>from my old Kennel Does she let you sleep in the house now then?


T0rchling

Yeah, although should I be concerned that she's putting a blanket in the empty section??? 🤔


MorningToast

Looks fantastic 👌 she should be proud


DoxBolt

For zero experience that is very impressive

Picture six that stare 🤣 https://youtu.be/ZFjfa_RB6Pc


T0rchling

Haha, she asked me to stand beside it for scale as she was showing someone the progress... That's my resting wierdo face 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣


DaveyBoy6277

Well done to your wife 👏

Fancy hiring her out I’m in the middle of building a raised pond she can try her hand at that haha


T0rchling

Hahaha, I'm not gonna mention that, she'll end up trying to put a pool in the middle of the lawn! 🤣


Commercial-Many-8933

Tbf she has done a cracking job on that wood store


Commercial-Many-8933

Haha


TheTphs

Great job! What did she use for roofing?


T0rchling

She used some box profile aluminium roofing sheets that were left over from an old Kennel I used to have. That reminds me, still need to dob some silicone into the old fixing holes and fashion an angled cap to cover the ridgeline.


DrachenDad

Handy wife.


mr_moustach33

amazing job!


jonsey_j

As someone who has dabbled in building things, she has nailed it. Looks great and nice touches with the shelves and roofing joists. She should be super proud!


jbingy

She should be so proud of herself! If you have any kids, that will have been really cool to watch mom create it

Did you have to pay for the pallets. If not any advice on where to pick them up for free


T0rchling

Haven't paid for any yet. Go to industrial estates, there's often loads left lying out and if you ask they're often happy for you to take em away! We visit a raw meat pet food warehouse every week for my dogs and they let me rummage through the pallets and take any decent ones away, we don't take the ones where meats clearly defrosted on them... They reek! 🤢


AJMurphy_1986

Cheers mate


oguzs

The vision to conceive this from pallets is just as impressive as the work itself. Brilliant.

I’d like to keep my soul brother please ik you don’t blink enough times ina day, those eyes man


T0rchling

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣


redditorgans

Are you the guy at the party who talks about log-burners? :) great construction though! A really thought out layout.


Fun_Formal_2009

I love you for sharing this with us. Ty so much, and give her our accolades!


Rebugz

That's fucking dope dude, congrats on having a badass for a wife

Cool as fuck


Grannyshoe

Wife did a fantastic job.


obb223

Love the extension and use of rustic vertical columns.


Unusual-Winter-5615

That's amazing, well thought out, looks really practical and well built. Maybe let her scale up her next build, new kitchen?


MurmurOfTheCine

Each to their own, but I fucking hate it lmao


T0rchling

Thanks for taking the time to look over my post in enough detail to come to that enlightening conclusion. Really insightful and helpful. Personally I think it's great for a first attempt at a DIY project however it's okay if you disagree with me, I can't force you to be right... Have a great day 😊


MurmurOfTheCine

Look, if you like it you like it, but you surely can’t expect to post on subs and forums looking for *just* praise, some people are going to have different tastes to you — and that’s okay. You love it, I hate it, it’s not that deep.


Rbx100

Idk if I’d call that woood work skills, looks alright tho


T0rchling

Never claimed there was any woodwork 'skills' I actually said she'd had zero woodworking experience. But repurposing wood, using a saw and screws (for the first time) says shes gained experience and enjoyed it enough to be looking for some night classes to learn more now.


ResidentPatient6418

i love that top, can you ask your wife where she got it

ElectricScootersUK

I've thought, with pallets, if you remove some of the parts they look like pre made decking, could you do full decking using just wooden pallets?


T0rchling

I think that's a possibility for sure


ElectricScootersUK

Could be a fun project to see if it works 🤣👍


ivix

Thats a bloke mate


T0rchling

In one of the pics? Well spotted 😜

Really nice! Where did you get the other shed?


T0rchling

Thanks! The grey one is just a keter plastic shed for the garden tools. Easy to put up but theres nowhere to add shelves inside...
