Insulating and boarding a shed

Roy I'm just doing a quick video I've bought this shed from eBay I'll put the link to its from and it's a custom-made and it's a nine foot by 11 foot every Duty tantalized shed it seems pretty good pretty solid and I'm just doing a quick video on boarding the shed so what I decided today was so insulate the shared I'm going to put some electrics in the shed and board it and I thought I'd just do a quick video to show you but I've tray the shed first thinks it's quite solid custom-made double doors no I'm not a bad start bad shed and it was one thousand and forty pounds delivered and erected so I'll show you what I'm doing look so I'm boarding the sheds so what I've done I'm putting polystyrene in the walls now I've stood this polystyrene off off the walls with ease and there there Glaser's window shims I think a box of 500 now the boxes I don't know a box of 400 is about 5 quid or something like that so they're not very expensive and then the insulation I'm using this is with wicks insulation I'll show you that it's this stuff easy fit rafter insular insulation right and you get three bits in a pack and basically concertinas together so I'll show you this it's it's got marks down it and the idea is that you can compress it straight to fear so you can put one in and put another one in and then it holds when you want to cut trim it you can just trim it down the lengths I've been cutting it with a big butchers machete knife that's what I've been doing so I say I use these windows shims the idea being that it stands the insulation off the walls so you get a little bit of an air gap if you see down there you get like a five mil air which I thought was thought was a good idea now the board in I've been using I've got the boarding from wicks and it's really cheap and cheerful board the board is about five pound fifty a pack I think it is and that's from wicks tumbling growth board it's a bit laborious because obviously you get a thin strip like it comes like this it comes like this and it's tongues engraved and you just slot it together and now have it nail it down I'll show you the say the body looks like so it comes in a pack of five it's 1.8 meters long and it takes about five pound fifth day so that's what I've been using for me board and I've been attaching it to the walls I bought myself a I bought myself a screw fix nail gun that was about thirty quid and I've been using that to fix the balls to the walls other than that to fix me plastic shims on I've been using this stuff gonna nail I've been using that that's from tool station that's about to quit - all right so I'm gonna do the video in probably three parts but I just thought I'd show you where I'm at and then I'll carry on with the next one when it's probably when it's boarded and then when I put the electrics in okay Cheers
