Big Jimbo Posted August 14, 2020 Author Share Posted August 14, 2020 So I fitted out a shower room to the posh shed. Nothing to fancy, but should be functional enough. Still got to fit a shower door. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Jimbo Posted August 14, 2020 Author Share Posted August 14, 2020 Couldn't be bothered to plaster, so when I finished plasterboarding, I got the Mrs to dry line it. She has now started painting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tennentslager Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 Looks great @Big Jimbo Remember the nice touches as you’ll be sleeping there if you get too drunk/snore loudly/say you fancy an actress/tell her mum she’s put on weight...? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldkettle Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 This is a fantastic habitable space, is there any risk neighbours might complain to planners about it? Just emailed our planning department about temporary habitation rights for the time of the build, read so much conflicting advice while researching.

I'd tell mine she'd put on weight and that I fancied her mum if it meant I could live in a shed like that... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 ? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just emailed our planning department about temporary habitation rights for the time of the build, read so much conflicting advice while researching. 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. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Jimbo Posted August 20, 2020 Author Share Posted August 20, 2020 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.

Big Jimbo Posted August 31, 2020 Author Share Posted August 31, 2020 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. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll give you "Garden Building" or "Cabin" or "Tiny House" or "Garden Retreat". Shed? - no. This is a shed like Rod Hull's Emu is a Pedigree Albatross.
