My neighbours dad builds towers of offices and flats, and his hobby is wood. He built this totally off his own plan. I just told him I wanted a 12x12ft shed, and it morphed into a 14x13. It wasn't going to cost any more to build bigger.
He has contacts in wood yards, so I got an absolute bargain including his wage.

I was looking at £950 quid on the net to build a 10x10 or thereabouts, made of what I can only call paper, which was just an off the shelf. Something of this size and almost similar thickness of boards, would be 2.5k on the net .....and thats before you find someone to build it.

He found it a pleasure to build, and is quite jealous, hes still trying to twist my neighbours arm to build him a big shed in the bottom of her garden to match mine, as at the moment, he has a smaller one, and his cellar that he works from. A very meticulous worker, who took great care as if it was his own he was building.
