Just a humble 10ft by 8ft wooden shed, £550 bought online and delivered.  I got rid of the concrete and asbestos garage at the bottom of the garden and with the help of Bob Cookson, erected it on legs to avoid flooding.  I didn`t put in a mains supply and instead plumped for solar power.  A £200 28W panel from Maplin, a couple of car batteries  and a controller was all I needed.  From this I run a car stereo feeding two bookshelf speakers, various LED lights and a window fan.  My brother-in-law Steve made me a meths burner and this fits perfectly into an old stove that Johnny gave me.  

You can see the horrible garage at the bottom of the garden that made room for the shed.

Newly erected by myself and Mr Cookson.
