Shed porn

Blogs always look better with a photo at the top, so here's an entirely opportunistic photo of the shed I've been building at the bottom of the garden. I've said it before, but I'll say it again: Yes, this does have tenuous links to the allotment.

People in the office have been asking why it's taken such a long time - I started last August. Now they can see the answer. It's not because the shed is particularly complicated or flashy. It's because I'm a tedious detail-monkey. Yes, those are fully working sash windows. Yes, I did make them myself. Yes, all the shiplap is screwed in place, not nailed.

Anyway, now it's all done apart from the paint job (to be painted in Holkham linseed oil paint, colour 'parchment') and some barge boards to go round the roof. I've been scouring the neighbourhood for designs in the vernacular. If I can work out how, I'll take some photos and host a poll here for what gets built.
