We got a bit more done on the shed this week . Had a few jobs to do as well so didn’t get a full week at it . Also had a day we needed to abandon because of high winds we used the evolution saw with the new blade and that worked well .

I do love a shed.

what about one of these old style units ... could be had for peanuts at auctions - binned one in my clear out, I'd bought for sod all but never got round to installing
crate serious levels of hot air - can be thermo controlled and a remote set uo would be a POP with what's available these days
can also get multifuel jobs too

I used to have a ticket for working on the Gas/LPG Variants of these. Bit dated now and always the potential to kill you.

OPs shed is insulated and 14m x 8m maybe? Probably only needs about 6kw to keep it ticking over. I would suggest a pair of chinese deisel heaters working from a common fuel tank, and keep a new one as a spare.

What about inviting your local politicians around most are either full of s**t or hot air

looks a great shed @Vinpetrol We are looking about with a view to downsizing - straight through the ads to the bit about the sheds and outdoor space, bollox to the house, leaving my shed here behind will be a tough day

Just getting the duckling ready for action ! It’s now got the steelwrist fitted . I had to switch to control system as the 4 pipe didn’t work well enough which was a bit more expense and had to wait longer for bits to come but Angus done a great job of fitting it . Needs tow bar attached to blade now , then ready for site I might go for next size down in grader . It seems to handle it ok but might be a bit lively fully loaded . Also BMC forks need adjusted as they won’t rotate because the cradle is to near the rotator . That will get done in next couple days ready for site next week

yeh I had considered that as a suggestion too ... impressed with the heat mine chucks out and as you say, with all the insulation Vin's installed it wouldn't need much to keep it toasty, once up to temperature - easy enough to run a fuel line to, inbuilt pumps, could do away with their integral tanks and feed from a bigger reservoir of fuel

exactly what Russ bought ... spectacular workshop, with 3ph, pits and an overhead gantry, with commercial plannning and great access, out in the sticks .. the cottage with it was secondary ... knocked it down and built an oak frame to his spec. .... total paradise

when i bought Chez Druid the only box it didn't tick was 'a shed' --- but room for one
