When I bought my shed, years ago, it came pre-assembled in seven large panels. So large that I couldn't pass them through the side door to the garden. The door is only 2 meters high and some of the shed's panels are 2.4X2.4 meters.
After a sort meeting with my shelf I decided to cut the large panels in two pieces, and then reassemble them after I move them into the garden. I did it and the results are almost perfect.
The soil where I put the shed is quite soft. So, although I took all the precautions, the south side of the shed sinks into the ground about 0.5 cm per year and I need to use a car lifting jack to lift the shed and put some packers underneath.
Please have a look at the photographs above, and scroll down to visit the interior of my shed.

There are some items in my shed that I am proud of.
One of them is the pottery stove that my wife brought from Greece.
We had it for many years in pieces, and when I build my shed I decided to assemble it and use it.
Actually it is too powerful for my small shed and as a result one or two logs are enough to keep the shed warm for the entire day. Of course I can always open the door of the shed for a couple of inches.

(The photographs where taken while the lathe was in another place. My shed has no central heating.)
Another important thing in my shed is my little EW engineering lathe.
I bought it on eBay and it came without motor.
I used a small single phase 1/3 HP motor witch gives enough power.
Apart from the motor, the lathe came complete with all the gears for screw cutting. The truth is that I never cut any thread.
On the other hand there is a play on it's bed about 10/1000 of an inch and recently I started the project to fix it.
More to come.
