Looking good Andy, however make sure you fill the gaps with sealent or caulk as seed will go down and encourage critters, will also go off and if birds eat any could make them ill, not teaching you to suck eggs trying to be helpful, the shed door looks close as well does it open ok lol lol lol

I have got some sealer so will do that. 👍. The shed door does open ok but a bit tight after half open. I will have to see what happens if it swells when wet. May need a bit of adjustment.
RE the door that was my thinking when swells, also instead of sealent you could run a strip of wood along the front and seal it that way, another thing when you fix floor down use sealent under it instead of nailing it down, is the ply the thin stuff as it looks it?

That plywood looks different to what we get down under. We get pine plywood, while I suspect that is birch?
In any case, I would be getting that drinker off the floor.
I don't care what the marketing says, plywood does not like getting wet, as I have found to my cost before. :evil:
Have to agree with that
