OK, so now I'm getting excited ;D
The old caravan has gone.
The log cabin has been ordered - hopefully to be delivered and built week beginning 23rd July.
Today, we've cleared away plant pots etc and started to take up the old paving slabs - more tomorrow if it doesn't rain too hard.
Just need to make sure they are all up and the ground underneath raked and flattened before delivery day . . . . . .
Starting to make my IKEA shopping list . . . . ;)

How exciting ;D
OMG OMG OH MY GOD!!
I'm so excited for you.
Have fun ! :D
lucky you can wait for the pictures.
This is what it should look like when it's finished ;)
(Except there won't be space for the picnic table etc . . . .)

Brilliant - well done ;D
Ooo that is a gorgeous space!! Shed envy over here ;D
Ooh it looks great, bet you can't wait for it to be there, I'm very jealous!! ;D
It's gonna be fantastic, no wonder you are excited! ;D
:) That will be a fabulous work space, looking forward to seeing pictures of the progression!
(I would love a space that I don't have to share with bikes, washing machine, garden tools, cricket gear etc, etc!! )
I would love a space to turn into a space to put my shedio!!
Have you had any more ideas about what colours to paint it?
That is one very swanky replacement for a caravan, and what a lot of lovely light. I'm up for a shed soon as we are moving house and I will loose my great little stone hut. There isn't anywhere for me to put my torch in the new place so I might have a short hiatus until I can find suitable alternative accommodation. I will watch with interest how you get on!
Wow, gorgeous building. Shed envy :)
Shed envy here too - its going to be gorgeous! ;D I'm excited for you ;D
Thats sure going to a beauty of a shedio :)
Wow, great looking shedio, you will have so much fun reorganising everything

Since the majority of the IKEA stuff seems to be black, white & grey, I'm thinking a very light grey wood stain for the external walls with a dark grey for window and door frames. I'll probably leave the inside a natural wood colour - just use a wood protector/oil.
That way you can help me choose a nice, bright colour carpet remnant/end of roll to liven it up ;D
Thrilling stuff - looking forward to seeing it! :)
How exciting - bet you can't wait! Looking forward to seeing pics as the build progresses. ;D

To properly liven up the shed the new carpet should be flammable, you know keep you on your toes ;)
Red would look good with the outside colour scheme
It's all getting so exciting ;D
Think I may have found the carpet! Went to our local carpet shop and explained what I neded.
It's a contract office carpet - suitable for computer rooms - it's anti-static and flame retardant.
Comes in a really bright red/black mix - as the guy in the shop said, the scorched bits won't show . . . .
Sounds like a really good solution and it will got with the colour scheme.
Had an email to say the log cabin bits are on the way from Europe so went to the carpet shop yesterday and ordered the red and black carpet ;D
Unfortunately, I'm working away most of July so, if they manage to build it in this weather, I won't see it going up :(
Have to get DH tp take pics.
loads and loads of pics and he has to post them on here as well as to you ;)
I now have a shedio ;D
As I was away, my OH texted a couple pics:
Base went in on Wednesday - looks as if a mole had been very busy where they put in the support posts!

Build was done on Thursday - they're nearly finished in this one

We started putting wood treatment on the outside and varnishing the inside. Carpet due to be fitted on 7th ;D
"My name is Sue and I am a shed envyist" - is there a support group yet?
Al's away for a couple of weeks in the States - was planning to get the Cuprinol out to spruce mine up, but feeling whatever I do they won't be so lovely. Wonderf if I leave the gates open someone will steal them in the night and the insurance will pay up for some new ones? Guess water and leccy pipes secure them to the floor a bit?
Bet you can't wait to get home and see it?
There is a group Sue, I', the first member and I am a green eyed monster! Bear in mind that I have been to Ikea and a different shed company to help support the decisions as to what is going where.
Carole, it's looking fab, I can't wait to see it.
Wow that looks sooo good ;D
Krysia can I join your support group please!!!! ;D
