11th Anniversary of the birth of the Man Cave

Afternoon #WarHamFam and #WarhammerCommunity I've had my man cave for 11 years now, it was originally installed on 27th July 2015. 

I had hoped to have repainted it this year, it's been 6 years since it's last coat of Protek Cornish Cream -  Royal Exterior Paint. It is just about to start showing its age with expansion/contraction of a natural wood building, where moisture is being absorbed and evaporated eventually the paint is going to crack in places and wood sap leak through. But otherwise it's an amazing product because it is water repellent, while still being breathable. And that's repellent, not 'waterproof' - the water just beads of it. At £80 for a 5 litre tin it is not cheap [I think it was about £56 when I bought it last time] but that will work out at £16 per year [£1.33 a month] for protection on a 5 year cycle.

Anyway, I have a new tin. I've got a new sander to prepare the shed beforehand and a weeks holiday to do it in. Hopefully the next heatwave won't coincide with that window of opportunity. And I can get two or three coats of paint on it for another 5 year's of protection. Bearing in mind Solid Sheds estimate a 15 year lifespan I need to do everything I can to try and extend this. I've obviously done upgrades:

• Magnetic fly screen
• Insulated floor and carpet [which has definitely made a difference] 
• Anti-mould paint
• Cromapol [resign/fibreglass] roof paint
• Door lock

But I just want it to have a much fuller life, maybe a tidy up would help... Anyway, I'll have some painting updates in a few weeks or so. But for now - happy birthday 40kaddict towers.
