looks good but omg is that a snake!? where did that come from
hope it is a pet!
Nahh, just a little slowworm (they are a legless lizard, not a true snake. They are native to the UK.) Found loads of the little blighters during the excavations.
great little project write-up.
Am building a small garage for my bike(s) which I'd also like to use as a workshop for my woodworking, and this is very helpful to see the different elements of your build.
Great stuff.
Good stuff, just make it as big as you can is my main advice, or whatever you think about how many sockets you need, double it, and put them all over

So, as it stands today:

3d printer in the corner on a little home made table, made out of pallet scraps.
The freezer, which we grabbed of marketplace, was very cheap, but as its a Beko, is actually ok to function down to -15!! So even in a worst case scenario, it should keep the food safe in there in the coldest UK winters, even without the heating/insulation

You can see the base panel of the door was not up to the twisting/kicking that comes from being that low, so it needs to be replaced with some wood of some kind. Although, I am tempted to re-do the door to make it a little more rigid, and easier to close, as it drags a little on the threshold.
Flipped over to the other side:

Screen is on an arm, so it can be moved in-front of the pushbike when I am riding in there, and out of the way when working on other stuff.

Monkey bike taking up basically no space in the corner behind the 400


This is the little physical thermostat that makes the pointless digital heater controls (that reset themselves to max every time) actually work in a sensible way. Its also plugged into a little wifi meross power control to keep track of any power usage, and allows me to turn it off remotely if ever needed.

Printer sat ony my home made stand, and a beautiful oak table acting as a makeshift motor stand, so my next engine rebuild project! The engine is sat on a sheet of plasterboard to protect the oak polished surface. Seems a shame to have it in the shed, but it is so strong, it makes sense

Looking back over it all, note the jumper wrapped around the beam to stop me whacking my head when sitting up on the pushbike. I turn it about 45 degrees toward the TV, and blow a fan from the ceiling to keep my cool.

Looking a little more used now
