The issue is I only cut my featherboard up to the edge of the batten. I assumed the edge of the batten was the edge of the window, (as the blue material hid the true window edge). But it isn't - as can be seen by the earlier picture.

The red lines indicate the same position in both pics, and you can see how the window frame is over (by one 2x4" upright) compared with where the batten is.

Yeaa baby! Motorbike in, for some immediate maintenance (I use as a daily commuter so need it back on the road for tomorrow morning! Now I can work in the dry & light). Haven’t had time to tidy up yet!!

I follow you now thanks for taking the time to explain.
Was there a reason why you only used the led panel in your modelling side or did you have the strip lights from the previous workshop.

Yeah just trying to keep costs down, so I’m just reusing the 3 fluorescent tube battens I already had from before + 2 new LED on the posh side!

Well just to close this off as it’s basically finished. Just need to finish electrics and tidy up around the site (garden etc). In the summer I will remake the doors.

By the way I bought the frame with the LED lights to make it easy. The transformer can be situated inside - there is enough depth. The lamp then slides in and final side clips on, it’s very easy to use but effective. (Note this does mean you need 60cms clear in one of the directions to be able to slide it in). For me the extra cost is worthwhile.

Final view. I will update in the summer once garden looks more pleasant! I need some stain to darken that window frame...

Congratulations, Coolhands, that's a fine looking shed which will last for generations. You must be very pleased. It cheers me somewhat that there are so many decent workshops being built, standing on plinths and with an airgap over the frame.

yes thanks all for the positive support along the way, it does get a bit exhausting at times during the build (with all the things in everyday life that are going on as well). I never would have know about the brick plinth until someone pointed me towards this forum so it cheers all :obscene-drinkingcheers:

Couple of updated pics since I was tidying up in the garden. I’ve put shelving up inside now and finally started getting rid of junk (hoarding) to make it a more useable space.

Still need to make new doors.

Haha yeah that’s on my ‘modelling’ (RC cars) side - I had some left over from a room, and underlay too! I’m going to put an internal door there to separate the 2 sides of the shed, which will also help if I want to warm it up in winter.

Just finished making the new doors. Insulated and osb inside, treated shiplap outside. 2x4 for the door construction. I fitted 38mm wood for header and footer and I think 25mm on the sides for a door frame first.

Hi coolhands,
Can I ask how you have found your roof edging detail to perform in the rain? I have something similar (just about to stick down the EPDM edges) and wondered what you did with the corners too?

Thanks!
