Garden Shed

Fantastic! Looks like a house out of a fairy tale!

Will be a great playhouse! Lucky grandkids!

That is lovely! I envy your grandkids!
What a neat way to get double use of a very attractive structure!

That’s quite a shed. Did you do 2×2 construction on this, too?

Wow John … that is great looking shed/home-theater!!! And I love that it will eventually become a fabulous playhouse for the grandchildren …what memories they will make at Grandpa’s house!!!

The window boxes and weather vain will look GREAT. For your home theater you will want some shades or something to cover those windows to darken the room. And down the road, I would definitely add some whimsical curtains in those windows, especially when it becomes a playhouse.

Wait.. wha…? Theater room?

Only thing I can think of is mounting a projector and having it project out the window onto a screen outside?

Explain.. That really caught my attention, if even I missed it on the first read. Mayhaps it baffled my brain too much and it forgot it. :)

that’s amazing.
You are fast!! I’m embarrassed now at how long it’s taking to finish my gazebo.

What a great job you’ve done on this. LOVE the roof. Weathervane and window boxes will be perfect finishing touches!!!

Thank you everyone for all the nice comments . Scott i am going to have a LCD or plasma flat screen hung on the wall . Easy to bring in the house in the winter time and doesn,t take up any space.
Debbie , i thought i was going really slow on this thing . lol

Holy cow what a great shed! Way to think outside the box!!

umm how long has our gazebo taken?? now THAT”S slow

Where is there an unglassed wall big enough for a tv?

And I would recommend LCD, personally, plasma reacts badly to too much handling.

Thanks everyone , After checking out some TVs i am going to go with a LCD . I have 2 walls i can put it on . 36” – 42” will be lots .
Debbie if i lived a little closer i would come give you a hand . lol

That is one beautiful shed John.I just couldn’t see using it as a shed though.It’s just too nice.

-- Bon,Hastings,Ont.....zone 5a....Always room for one more

Thanks Bon , i got carried away building this one so now i,m gonna start over and build a shed that i can actually use for my garden tractors . lol , maybe 2 windows max .

Oh John I am sooooo glad to hear that … I too, just could not imagine such a pretty little cottage being used as a “shed”. :-)

wouldn’t that be fun?

We’re thinking about having a “structural renovation party” to put the roof on—my nephew builds houses etc and rumour has it that he doesn’t like being asking to do roofing. He’s not a roofer! Ok—so we’re doing structural renovations.. lol ..

Your theatre is looking grand. You could hold video parties in there!! :)

i have a bit of experience with roofs . i,m working on being mobile very soon . It,s only been 6 years .

We can have a roof raising party . lol

-- John in Cranbrook , http://www.extremebirdhouse.com http://community.webshots.com/user/cranbrook2

congrats on the “almost mobile”!!! That will be exciting.

oh yes.. a “structural renovation raising party” lol. Lots of hammering, sweating, laughing, and of course food!! :)

-- - Debbie, SW Ontario Canada (USDA Hardiness Zone: 5a)

No hammering or sweating , i have nail guns and compressor . lol

Love your shed!!! A few window boxes would set it off, curtains are a must for a theater. The weather vane would be a great touch. A few whimiscal touches outside would look great too,ie.(a little mailbox, birdhouse, a old wicker chair, a grapevine wreath) Just some ideas!

-- There is always room for one more plant!!

oh right… nail guns!!! Never thought of that :)

So, planning on putting up drywall on the inside, painting it, or leaving it as is?

Thanks again everyone . I thought about drywall and trim but i want to keep it light enough just incase i decide to move it .
