My only excuse for such a pun is work – the whole day in front of a screen with a spreadsheet…

But what should I have not done I hear you wonder? 

What I should have done is ignore all the OSB off-cuts sticking out of the builder’s skip but no, the womble couldn’t resist. That’s why the soon-to-be tea shed is almost fully clad inside with 12mm OSB. Of course in the best traditions of a ‘good idea’ I ran out past the point of no return and graced the local DIY shed with my presence and Wow! isn’t OSB sheeting expensive these days. Run out again, just as I got to the tricky eaves bit. I’m now looking for a bit of softwood to upcycle.

In my defence, the wendy-shed at the former ‘plot of dreams’ was fully furnished whereas this shed had a distinct whiff of eau de rodent and rodent-shaped gnawed holes.

The question is do I stop there? I know the sensible answer is YES, just go and get the tea station from the other plot and stop faffing about. I’ve had 3 years of DIY so shed-primping is just silly… but, but this feels half-done. I’ve got this far might as well jump in for the rest of the 9 yards.

I’ve got a roll and a bit of this wallpaper leftover from en-suite renovations – https://www.grahambrown.com/uk/product/tesronto-blue-wallpaper/119660-master/ or some leftover cream emulsion?

What madness have you talked yourself into recently? It can’t just be me, can it??
