days break from work so expect a few updates over the next few days.

Its a great leap forward for me compared to the last shed (that one was actually a shed).

Very lovely shed. Much nicer than my basement workspace.

I am lucky in that respect. And even luckier in that the wife allows me to be out there as often as I am. (Yes she’s looking at me while I write this😉)
