Thanks Mark, I chuckle a bit, it's completely out of style with the house and garage but it's the style I would choose if I built a shack to live in on my imaginary off grid/self sufficient block of land, so it's a bit of a self indulgent project.
Costs... slab was $1000, and I'd guess the rest of materials like timber and screws might be around $1000, I even bought a new cordless drill for $200, so i'm guessing it might be a total of $2500 ? Still a fair bit of money, but as you say have saved a fair bit along the way. From the standard garden sheds I looked at I think a 5m x 3m shed may have cost me $3000 to $5000? (with a slab)
I wanted the big door space for good access, I plan to make double doors, timber frame with corrugated tin, one can be closed all the time and one used for access, and on Saturday morning I can open both a sit there with a coffee and watch the chickens
... I don't mind "sit down time" in the garden looking at how awesome everything is.
In my new workshop I plan to build bee hives, wakeskates (like a wakeboard with no boots) and old wooden signs.

You must be pretty satisfied with this build Stevo hey? Looks better than any kit shed on the market IMO.
