Getting set up.

My shed arrived late yesterday afternoon, now I know what I'll be doing this weekend. The box it came in is about 2m long but only about 40cm wide and 30cm deep. That means that to make the shed look like the picture each door and the panels either side of the door must be two or three narrow panels screwed together, so eight to twelve panels each side and the roof would be the same. I've purchased a floor for the shed too, that just is the steel frame for the floor, I'll have to go and buy some plywood sheets to put on top of that for the floor. I probably have to buy some more shelving too as if I move the old shed shelves out of the garage I'll need to buy more for the garage. I just need to work out what sort of shelving is best.
Once the shed is sorted I can start looking at setting up the home brew area in the garage. This I'm a little excited about but I do think that the garage is going to be too warm in summer and too cold in winter unless I insulate the garage door. Thankfully there is a pretty easy polystyrene solution for that but I'm not so sure on the price. We've got 20 panels on the door and the standard kit is about $800. That's a lot. I want to look at alternate options that are cheaper, I can't see how one sheet of polystyrene could cost $40 considering it is usually a waste product used for packaging TVs and nearly every other electrical product and is thrown out. A $5 kettle from Kmart would come with $5 worth of packaging if it really costs that much. Yes quality is a consideration but I'm sure that if you buy a garage specific foam panel it will cost more than a generic foam panel.

I'd hate to add up the actual cost of moving house.
