Nine and a half grand! I could buy a half decent motor home for that.
Sheds looking good by the way, could enter it for shed of the year. What size timber did you use for the roof, my garage roof is looking a bit knackered and I was thinking of replacing it with a pitched roof.
2x2 treated
Tidy up the wiring, battery, gas pipe and sorted a pipe out to drain the sink which runs into a tank underneath.
Post more in the week.
Next project might be a car or repairing workshop as its in need of some fettling.
Thanks for that I thought it was but you can’t always tell from photos.
Been a busy week round the wagons so haven’t had much time to do anything big on the shed.
Managed to get a shelf up, boxed the other wheel arch in.
Got a light above the door.
Coat hooks.
Panelled the door up and got the bolt on and doorstop.
Glass is on the burner.
Sat morning I’ll get the shed on the front of the house and get the flue and log burner screwed together.
Sat afternoon got some groundwork to do.
Sun its away down the road to its permanent site.
It’s all go.
Couple more pics
Waste pipe for water.
Tidy up the gas pipe.
Boxed in wheel arch.
Trial fit the flue.
I don’t reckon a single axle caravan trailer is sufficient to support that weight. I’ve built a few car trailers out of caravan chassis, and even to support a stripped out race car I always used a twin axle trailer and even they were borderline insufficient.

It concerned me up until this morning.
But its out of the back yard and down into its leafy abode.
It was heavy but not too much.
Range rover towed it OK no dramas.
It went over 8 speed bumps OK.
I’m going to pack it underneath with old railway sleepers tomorrow.
I’ve got some groundwork to do but nothing major.
Had to do a bit of chainsawing to get it in
Got some minor fettling to do over next couple of weeks.
Jobs done and I’m pleased with it.
Only damage getting it out was the drainpipe on the side of the house, it was a tight squeeze. I used a bit of 3 in stainless to repair it
Hope it gave you some inspiration to get a project on the go
Thanks for the advice people sent me, get your projects on the forum.
I begged blagged a lot of materials for this shed and the milk of human kindness is alive and well.
Fantastic job, I’ve really enjoyed this thread! 
That looks great , I think I would paint the window frames a different colour tho 
Bet you got some funny looks towing that down the road
