New bonsai shed

[CWTurner]

So I've been self isolating since last Thursday, and have been wanting to build a shed for all my bonsai crap, so I threw this together.

Still need to finish the roof, add a stoop and some sort of door lock. Probably paint the window to match the roof? Maybe match the black trim?

So you "threw this together in a few days? Bet all the material was just sitting there collecting dust.
Ignore me, I'm green with envy.

Is there room for a reclining lounge chair & a flat screen TV? That is important.

 

[canoeguide]

You're probably going to want a mini bar and some tiki torches to go with that door.

Wire on the wall, small turntable, containers for seived material, shelves for extra pots. Lots of opportunity here! Well done, enjoy.

Nice work dude! Anytime you get to give you more room for tree stuff is gold.

Looks pretty sweet, lets see the inside!

Shoot... All the stuff some of us got laying around, it would surprise you. Especially working in construction as my family does. We've got 10 doors, and 15 big old windows just sitting in the garage Cant forget about all the tile and brick

 

[B.uneasy]

Looks awesome, good job! I bet your happy asf having a whole new space

Not all of it, but the door glass, reed, and bamboo. Collected the rest on my way out at Lowe's. Its business as usual there, so I bugged out. Shame for those that can't afford to.

No chance, its a disaster for the time being. Stay tuned.

Thanks to everyone else. Looking forward to getting organized. Got a ways to go, but if I can't do it now, it will have to wait til I retire.

Both of you great job. Those will be great new homes for your trees and supplies.

Looks like it is finished now.

Here's some inside pics.

A work table.
I have a crushed stone floor.
Pluses: no floor to build, no floor to sweep
Negatives: floor gets damp when it rains.

A nice little window that get morning sun.

It was really dark in there so I cut a piece of lexan to make a couple windows to let some light in. (I know, they don't match the roof pitch. Forgive me)

I'm pretty happy with the project, and that it didn't blow away in some recent big winds.

Got some breathing and walking space in my garage now.

I've always been a DIY'er. I believe that you should always try something yourself. You may be surprised at what you can do, and you learn with each project and get better with each project.
If it turns out you're all thumbs it won't cost more to have someone do the job just because you tried to do it yourself first. (ok, some things may be an exception to that)
And thanks for the compliment!

Is that blender for makin' fruity drinks or for chopping up bark?

 

[CWTurner]

I use it for chopping sphagnum.
