Update on the mezzanine floor,
by nailing 3 planks up under the floor joists, more storage room is created for odds & bits, wood, guttering, pipes etc., between the floor joists, & the odd hard hat!

View of one of the bundles, the black bits are the left over framing of the previously mentioned spark guard, which fell to bits!
the styrene pipe bits were ends left over from other projects, the long white bit was intentional, as it would be seen from below, & it held the whole together when super glued, by careful gluing the bundle will just slide into its space & not fall out again when moved.
As I do a lot of photography I want to keep my options open in case I change the use of the building as a backscene for a photoshoot.
For example whats there now is suitable for an agricultural packing shed, but if I change its use to say a maintenance shop, there could be odd bits of exhaust system dangling from the rafters so as to speak.
Probably anyway in real life, when not in use for seasonal packing, if there was not another dedicated building available I expect planned maintenance, would take place in such a building

Being playing with electrics to go on shed wall, the black wall socket is from 40 thou styrene, the extension bar is from 80 thou styrene, as are the plug tops, drilled .06mm and old telephone wire strand inserted to be used as the flex

Thanks Mel, getting the 3 pin plug right was a pain, nearly went cross eyed lining up the holes for the pins, the extension bar was not so bad, as the plugs are just glued in place ( no pins)

Whilst rummaging ( you cant be innoculated against it :clown: ) I also came accross a broken dolls house chair.
the back was broken & the seat was loose, so first up superglue the seat back in place

Clamp chair to scrap of wood, file a small flat on each upright to give more area to glue to, place a thin bit of ply as a spacer so as . . .

The base the lean to is on represents a water storage tank, purposely built with its top 6 inches above ground to stop heavy vehicles being driven on to it, so a tank needs a vent

Re:Loads for wagons plus shed
A tank also requires a Personel Access Orifice, sorry tank cover :thinking:
So draw a square,centre out, get 2 washers, file a groove accross the diameter, glue a thin bit of styrene strip through, glue down to base, for the lifting handles, find some Slaters letters & make up the logo "water", could have done a foundry name, but did not bother.

Re:Loads for wagons plus shed
Cut a cover frame out, actually its also part of the lid, the inside was cut at an angle, & a line was scored around the middle to represent where the lid sits in the frame, the outside bit being the frame
