It's been a while... The workshop got put on hold for most of last year due to lack of time and a lack of funds - but I've got cracking again.

I've finished boarding out the walls and celing, caulked the seams and painted it all white to reflect the light. Painting was a real bitch, as the OSB is uneven and required 'stippling' to get the paint to cover.

Or did, until my arms gave up and I bought a cheap Earlex HVLP sprayer to finish it off. Apparently it looked too much like fun, as Pauline kept pestering to have a go.

I've also had the electrician in and he's run the power to the shed and installed 6 double sockets, a sealed strip light and switch and a mini consumer unit.







Power is via a 6mm armoured cable from the garage, where it's hooked into the house via a spare way on the main consumer unit.

Next job is to lay the flooring (some garage floor / heavy vinyl courtesy of costco) and then build the benches.
