My shed conversion was really a total lack of skill resulting in a delay of nearly 2 years! In the end, another local member (AndrewJ) packed up tools and came to my place to help out. It's a pretty simple design using a standard garden shed. The advantage I had was that one side of the shed is right up against our garage wall, so there was somewhere easy to put the guide rails. The other front corner is propped up when open by a post, which keeps things neat when it is closed.
Outside the shed itself (which I had already), it cost about $400 in bits of wood, screws etc, and the rails and wheels (from a garage door place).
It makes such a huge difference. Only problem is that all the stuff that was in the shed (that I had somehow thought would all fit back in there), is now sitting in the garage - the wife has been relegated to the driveway, but I don't think that's going to last too long.
Next plan is for a pier, so there is a bit more wiggle room in there without having to trip over the tripod. If you can do it, at all, it really, REALLY makes life a whole lot easier.
