Those are nicely weathered Steve. Weathering is one of those things where one needs to know when to stop.

Slips off ladder : 1
Hammer meets thumb : 2
Trips to A&E : 0

I hope you are referring to the shed!!!! :o

Assuming you are - it’s 3.4m x 2.4m

I built it about 15 years ago from scratch - 3x2 framing with T&G boarding. Unfortunately some of that is showing its age where it has shrunk - needs to be taken off and rehung.

I know what you are referring to. :)

Actually it’s my ‘workshop’ shed that I have been working on - I’m lucky enough to have another one dedicated to the railway that’s only about 5 years old. I’m planning on refelting that one next year.
