RMweb Premium New Haven Neil Posted March 3, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 3, 2023 Looks like 49 has been doing some work, she's getting a little dirty now, still a work in progress though. The Peckett too, since it was borrowed on its way back to Cardiff after overhaul. 19 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just an opinion, but HH's offer of an OO-scale shed (he denies Z-scale) may be better in all ways (including shipping) than that one. 6 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winslow Boy Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 (edited) This is like being on a rollercoaster. Somebody posts a picture of their wonderful shed then another person well you get the drift. It is not doing me any good at all and the so called medical intervention isn't helping either. If it carries on like this then I might even be forced to lay some track to be housed in the shed - nothing else of course because that would be taking things just a bit to far.

Which is tragic, as no citizen of TNM should be without a shed (it’s in the constitution or summat). I had a chat with some literary friends who were happy to donate examples of their work to raise money for SHED AID. So coming to a bookstore near you (and available online) is. A Pome About A Shed and Other Literary Devices (for SHED AID) Here’s a sample: The stately sheds of England, How beautiful they stand! Amidst their tall ancestral trees, O’er all the pleasant land.

That looks in better condition than my shed. I think the only thing holding mine together is the ivy that almost surrounds it. Fear not, I think in the 22 years I've been here (shudder, where did the time go), I've only had the door open twice. Adrian 7 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SM42 Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 (edited) Frantic cleaning and tidying by hiding things in cupboards is going on at SM42 Towers, even at this late hour, as visitors are expected tomorrow till Sunday. Work is starting on the garden too with foundations for a new wall being dug out and a foundation poured. All this tidying is all I need after a 12 hour shift, so having done the vacuuming I have declared my tasks complete and am taking beer therapy.

RMweb Gold Tony_S Posted March 3, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted March 3, 2023 We enjoyed our trip to Cambridge yesterday so Aditi thought we could explore somewhere locally today and walk about a bit. We started with a pub lunch and went for a walk afterwards. We would probably have shocked other posters on this thread as we declined the dessert menu. I wasn’t sure if the pub would still be serving food as we arrived at 2pm but they were. Aditi was hoping to see some interesting bird life as we wandered through the woods afterwards but had to be satisfied with a crow and a robin.

RMweb Premium TheQ Posted March 4, 2023 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 4, 2023 Jamie points out the legalities of French sheds, most of the sheds in the UK are ilegal because the laws say no construction of buildings with majority flammable materials within 2 Metres of a boundary, and almost everyone tucks them into a corner... Our mobile home isn't a workshop, it's meant to be a mobile home used by visitors. However it is full of weaving equipment being used by SWMBO until the loom shed is completed. A mobile home would make a good workshop / layout room, providing your equipment isn't too heavy. If you can get round the planning rules, and get it into the garden they are very cheap secondhand. 6 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SM42 Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 Interesting article fron thr Grauniad has popped up on the front page of a popular internet search engine. The basic outline is that striving for perfection in our hobbies ruins them. We should enjoy the process and not be concerned with failure or shortcomings. It is supposed to be fun, not work. Now I don't know about the rest of you, but I like to get to a reasonable standard in any hobby pursuit otherwise I just find it overwhelmingly frustrating. I can take the initial frustration of trying to get to that reasonable standard but beyond that I am happy to be average. I do find being average annoying at times though and yearn occasionally for fluked perfection. Andy 1 5 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
