The summer house looks great - even though it is a bit yellow compared to our shed. I might have to stain it but I'll wait to see how dark it goes first. It was flourescent yellow when it went up last Thursday (15^th of July).

Here's a picture taken from outside the door looking in:

The inside walls will be pretty easy to insulate. On three of the walls the slats are approximately 1' apart. On the other wall, they are around 15" apart:

... but the support in the middle of the room is a little low (70.25" or 5' 10.25"):

They didn't put a basta lock on the front door and I can see why - it'll take a bit of lateral thinking to get one to fit. This is their idea of security - 1 philips screwdriver and 60 seconds is all you'd need to get in:

Dimensions:
The structure is 15' x 12' but there's a 3' veranda, leaving a 12' x 12' room.
One side interior wall is 139" x 70"
The other side is the same size but has two 2'² windows in it.
The back wall is 141.5" x 70"
The front is the same except for 2 windows (each 23"²) and the door (2' 5" x 5' 8")

Skirting board (including the bit that goes over the door): 697" (58' 1")

That leaves the roof which is a bit hard to explain so I think I'll use a diagram:
