Here's what we started with (Dave has already put down insulation, and a support grid for radiant heating)	The foam is salvaged pieces of ICF	We're using the shed for storage right now, but we're planning on heating it for use as a potting shed and workshop later on	The roof was rusted but the framing was mostly fine
The siding was hand-cut poplar planks, many years old, leaky and rotting	The windows were mostly broken out	See the gaps in the siding?	It was a nice grey on the outside, though
Dave put on a new standing seam metal roof	Dave put on a new standing seam metal roof	Dave put on a new standing seam metal roof	Dave put on a new standing seam metal roof

We're going to see if the roof can provide solar heat for the in-floor piping	Next the OSB went up	Next the OSB went up	Next the OSB went up

Dave framed the doors out of OSB and 2x4's	Dave framed the doors out of OSB and 2x4's	We put salvaged Hardiplank on the outside	We put salvaged Hardiplank on the outside
We put salvaged Hardiplank on the outside	Putting it in perspective	To let plenty of light in, we put Plexiglass under the eaves	To let plenty of light in, we put Plexiglass under the eaves
And, of course, by "we" I mean "Dave" (but it was my idea!)	What shall we do with the inside??	Let's put in nice new windows...	Look - the industrial foam makes great insulation and covers up the nails that stick out!
It only took an afternoon (with Jim and Randy and Sandy helping!!)	Now it looks like an inside-out Tudor cottage!	It's not all pretty, but it's nice and cozy!
