    Fully insulated and lined, and while it was being built a glazier friend gave me a couple of double glazed windows that had been sitting in his odds and ends. It keeps a fairly stable temperature, but a heater run for a short time of a winters evening helps a bit, and windows and door open on a summers evening takes away much of any heat build up. Far cry from shed number 1 which either cooked or froze.

    I have come around to her way of thinking and have to sadly report the aforementioned construction will not be going ahead

    And seeing as how I have been granted leave to spend (Invest) a few 1000 in a new bandsaw today i'll let her win this one

    Pole dancing idea still has some appeal, only after I get bored with my other new toy (Bandsaw)

    Default it's ok...

    My shed .... dual garage... dividing wall between with access door-way... each has front roller door ... each back & side windows... I have fitted air-conditioning into main side..... but only have to open door way and air circulates through both.... also have overhead filtration system... and vacuum suction on all machinery... both drop saws... JET saw bench & thicknesser have there own systems... one large central work bench... then another huge mobile one I've stationed outside front door.... which happen to be under cover at end of large patio....its double brick... ceils... fluro lighting... each garage has 8 power points... and three phase in second area.... 2 of nearly every darn piece of machinery & some more of the routers & last count on clamps was 14.....(carba-tec love me...I'm sure)...
    Oh it's all monitored & security alarm system.... sterio & outside fridge with beer & diet cola.... between each roller door.... the air-compressor is sitting outside... but can go in when I decide to stop being lazy ..... I'll wheel it in....LOL .... I use the blower vac to dust... clean up after each project... and need to be down there all this weekend as I've two pieces to make by wednesday.... If I knew how to get hold of Shane... I would scream HELP ME .... but will just have to plod-along.... so any MANDURAH readers... take note.... I need moral support & encouragement to get back in there.....

    I don't get wet or cold..... heating system is small fan.... I go in... turn heater on for 10 minutes ... that's it... can work day/night cold/warm.... its the emotional distress that I can't controll... after loosing my best friend... partner... lover.... husband... YOU can have all the sheds & all the gear... and still not have the heart to go in it....

    So.... now I have it all... tell me how to get the will to use it again...
    I used to love working in there so much.... it just hurts now..... perhaps that's why we're not meant to share "sheds".... as you lose the drive.... it's like when the batteries go flat & no longer recharge.....
    Night everyone...
    KEKEMO....
    Don't think you're playing it safe by walking in the middle of the road.....that's the surest way to get hit by traffic coming from both ways!
    I'm passionate about woodwork.......making Sawdust again & loving it!

    Kekemo,

    Perhaps you could look at your shed in a different light.

    Sheds are positive things where ideas and projects are conceived. These projects are used for good purposes - not for violence, destruction or hatred.

    Your projects can be used as gifts for good friends to make them happy, to make them feel loved or to make their life a bit easier.

    The materials you are using are from Mother Nature or rescued from the tip or the fire place. How wonderful is that?

    Your shed gives you a warm feeling, a sense of accomplishment, a way you can be close to nature using your creative ideas and your skills. It is a place where you can learn new skills and methods and see the results.

    Your shed is a very special place where you can relax but work and think hard. Your shed is a reflection of you where all the tools and materials are placed and used just the way you want them to be placed or used.

    You can make whatever you like in the style you like, the size you like, out the material you want and be as quick or as slow as your mood determines.

    Outside your shed you might be stressed by all the controls the bureacrats, criminals and idiots (possibly all the same) impose on you. You can't do this, you can't do that, you will start when we tell you, you will do it like this, you must do it like this or like that ....

    I don't pretend to understand your loss because I have not experienced such a loss but I have told you how I view my shed and the sheds of my mates - give it a go in your own time and turn your shed into a wonderful place rather than something that reminds you of your loss.

    I voted wrong by accident. It is insulated, but only for sound. Don't need fans or air con, pretty temperate climate here.

    I plan to extend my shed towards the end of the year. Once the walls are up then I am going to have to put some insulation into the ceiling and the walls. Its to dam hot in summer and Ok in winter but the heat kills me out there during the hotter months.
    Dave,

    I wanted to say full or not big enough but you haven't given those options, so heater and fan it is...it's insulated too, soon I plan to put a split system in, then let her try to get me out of my shed. LOL
