Hail the all knowing sheddie,

I've just popped over from URG and know that it is not really 'done' to ask
a
'proper' shed question, but I am throwing caution to the wind
anyway...........

You lot use your sheds all the time (real and virtual) so maybe I am allowed
to
ask: I was wondering whether I could insulate a cheap shed from one of the
DIY
places so that I could heat it a bit and use it as a painting / potting
workshop - maybe even in winter ?

It would be placed in a fairly shaded spot on my roofgarden, up against the
back
wall : www.ljconline.nl (garden/roof). There could be electricity run to it
without too much trouble...........

Any thoughts, tips, ideas, experiences would be very welcome "-)

You coud also ask on the BBC talk section (allotments). My husband
built me a shed ...........

So all I now need is a handy hubby :~))

on the back of the garage. It is made of breezeblocks
with a windown at front and back and the roof is thick plastic.

I like the idea of a semi-transparant roof. Would be good for
painting............

other wall butts up against the fence of the fella at the back. Years
ago we found two little heaters that burn as much as a light bulb and
they keep things frost free. Skip the carpet - pests and diseases and
all that. Best to have a floor you can sweep.

Agreed. But for insulation it might be a good idea to put down some old carpet
with lino on top.
(is it still called lino, or is my age showing?)

Mine is concrete and has been painted.
The wall were painted white and I have screws and places
to hang things. Maybe you could find a spot to build something like
this. My electric has been brought through the back of the garage. I
love my shed. Got a small greenhouse too but its not as useful.

The spot I have in mind is 'above' the garage :~))
