Gardens, overrated!

You won't grow much barley and apples on 5 meters..

Naw I'm old scool remember. I do believe the fairy tales and what the 3 little pigs tried to do. Tis block and stone and they can puff all they want

I can recommend steeltech. My shed is taking shape nicely now and the kingspan insulation is the mutts nuts. I reckon it'll make a passive office/brewery.

@iMark, was it pre-Kingspanned or did you retrofit this?

Mine came with it built into the panels. It's basically kingspan sandwiched between outer skin and inner frame. Feck all gaps and cold bridges that way. You could fit it yourself but you'd be putting it inside the frame. You spec it out from a picklist when ordering.

I have battened out the inside, polythene, and plasterboard. So it's nice and cosy. Can see myself spending a lot of time on there.

Well, That's the tiles laid and grouted.
They just need an occasional buff to get rid of the residual grout, but otherwise the floor is in.
i had to strategically crack a few tiles to make them fit the uneven floor (especially around the edges), but now it's looking good, and more importantly non-porous.
For anyone considering doing any tiling, make sure to spend the extra fiver and get tile spacers, and get a benchtop circular tile cutter €40 from b&q and I can't fault it.

Nice job

The exodus from my computer room continues.
Both fridges in now and working away.
Dark American lager on the right lagering, and dunkelweizen on the left just put on. Special bitter just bottled.


Electrics well tested now with the second electric AG boil done today, no bothers even with both elements on full.
Well there was some bother in the beginning with one of the elements constantly tripping the switch. Turned out to be just a dodgy kettle lead though. Switched it over for an old computer lead for today and had no trouble then.
The brewing side of things isn't pretty yet, but I should eventually build a rack for a 3 tier gravity fed setup.
