Have you checked the price of polycarb lately? Your going to need good stuff on the roof, to support snow when it comes. Its eye wateringly expensive. Triwall is reasonably insulating, but not as good as a couple of inches of kingspan or fibreglass.

I'd say put a solid roof on, out of corrogated, or whatever, and insulate it well.
I painted the inside of my shed with very bright white kitchen and bathroom paint. The difference it makes to the light is unbelievable, its like having another striplight in there.

By insulating the roof, it will make it a lot nicer to work in when it is pouring with rain. You will need earplugs under polycarb, coz of the racket it makes.

If you rgoing to put a concrete floor in, yu may as well put two inches of kingspan under the concrete. it will make a huge difference.

Mate, like your thinking on the kingspan (got to buy it for the extension anyway).  Ref the polycarb sheet, I've got a fair bit as I had bought a conservatory, but changed my mind and went for an extension instead (footings 1.6mtr deep and under building control), So I decided to use the conservatory in the shed build.

A fridge freezer for cooling samples, milk for the tea, and beer.

Drainage for the sink could be done with a pump and some pipe back to the garage/house.

Any excuse for buying another pump eh Mark? :)

I had a microwave in my shed for heating samples but to be honest it hardly ever got used.  I donated it to Chug's BBB 2011 as a pastie heater instead.  (Cleaned it first!)

I'm not a pumpofile, no, I'm not.

I managed to sublunary convince Julian to donate my one for just that job,
but the same method didn't work for getting my hands on Heater.

She hasn't even started yet!  She's waiting for the new square processor to be built before she leaps into action. Problem is the new squrae processor is looking like it might take as long to build as the extension!

In other words, the new square processor will be a pile of rust by the time you're ready to start building it.

So why don't you free up some room and let me look after Heather for you until you're ready for her.

I'm struggling with the logic there!
