Interior cladding done. The downside of this is it's now a bit dark to work in until the lights are fitted!
Some of detail work is done, more to come.
Quite pleased with the cladding, it looks better than I thought it would.
A few bits of woodwork to finish off today, then I'll start wood staining the top half and painting the bottom

Cladding went on over the last few days. It's now done, but no pics of the finished article.
Light bulbs have finally arrived so I'll be able to take some interior pics at last. I really wanted to paint some of the interior panelling, but time has got the better of me so I've just stained it for now, I'll paint over it later.
Some final touches should be done in the next couple of days, just in time for Saturday.

Interesting but can't help feeling you've missed a trick by not putting insulation between the walls. it would keep it warmer/cooler and help keep down condensation
Considered that, but the extra cost wasn't worth it when it's never going to be slept in but used only for day times (and mostly in the summer).I'm planning on making another, this time for sleeping, and I'll definitely be insulating both the floor, walls and roof on that one.
Will be moving it later, hope nothing falls off!
If you're going to tow it with a car, the first place I would head is the weighbridge!
Looks really cool, but it must be far heavier than can be towed behind most stuff?
If it's just to sit in the garden for parties, it's great way of quickly getting a level base and making sure the shed doesn't rot away though.

Total weight is about 800Kg. I'll be using a Landcruiser. Moving it later today, pics in-situ to follow....Looks really cool, but it must be far heavier than can be towed behind most stuff?

Thinking about this thread earlier on and the fact that, like others started by the OP, it has again left us in the lurch with no conclusion, I have come to the conclusion that the contraption is an intergalactic transporter. My guess is that the OP has successfully launched the device into outer space but, as he has again failed to complete the project, is now unable to return.

Anyone here still care WTF this thing is? As someone said earlier, we can see what it is, it just remains for the OP to tell uthose who are still interested what he's using it for
Charming! 
The 'pub' was great a couple of weekends ago, it started raining a bit so loads of people dived in, and never left. Shoulder to shoulder and no room at the bar, it was great fun.
I was going to get some pics, but the inside looks a bit bare without any people, but I don't want to post pics with people in because I don't like plastering pics of friends and family on the internet....
Even now it's not really finished, it's just finished enough to use for what I wanted to use it for. I still need to do a bit of painting, sanding and finishing to round off the rough edges. This won't get done for a while because it got totally stuck in the field....
