Sheds
Have just gone through exactly the same myself. Process went as follows

1.) Wanted a shed to put my tools in. Looked online to find some and got a quote for a new concrete base.
2.) Decided I could build the base myself for cheaper.
3.) Built the base myself more cheaply.
4.) Decided that a purchased shed wouldn't be quite right
5.) Spent the last 4 freezing weeks building the mother of all sheds (4m x 4m fully insulated, wired, heated and shelved) and had a great laugh with my old man doing it.
6.) Spent the last 5 weeks explaining to the girlfriend why I didn't just buy one and plonk it at the end of the garden as apparently its just a few bits of wood!
7.) Dont tell her but I have ordered a metal tool chest with slidey rubber-lined drawers... and am really quite excited about sorting all my tools, bolts and nuts into it this weekend :)
