The finished shed

Two years plus from my last post the shed is now (virtually) finished. Work on the shed was significantly delayed due to working part time (which at times was virtually full time). 

Gutters and down-pipes were fitted and drains completed in March 2014. Some roof water goes to a soak away and some is pumped to a water butt conveniently situated in the garden.


Over the past few months I have at last had time to conclude the work. The garden has been landscaped and a floor (made of reclaimed bricks from Stax Reclamation) laid. The wood burner from Dean Forge is in situ and the chimney fitted. I have temporarily fitted clear glass to the small window. I plan to make a stained glass window to fit into this frame. I have added pictures of the shed below.

Chimney fitted looking to roof apex. Finished with stainless steel.

The plan is for this window to be made of stained glass.
