The animals are lucky to have a shed devoted to themselves. They get peace and quiet! Its very creative, did you build it yourself?

Thanks all, I 'waste' many hours sitting watching everyone going about their business.

Bindi, there is a lock on the inside, just incase

I didn't build the actual shed itself, but fitted all of the inside.

It's only take me about 5 years to get to this point, it's been a very long term project!

Wish I had the room for a shed like that, not sure I'd fill it with torts, but loving the shed and well fitted out.

Thanks all!

This time of year heating can be fairly expensive. It is around £100 a month, which is obviously not just the cost of running the shed. I would have to look back at the bills to be exact, but I do now it has been less this year than the same time last year, which is odd as the price has remained the same and I have actually increased the number of lamps we have.

I did change the heating method, which may have helped. I find that the cost really balances out over the Summer as we use hardly any as almost everyone is outside and the electric heater is rarely if ever on, whereas now it is on almost 24/7.
