Can we? Can’t we? These have been the agonising questions over lining the shed from part way through week two of the building process. When the budget was blown and there seemed to be no money to do much with, it was the lining that had to go. Or did it?
Lining options seemed so expensive. Not in comparison to it’s importance and the rest of the build but in relationship to the lack of funds in our shed build back account. The worry of lining and the very real possibility of not being able to line or insulate the shed caused me many a sleepless night.
“It’s going to be freezing!” said most pessimists. Or were they realists? The more optimist and less greedy of my friends said: “Lining? Who cares? At least you’ll have walls.” {Ger-ry friends say positive things like that}.
Anyway, I digress. Long, boring story short, we got lining. Thanks to the lovely Ray’s joinery who GAVE us the chipboard for free. Big yah! {And huge thankyou!!} And, we also got insulation. Not for free but a lot cheaper than our Mitre 10 friends could deal with. Double yah! Not everywhere, mind you. Not in the sleeping area. But the main section will be warm and cosy and the sleeping area … well, there’s always plenty of doonas and blankets.
And… this is the really exciting bit…all 3 external walls got lined yesterday!
Don’t worry, I know I’m not out of the woods yet. There’s still plumbing and bathrooms and kitchens and painting and floors and archs and doors and handles and more to go. We’ve got until Friday, what’s the hurry?
Agh!
This is what we were gifted with at the end of a stressful and tiring day …
How beautiful is creation? He is good.

Your shed is gonna be so gorgeous. Such a delightfully fancy shed. I love driving along Buckajo rd and seeing it's happy pointy roof amongst the vines. Good luck for the home stretch x
