The shed is finished!

Quite a long time ago now... near 12 months... I posted about a project I had going on here. To build a multi-purpose space in the back yard. Well now it is finished and below are the results.

 I'm most happy about how this once dead area is now being constantly used. My husband and I used to find we rarely went into our garden, apart from a quick stroll to check that the plants are alive. This has been so great to get us using this area! We've had two Christmas events in the entertaining space, the gym is used everyday and the other end suits whatever project I have going on at the time. Right now its a painting zone.

If you read the first post you will note I was pretty bummed about having to compromise on the cladding. The more I looked into the more I didn't want to go with the man-made products - I really didn't want to paint the boards and I couldn't find myself warming to the look. But persevere and ye shall find! A local timber supplier had a batch of hardwood decking that had a few saw marks in it, making it unsuitable for that purpose but totally right for us. And at 1/3 of the price of the hardwood we had looked at we snapped those up!

Thanks for stopping by, Sarah xx
