The finished article (outside anyway!)
The lighting I got from IKEA. Great piece of kit, with a wireless controller that sits in the main house. Choice of warm or cool white. Very slick with super easy setup. 2 sets gets you 6 bulbs and 2 controllers. That’s a spare bulb for outside and a controller for inside, so just bought 6 x warm white dimmable for a fiver each To use with the 2nd controller.

sorry, I bought an old Jag and my attention has been diverted away from this for a while.
There are only a few minor bits left, mostly with the paint brush ( which I hate )
But I've officially moved in, its the HQ of my company now and I work there daily !
The damn plug for the TV box is too big to fit behind the telly so despite all my hard work there are still cables hanging down.
I will fix that easily enough - but as I said, my attention is elsewhere at the moment.

How did you wire them?
Lighting is weird now. We used to rely on lighting ring circuits (I think, I'm no sparks) but now with wireless controls there's no need for switching circuitry. So what do we do? Wire all the light sockets all in parallel from a dedicated slot in the consumer unit? Hang them off a plug socket? Wire them into a plug?
I’ve a 13amp fused spur Coming off the ring main in the house (approx 8 mtrs from point to point). Where the 2.5sq enters the shed on the left side, I’ve an isolator (another fused 13amp I had spare) which feeds off to sockets in both sides of the build. At this isolator I also have a feed to another fused spur (6 amp) ) for all the lighting, internal and external. Total load for lights is 12 x 5w GU10 led and a twin T8 100w fluorescent for shed side. So very little demand on the lighting circuit. I’ve a perm feed to the external lights and a separate switched feed To both the shed fluorescent and the ‘room’ side (in case daughter loses the wireless controller - not if, more like when) .
As for the rest of the power, 4 double sockets on her side for nothing of demand (525watt panel heater is the only appliance ) and 4 on the shed side, again, very little demand. I did buy a Scheppach bench drill in Lidl for €99 (500watt) Which will be a permanent fixture. So, I should be fine with 13amps - plenty to spare

Thanks, that's really useful.
Which panel heater did you go for?
What ventilation?
Bought this on the blind.

Worth a punt at the price I felt. As for ventilation, I didn’t. If she’s too warm, she can open the door
There are Integrated vents in both of the door top sides.0 -

Good find! I also bought a cheap heater and invested the savings in a Nest smoke alarm. :pac:0 -

I got this one 4ft one recently : L'Home 4FT 120CM 36W LED Batten... https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07MBTRHS9?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
Lights up a 8ft x 10ft shed really well.
Haven’t had it long enough to give a proper review, but so far so good
Ted, thanks a mill. Had a quick look..... and purchased via amazon prime for 20quid delivered. Can’t ask for more than that and no homework needed on my part
Thanks for the info Lumen0 -

Daughter put this together last night. Finished. At last. Total cost 4,260€.
That worked out really well. You do realise you're never getting rid of her now though right

yes, one wall.one roll. Ordered 2 to allow for the match but didn’t need it. Have a spare roll here.is that wallpaper? the stone effect works really well
yep:) the colour she wanted for the 3 walls was warm sand dulux but on application it was way too dark. Tinted it @ 10 parts white to 1 part warm sand - made 2x2.5 Ltr tubs so can touch up in the future as I’ll most likely forget how I made it!That worked out really well. You do realise you're never getting rid of her now though right
cheers, really enjoyed it. The plastering was interesting; first time, but finished up pretty well. Just taped and jointed the ceiling. She’s happy out.Rows Grower wrote: »Super job all around and a great little video for posterity.
