Shedspace Theory anyone?

I need a Tardis for a shed. Or one with rubber walls.

Alex

What do you need then?

When you find one let us know because we want to order three.

I've got a pretty big shed - trouble is there ain't much room in it for tools - it's mostly taken up by seats inside and there's a big V8 under the bonnet.

Graeme

Range Shedder anyone?

know the feeling.

mind, right now I'd settle for a shed big enough to work on the vehicle in, and sufficiently devoid of tqt[1] to be able to get it in there.

Simone who I sit next to at work is having a loft conversion done starting this weekend. She's decided to project manage the whole thing herself. She asked my opinion on something yesterday. Part of the construction involves

The catch being, she'd overlooked the fact that she will need to drill 84

To cut a long story short she's spending £100 to hire a bench drill and I've offered to pop round and help, as I think she'll find it a bit hard going to try and manhandle the steel whilst drilling the holes, given the sheer size of the steel and number of holes.

I think she's learnt an important lesson in project management, and another one about having the right tools...

She's going to have to learn a bit about weightlifting too. That steel plate will be heavier than it looks.

No, she's learnt that it's a good idea to sit next to you at work :-)

Charlotte and I now have a 'good cop, bad cop' strategy for any form of 'project management'. She is all nice and girly, asking the right questions and clarifying the completion date. She'll then ask for firm confirmation of the completion date and look worried, very worried. When the inevitable question of 'why are you looking so worried?' is asked, she'll quietly mention my history of extreme, senseless and quite brutal violence toward the builder who took three days too long to complete the bathroom...

Can I give you the address of my plasterer?

Ahah. When I said "Mong me some fish, my good man" to the chap in Tesco's fishmonger section, he didn't quite appreciate what I was getting at.

Pah, the simpleton... Fancy being a professional monger and not even knowing how to mong....

Sounds like the builder might know a good one, legs and elbows a speciality...

Getting one for Christmas, 10'x14', a shade under £600. Not yer DIY Warehouse grade either.

I think Our Lass is trying to disguise it though because there is a 15 foot Toblerone under the tree...

I tried that line this afternoon, he disappeared out the back and was gone for a good 15 minutes...

What was the explanation for being three days late and what did you do to him?
