Hi All,
I’m in the planning phase of my new Shed to Office project. I have been given a shed by my father in law (see attached photos). This shed is old school and have been in place since about the late 50`s / early 60`s and I have to say it is absolutely solid!
Now, I am no DIY expert and this will be my first attempt at a project of this size. We are currently disassembling the Shed for transport to my house. The idea is to split the shed into an office and a bar.. I have been doing my research and am starting to build up a plan of how I want the finished product to look inside. As a basic overview the interior will be lined with a damp proof membrane and then insulate, electric cabling installed and then boarded out. The windows will be replaced with double glazed windows (this is only a plan and I still need to price this up). The shed has a side entrance and this will be closed off and a double door install on the front (also considering a double glazing)
I would really appreciate some advice though to aid my planning..
Ill carry on adding to this thread as the project develops and hopefully be a good aid for future projects.

- I have done a lot of reading with regards to insulation and have also done several trips to various DIY stores… To be honest, I have no bloody idea what type of insulation would be best? Ideally something that would not only insulate but also help with preventing damp. Anny suggestions?
- As I will have a lot of electric equipment in the Shed, I will need to have some form of ventilation in the shed. How would you suggest ventilating the structure?
