my summerhouse conversion back in March

[brian r]

this is it and some of the build inside

half flight 6ft long by 2ft6ins wide storage underneath

set of three breeding cages made with 15ins white melamine finished chipboard with three home made nestboxes

shed was insulated with loft insulaation stuff that comes on a roll and walls then lined with ply
hope this gives new peeps some ideas on how to do some stuff withan old shed ;D

well its October now and i feel i need to expand my summerhouse now into area in the front

am going to put a 10x8 shed there on a concrete base

yeah where they join ill put the entrance door should help with the joining together then i might put a outside flight on the far side and have an entrance door to that on the opposite end so there will be a corridor affect from front to back

a rough plan to show it the shed im getting will have double doors as standard so i can u each of them for this purpose
