your shed is very much like my except mine just had a single door... iam well pleased with the quality of mine for the price and if i can i will take on the advice about flooring... iam inclined to say the rest of the world as the shed looks perfect..plus the earth does have that tilt thingy going on :-D

The 'Tilt thing' of the planet must excuse all 'wonkiness' !

I agree with you :o)
In my previous house I fitted a worktop in the kitchen, and it was perfectly level.... however, it looked as if it was sloping.
Truth was the floor sloped, so the worktop (being the only level thing in the house) looked out of place.
So I took it off, and re-placed it at a slope. Then the kitchen looked perfect ! :D

it is so often the case with some old houses that were built way back (not that yours was Hywel) that floors etc un-level :-) well many reason really :-) in the case of the shed my son and i erected its "wonkiness" is a optical illusions ;-D thats my excuse Jbardet/Hywel

Hywel/Marybells,
I agree that the camera often 'lies' where vertical lines are concerned but sometimes compensations have to be made when 'marrying-in' the old with the new. However, keep a close eye on that mug of coffee, Hywel!

My shed-build went like a treat until........the roof-fitting operation. Trying to be clever (bad idea), I decided to attempt to raise & position the whole roof, with my son kindly lending a hand. We soon realised that the roof was too heavy/awkward for this idea and the positioning was tight as well as the fact that it was 'peeing down'. Ever the comedian, my son made some comment about 'the opening sequence from an episode of 'Caualty". With one foot precariously on the step-ladder and one knee on the roof of the log-store at this moment, `I temporarily lost the plot and an un-scheduled lurch caused the roof-felt to tear, which was just what I had dreaded.
Plan 'B' involved removing the middle section of felt, fitting the roof sensibly (in 2 sections) & replacing/repairing the felt........Job Done.....'sigh'!
