Better not show my wife… looking good!
FMD. This stopped being a shed some time ago methinks.
I have been adding gadgets much to this missus’s disgust. But then she uses them and admits it’s cool.
Bluetooth speakers, Bluetooth party lights. Electric height adjustable desk.
Should knock out a fair bit over the weekend. Got a bit of momentum going, want to get it finished.

It’s a good creative outlet. Makes me think, makes get creative. Decided if I was going to all the effort I would try and make it a bit special. Probably doesn’t hurt the house resale value either. I’ve done my best to stay under budget and am always looking for ideas to save some dollars.
Probably mentioned it already but the portal window is 8mm tempered glass.
To get it done by a glazier , would have cost me over $300 each pane.
I made the frame from MDF, $40 sheet, and got two glass coffee table tops for $40 each delivered.
Total $120 for two windows.
A glazier to custom make two windows , over $1200.
Or $600 just for the glass.

Wow, you would be one sought after bloke on site. Often builders will save money by hanging sheets and getting a plasterer in to set it. This is the worst kind of work for gyprockers, because builders (except for you) can’t hang sheets for shit! You even corniced it yourself too! 3 step was the perfect choice, often overlooked by builders in place of 90mm because its a few dollars cheaper.
Good cornice choice transforms rooms, at a small cost.
Mind blown.

Iwasjust thinking don’t we need a “club house” for Plinkfest? Perfect project for @Supaduke once he has finished this one.

Looks fantastic mate, makes me wonder where the piss taking stops…we got some quotes for a very small extension, almost as expensive as building a whole house…
So a few more updates.
Nearly finished now. Weather has been pox every weekend. Progress has slowed down. All that’s left is a bit of trim and final fit out.

I also gave the bathroom a mini reno during yet another BS raining weekend.
Daggy plain old mirror replaced with sleek shaving cabinet and I put in a new light and power point for good measure.

I can do lights and power points. Have the machinery to do some serious woodwork.
If you have the cash and imagination, shit can happen
However, the main question is, can you get sharks and lasers, unrelated, asking for a friend.

Sharks, how big?
Lasers, eBay.
Not sure about deathray lasers, but enough to give you a nasty burn.
