A shed or a cabin!

A few years ago, well only 3, which is only one more year than a couple! we bought a Billyoh shed. We spent ages researching which was going to suit what we needed and ordered it online. Big mistake! The floor rotted and fell through, the roof bow'd and all in all it was a massive pile of uselessness. I tried calling, email and writing to Billyoh but have never had a response.
So, we've torn that down and Mr Toon has built a new one. He ordered all the wood from a wood yard in Derby. When it arrived, I wondered if he'd ordered a bit too much, but turns out, nope, he was building a shed just slightly smaller than Windsor Castle!
Along with the shed we decided to buy a special saw thing (can't remember what it's call, but I'm freakin good at using it). I cut the wood, Mr Toon did the building business. As we wanted this to look really good, we decided to go for a tile effect shingle, which was slow to put on but looks fantastic.
All in all, it's cost us about £1200 but looking about, for this standard and size of shed, I think it would have cost well over £3,000, plus if Mr Toon and a split up, it's big enough for him to live in!
