Sturdee's wood storage shed (Cont.).
Well a year has gone by since I last posted in the original thread being a WIP on converting my old chook shed and run into a wood storage shed for the accumulating timber to turn into masterpieces.
As the thread is now locked, this is the continuation to bring you all up to date.
When I stopped work on it a year ago I had finished the first and second storage area and had lined the wall and laid the base of the shelving in the third area.
At that stage I had a few other jobs to do and after a few months I went back to start on the shelving and found that my health started to interfere with it. Walking from the shed back to the workshop and back caused me severe breathing problems. Those are now sorted together with the other health problems.
After this enforced lack of activity I have brought the garden back into shape and painted the fences and house as well as some renovations inside, so back to the storage shed I went and I have now completed it.
In this third section the lighting has been fixed, shelving installed and a gravel base laid. This section has an eclectic mix of shelving including an old filing cabinet. When this has settled I may yet pour a concrete floor in all the areas, but for the time being it is being used.
Here are the final photos to show what I have done.
This is the outside showing the storage shed.

and down the length.

The conversion took some time but now I have been able to move wood and Corian from all the weird and wonderful places they had been put away (including the lounge ) in to the storage area. The carpet stored in this is for a future project and together with the compressor will be moved elsewhere in due course.
Total cost for this project was the nails, paint and 4 fence palings to cover the last door and of course a set of locks to keep any of your guys out. The rest was recycled or reused. Some of the chipboard came from Springwater, thanks again Craig, the rest from road side hard rubbish and the filing cabinet out of our old office.
Now for the further shed reorganisation which I hope won't take as long.

You are going to cop a bit of flack over this. That's just too much. Just wish I owned it - need the room. Great work!

Nice.
It's a real bummer not being able to add to old threads, it's supposed to be being looked into.

Nice going on the completion and conversion to wood storage. Does not seem to be much wood in there but I think you are going to tell me that the rest of the house is now clean.
Hang on that's exactly what you said.
