A bloke needs a shed

[Aussie Mike]

I only take pics of the tidy parts. The rest of the shed looks like a bomb has gone off I'm trying to make myself more organized but it is a slow process.

The floor is a 2pack epoxy from PPG called amerlock 2K. I'm very impressed with how it's holding up. I've only done 1/4 of the shed floor as its pretty pricey. I'm now clearing out other sections so I can paint them as I line the walls.

It's school holidays so I had my helper out in the shed with me today. We got a heap done. Lauren had a great time helping Dad in the shed.

We finished the wall panelling with 19mm flooring and one bay of dado panelling. The new lights are in and working and make a huge difference.

Tomorrow we should get the rest of the dado finished and hopefully stained to match.

Great shed Mike... lots of ideas for me to pinch!

Can I ask how you attached the yellow tongue to the top hat?

Did you use any framing?

I don't use any framing, just self drilling 8G bugle head tek screws. I stand the sheet up first and pre drill it. A few spring clamps hold it in place when working by myself. I then run 4 teks across the sheet into each purlin. Use the lower flat section of the purlin that way if you run any cabling in the wall there's nothing for it to snag on.

With 4 rows of 4 teks on each sheet it's not going any where. The yellow tongue locks together and you end up with a very rigid wall.

If you are ever out my way feel free to pop in and check it out.
