I cannot confirm or deny said rumour :P

Boathouse, what boathouse?

Phase 1 of my shed pimping is complete. I've cleared out the shite and loaded it into the loft. The shed now contains my golf clubs, limited (but growing) collection of power tools, tent, gardening equipment (not much, since it's for bonsai) and a Keeley Hazell calendar.

A small workbench and some shelving, and I'm laughing.





Could probably do with getting it wired to the mains, though.

Does a Shed need to have windows to actually be a Shed? My 'Shed' has no windows.. Is it a Shed Walt?

mmmmmm










sheds


I've cleaned mine up a bit in readiness for autumn, but still made it 'dangerous' to the uninitiated, ie: the missus, who, bless her, forays in there once in a while, and then stuff lands on her, and then she doesn't for a bit.

But this isn't what this thread is about, it's the beautiful golden crowns above wooden trunks of ash, oak, maple and elm, stage-lit by a crisp automn sun. It's waiting for the first day of misty air in the morn, of the sound of crows, of walking amongst the piles of darkened and dried leaves on the grass, of seeing the moistening of the spider's web on brambles . . . . . and digging around in the shed for your wellingtons, and your pruners, and . . . .

I've been sitting reading this - while plucking up the courage to enter my shed and retrieve the hedge trimmers. A dangerous occupation indeed, had too much 'stuff' land on me I always suspected it was boobytrapped

It's not really booby-trapped - it's just that hand-eye co-ordination and spacial awareness, well . . . . . . it's a man-thing

You've been handycapped.

They have to pass my Shed Fitness Test.



So do the beetles and spiders and the feral cat who live in my shed.

Anybody else planting bulbs now? Daffodils and, er, things like that?

I was thinking of planting some tulips, normal and giant, next time I get a chance.
