Coolio. Didn't know you got yours so recently. Door open outwards? Shape of roof? Overall aesthetic of shed?

Mine was pre-treated, but obviously I've yet to see what the waterproofing is like both from underneath and from above.

It's real glass in the windows too. I thought it would be plastic.

I love every last hinge, nail, grain of wood and knot hole. Don't need owt for Chrimble now.

Only 4 feet high and 7 feet long with a flat sloping roof and outward opening door. No windows for extra security. I also got mine pre-treated too but it turned out to be a fluorescent green so I stained it black to blend in with its surroundings more. Looks cosy inside, which is just as well as I may be sleeping in there after the PoL night out!

WRONG!

I know one lady at least in Portobello who has a shed in her garden

The one right at the bottom is my exact model. Mine isn't blue though.

ok Porty no comments please!

My dad had this shed while we were growing up and I have fond memories of tidying the shed out, playing in it with my friends and just being kids. Ah sheds are great

Yes, Sandra, Cleopas is so wrong when he said that sheds are not for women

I know a few women who love their sheds or huts or outhouses. I can assure you that if I could squeeze into mine I would spend many a happy hour in there.

Bow down before my stone-walled, slate mono-pitched, cobweb windowed, flaky-paint doored sanctuary...

Looks a bit more 'garage like' than 'shed like' there Mr. M

I like Mr Magnolia's shed ... full of stuff to root around with for hours on end! Though perhaps a change of name to Steptoe would be more appropriate for you, Mr M??

You could always paint it to look like 'the tardis'

You'll need to come on the POL Xmas night out Mr M. You and Homer would enjoy talking about bikes.......

How do you know Mr BM and I are into cycling? Have I mentioned it before? Or am I bit slow about something?

IMHO has to have a power supply, a telly, a sofa and scarves/shirts/helmets/hockey sticks/whatever from your favourite sports team.

If you have the space some woodworking tools wouldn't go amiss

Ours is full of onions, potatoes and carrots (piccy to follow eventually) - organically grown by Mr E's fair hands and hidiing behind a layer of cardboard. Apparently the light is bad for them but our new neighbours think we're hiding illegal immigrants.......

Cleopas · Post by **Cleopas** » 09 Dec 2006, 09:47

You get that too, Epykat??

As soon as my family knew I had a spare room, I got all the old jokes about renting it out to two dozen Poles or Lithuanians ... although when I was a kid, it was Indians or Pakistani ... good to know we've moved from racist jokes against "people of colour"!

One hopes all of your sheds are note being illegally rented out!

Seem to remember a photo of you on a bike BM

Mind you, I was really passing comment on the number of bikes and bike frames etc. that Mr Magnolia has.

Here is a picture of my two sheds, little and large

I used to only have the big one but my son wanted it to build bikes and stuff. I don't really use it much as I have the garage, so that is why I bought the small one next to it.

The kids recently bought me a bike for my birthday and I'm keeping it in the big one until the summer(it's the one on the right hand side).

Cleopas · Post by **Cleopas** » 09 Dec 2006, 17:29

Very nice sheds ... but you forgot to mention the tiny wee one hanging on the big one. For beetles and spiders??
