It an internal door within the shed you tart Ferd. Leading to the, every shed should have One, shower room.

I know i don't help, but i kin hate tiling. Good luck.

Bloody love that. Just needs a coat of paint.I can imagine sitting in that, in a shagged out old armchair, reading a good book. Even better, writing a good book. A good British crime caper. It would then get picked up by Guy Richie. Made into a film...... I could then buy a bigger shed...

Welcome to the mad times ahead.

A well, a stink, a big hole and a BBQ.

Had some scraps of oak around, so used it inside. The only thing is it's a lot of different colours. Not sure if to leave it, and just varnish. Stain it then varnish, or just paint it white? It is only a shed. Flooring and blinds next.

Undertaking what you have done with a young family is brave, and perhaps a little mad. Congratulations, to you and your wife. Enjoy your home, and family for many years. Well done.

The embossed surface makes it look strange. However if you saw it on three houses, it would look normal. It's a bit like a modern building. On it's own it might look a bit odd, but stick 3 or 4 of them in a road, and they no longer look strange.

I can't help i'm afraid, but i do know of Two people in london who were refused a crossover. The reason given was that there was not enough public parking in the street. Now both couples said "Well we park Two cars on the street, which we will be able to park off road, on the drive, and will therefore be be reducing the street parking by One car, but will be getting Two cars off the Street. Both couples had different councils, and both refused.

I would do the roof in wood i beams if it were me. They would span that width no problem. I have used them on extensions for years. So much better than the crappy timber available to buy these days.
-
The only other thing i would add, is if you are having a waste disposal unit in say a sink and a half. I always run the waste disposal on it's own 40mm waste until it get to the 110mm. The reason for this, is that having fitted hundreds of kitchens over the years, if something is going to block, it will be the waste disposal, due to not having enough water run through them. While you are waiting to sort out the blocked waste, you can atleast continue to use the sink.

I would deduct from the main contractors bill. -
Had some engineered oak floorboards left over from my daughters renovation 7 years ago. Ripped some up and used them to line the windows, skirting etc. Bloody pain in the butt. Should have just done it in mdf, and got the Mrs to paint it.
-
As Peter said above is the way to go. If the pipes are not going to be accessable again once the units are fitted, make sure you seal up all around them, with silicon or whatever. My daughter had a nightmare with ants, and when i ripped half the place apart, a missing bit of plasterboard was the little blighters access point.

Or even worse. Hacks into a ring. Sticks on a few new sockets, and then joins it back into the ring........Nothing wrong with that.....Except that 4 times in the last 5 years i have found that done, and joined into another ring. !!!!!!!!!
-
I'm with Temp, and the devil. IMHO that is not permitted devl. It's a wraparound.
-
That doe's ring a bell. I'd better still look it up. Would'nt want a ruddy great stack of it in the wrong colour?
-
It,s James Hardie, i cant remember the name....I'd better find out as i'm going to use it on the garage and house?
-
Wouldn't have bothered with asking planning. Move in to your shed. When planning come along, say you had no idea that you were not allowed. Tell them you will apply for permission, but dont bother. When they come back again, say you forgot and bang in an application. If it get refused, stick it in for appeal, after waiting for a good few weeks. You should easily get 18months, by which time you will have moved back into your house.. Sorted.
-
Not sure there would be enough room for you, and your glazing?
-
Had enforcement round 4 times in 6 months. Neighbours are all stuck up twats. Got the Lawyer to drop planning a line advising them that if they come back without carrying out due dilligence first, I will have there woolly tied butts in court without any further warnings. One of the neighbours reported me for an unauthorised building down the bottom of the garden....Turns out its a tennis court sized bit of grass with a wood edging.
-
It is a shed, However, when i knock the house i will prob stay in it, untill i get the walls up, roof and windows in. When i sell the place, it will be a home office, gym, teenagers hang out zone etc. What ever you want it to be. Even a shed. Just a posh one with 18 double power sockets, T.V, Internet points, Shower, basin and toilet. Or it could even be used to store unused walk on glazing ?

Love your recessed light. That looks fab. I hate mine. I'll have to bite the bullit and get a decent door entry video thingy. They just seem to cost so much from Brit suppliers, and they are all prob made in China.
