    Cheers mate! I’m a retired Canadian sailor living in America at the moment. I myself built a 10‘ x 10‘ man shed/garden pub, and the funny thing is it’s laid out exactly like yours! I love it it’s been great and my friends love it too, keep on keeping on! I recently lost my right leg, and I’m happy to say that I’m able to get in and out of my man cave in a wheelchair and still have friends over! Keep it up!

    This might give you a chuckle, I was watching your "Alexa" video and every time you asked your Alexa to do something, mine answered your question, was quite funny lol.

      Yes. Had new kitchen so had to have a new consumer unit. Then electrician came back and did the external cable above ground to the cabin. And a small consumer unit for sheds in the corner. I put in all sockets that we both agreed on, he checked them and got it signed off etc. You'll be plenty of double sockets. Think of where all your stuff is going. Then get a nice lot on a ring main.

    Good tips there m8. Mine is up on flagstones , but I have a hedgehog living underneath it, so there are leaves etc, I dont want to disturb the thing. I made the mistake of getting mine right up to the fence and it's too big to move now, it's been up 10 years and it seems ok. Regarding insulation, I'm the same as you I did the ceiling properly but the walls are all double boarded but insulated in parts, I dont think that's such a bad thing as if you over insulate, you can cause the shed to sweat. Mine is more of a little military museum, but I have a bar, fridge and tv. If I had my time over again I would of done it differently, I did get proper electrics put in, and the only power on when I'm not in it is the fridge and through winter a small oil filled radiator on low which helps circulate the air and isnt that expensive to run. All in know is all the gear I have wouldn't be allowed in the house by my wife...cheers 🙂🙂
