Wow, it’s been slow progress with all things shed related. I’ve been plugging away at the insulation in the roof and I’ve managed to build the frame of the partition wall that will separate the garage from the main workshop area. It’s been a while since my last upload but I feel like I haven’t […]

After some time away from making videos to spend more time with the family and also because my main camera failed me entirely, I’ve slowly eased back into things, coming up with a plan of attack for the shed linings and insulation. I was leaning towards doing it in a way that allow me to
