The shack is looking good there Alan, but tinted windows is very "pimp my ride"

Nice setup mate

Hopefully Wayne.
Just got the inside to buy now but with the 4 extra panels i will put them inside and insulate with loft stuff just kingspan for the ends and roof to buy.
Going to get the timber priced up today and delivered asap.

Getting there but slowly in my case.

Last pic is 2 set's of draws so will try to keep the shack tidy.

That's coming along nicely Alan. All that space.....

Pictures make it look bigger than it is at 8x6.

All looking good there Alan mate and very well done with all your hard work.  

Won't be long before you get setup and out from under the station managers feet.


Thanks for sharing with the Charlie Tango community at large, always good to see a bigger project coming together in the never ending quest to enjoy radio. It's gonna be a great shack!

Bit of an update.
Carpet tiles down.
2 Sets of draws put together so i can hide things as well as junk lol.

That’s exceptionally nice Alan I wouldn’t mind something like that myself haha.

Getting there slowly but being disabled it's crippling me so have to have day's off the job.
Electrics is next and i will have to go up in the loft not looking forward to that lol. 
Tomorrow i hope to get the plug sockets in and the lighting up easy bits first then the loft last.

You’ll get it done matey looks great so far

Well long awaited update lol.
Had several days when i couldn't move lol but that is how it is for me does my head in.
But have done a bit and now have power was dreading that job but got there yesterday and had to test it out with a power supply (got several) well anything would have done but it's a start of the radio gear move. 

Wow - your shed build looks great

I have something similar - one thickness of old breeze blocks. No insulation at all.
Any suggestions from anyone please

Forgot to add the power supply is a 60amp terminals at the rear.
Just 5a from the front.

A proper job that!!

Thanks.
Taking me some time but getting there.
Gave the tops there last coat of varnish yesterday afternoon and out this morning so it should be nice and dry/hard by tomorrow.
Then it is coax time bought a 100m of it and new plugs save me some messing well it will be quicker.

Good Work Alan.
So when do you move in?

Needs a hammock or fold down camp bed in there for all night sessions, plus a fridge, wine cooler, kettle, coffee machine, plumbed water, drain, microwave...

Linda did say she would get me a hammock.
Tassimo machine maybe lol.

Well we have life in the new shack.
Power ready for the big move.

Must do a better job on the red/black well blue at the moment but going to print out some red/black discs on sticky back paper to tidy that bit up.
Connecting cable is the same as used on a cooker so should be enough ??.

Well done with all your hard work there Alan.  

Been really great seeing your shack all come together and once those radios are in there it'll all come to life.
You could do a line from my namesake 'Victor Frankenstein' as his monster rises with "It's Alive! It's Alive!".

Wouldn't worry about details like the power supply.....it's only you that needs to know. (Does make for a nicer QRZ picture though.)

I know what you're currently missing......he says as the kettle pops off and reaches into the mini fridge to make yet another brew....


Mind you, I had to dig past crap that I've accumulated and a couple of handhelds radios to get to the fridge!!


Well done mate, you should be suitably proud and looking forward to the final touches such as radio(s) installation.

Victor
Study the top picture.
Under the monitor in use you can see a red looking object ?.
That is Alexa i just ask her for a coffee and Linda pops in the door not long after with a mug in her hand lol.
She would tip it over me if i did that but i do have this thing of calling her on it and asking her if she want's a brew it works better than asking for one for me and a lot safer.
Might just put the old tassimo machine in there.

Ah, you lucky sod.  

My Teresa is a bit of a camel when it comes to water intake only having a cuppa in the morning and one when she gets home from work.......and I make both of those buggers!

I need the fridge and kettle for my own daily 20 cup habit.
(Plus they're both in arms reach which is handy for the old leg.....til I need to empty!)

I've got an Alexa in the shack and one down stairs and only made the mistake of calling downstairs on it once.
