I worked on the shed again today. I started by wiring up all of the outside lights with their own fused switch, this was hard work with all of the cables being in the wall, but I got there in the end. I then mounted an old TV on the wall and put all of the cables in the wall for the clean look. I then added a new socket under the desk and made a mount to hold a mini PC which was wired up to the TV. The last job I did was to label the consumer unit and the switches.

Dad, Ethan, Thomas and I went to Ninja Warrior today. We had great fun trying to get across all of the courses and then we spent quite a bit of time in the inflatable area playing hide and seek.

Dad and I worked on the shed again today. We built a feature wall which turned out amazing. We then added skirting and architrave around the room in the same 6x1 that we used to clad the outside of the shed. I built a bench and Dad fitted the rest of the guttering. Its really coming together now.

In preparation for adding a feature wall in the shed, I collected enough wood that I could use to make a nice pattern and bought it inside the shed. I then planed the wood to remove the top layer and get down to the bare wood. I then stacked all of the wood with space between so it could dry out properly over the next week.

Today we went to Rebound Inflatable Park in Ashby-de-la-Zouch. We had great fun having races through a course of obstacles, sliding down the slides, climbing up walls and trying not to get knocked off by the rotating machine. We were there for an hour and were worn out after it.

This evening I wired up the sheds consumer unit to the power from the house and got everything working. It was great to have lights, sound and heat in there without the need for an extension lead back to the house.

I started wiring everything up today, I got all of the sockets cut out, back boxes in and the sockets wired up. I then did the same for the speakers and amp, heater and the thermostat and finally the lights.

To make the shed strong, I ordered some 2 inch thick x 200mm wide boards at 4.2m long as the flooring. Dad and I levelled up the floor and secured the 22mm under floor before putting down the new boards, fixing them together with biscuits and glue. We then screwed each board into the floor joists. In the afternoon we built a wall and added the shelving. Just before the end of the day I built a work bench.

Ethan and I were up and out early this morning to paint the inside of the shed. It took us a couple of hours and we got covered in paint splatter but it was good fun with the music on.

Dad and I worked on the shed today, insulating all of the walls and ceiling, we then boarded it all and filled any gaps with expanding foam. Its all starting to come together now.

We went out for dinner this evening with my parents and Grandma to Las Iguanas for a late birthday meal. It was great to see them and we had a really nice meal.
