Whats in Your Shed

[moonbells]

My shed's a bit like Baggy's: plant pots, few ancient seeds, some broom handles (local factory makes 'em and they're great for supports, though only last a year before they rot), chickenwire (Chris's), netting, an old chair that I fell through so is currently needing its base repairing, a sack of 6X, some lethal comfrey tea (is Diesel still about? I never managed to send some to him and it's still waiting in a little bottle),  seaweed manure, Bordeaux mixture, BF&B, a couple of tesco's witches brooms which are actually rather useful, a first aid kit, an old mug, teabags and a ball of string. No tools or anything valuable as the shed isn't lockable.

At the moment I am filled with good intentions for our shed.  'A place for everything and everything in it's place' sort of thing. But because I know myself very well  ::), that will only last about 5 minutes  ;D  ;D.  It's very small 6' x 4' and given to use for free.

My shed has Spiders, Thousands of Mice Nests :), had 2 birds nests this year one robin and one wrens nest. They all fledged happily and saftley :). My canes for my beans and that is it. I never keep anything of value in my shed as it gets broken into atleast twice a month sometimes. So there is nothing for any person the pinch.

What is it about sheds? I've absolutely loved reading this thread  :D .  My first shed experience was my Grandma's. It smelled of soil and creosote. It was like a little Aladdin's den full of allsorts of curious things. It was dead neat and tidy and I only got to go in there on few and far between occasions. The smell of it I'll never forget...I adore the smell of creosote and much to my delight I adored it even more when I was preggas. Haha. I longed for wet days so I could sniff the air!  Its supposed to be carcinogenic isn't it? Well I wonder if they could bottle the aroma for me?

Heres some pics.

The first is what's inside shed no 1 in my back garden. His Shed.  The second is the inside of shed no 2. My shed. Looks quite tidy for me. I's full of holes spiders, mice,bird food scooters,footballs,basket balls and my gardening stuff.

The last pic is of my shed on the allotment.  It has many many things in of which I haven't a clue what they are. It also has masses of wood,potty,bog roll,baby wipes.a collection of spades. some 29p Asda trowels and forks,rubber gloves,antibac washing up liquid,hay bale,bags of sawdust.foldy chairs and six hens.  There bit has been fashioned out of where the pigeons used to be kept. They are getting an extention as soon as the piles of wood can be moved.

Note to self ...There is an extreme lack of tea making facilities...must rectify AT ONCE !

Shed?  shed?  S.H.E.D.     Nope,  wots one of them then   ;D

Would be nice but we have to apply to the council to get one and I manage without.  Did get a little damp last weekend trying to shelter from a downpour on the leeward side of the compost heap.  In case you're wondering its not very effective!    :-\

If I had a shed that size I'd put it to other uses.

Just had a thought ( Dangerous) Before the move... Whats in your Shed.......Last year it was mostly Burglars and Thieves??????????

[GREENWIZARD]

my shed was liberated from the weans this summer ;D
unfortunately she's leaking :( :( ~hope to fix her up soon  ;) :)

[undercarriage plan]

Wow, GW!! Am very jealous!! My shed at home is tiny!! bout 2ft depth, and width, 6ft tall!!! OH has entire garage!! Looks like loo.... ::) the one at lottie is very similar to Wardy's and is full of everything!! Tools, fleeces, canes,lawn mower, barbeque, rotting onions til few hours ago, and every earwig ever born!! And when open door, they fall on my head....which results in pelting round plot at amazing speed whilst pulling hair out!!
Lottie  ;D

[GREENWIZARD]

you couldn't fit an oxo in my shed L ;D

Pete

That really made me laugh! Ta ;D You've set me off now so I'll want fish n chips at the plot again tomorrow. Saturday is dangerous as husband goes to footy and leaves me to my own devices which, if good weather, will bring out me urge to follow nose to chippo ;D

Funny that, Saturdays are usually dangerous for me as regards the chippy. Mon to Friday we eat 'healthily' then every other Saturday I jump in the car and head back to Oldham to watch the Latics.
I can't resist having a Hollands pudding, chips and gravy while I'm there. If you ask for a steak and kidney puddin' in Lincoln you get strange looks (well, more than usual that is)

[redimp]

More pubs per person than any other place in Britain in Louth Wardy - don't get too distracted.

Watched England beat Germany in a pub in Louth  ;D (Sorry Blight)

PS Pete - it's a steak and kidley pie here mate.

[Heldi]

Pete I've been peeing myself laughing at what you've done to my shed!! It's fab.  ;D  ;D

Yes folks ,it's all mine.  :) It has a work bench complete with vice and everything. The bit selling the fish and chips and the mushy peas was where the pigeons were kept. Twas easy to move the hens in as it was sectioned off with sliding louvre doors....they live behind where the mushy peas sign is.  We are going to extent the hens chambers in the near future to take up the rest if the old pigeon loft. Deluxe accommodation.  They'll have nesting boxes behind the fish and chips bit whilst retaining their perching area behind the mushy peas.

Looks a bit different now at the front because there is a hen run and I've cleared away most of the grass to reveal some paving which is where I sit watching the chooks when I can't be arsed to do anything.  South facing it is.

What this place needs is a curry house. Could you see it? Has anyone ever had a flock wallpapered shed?

Today I showed my nephew around my shed today, well we opened the door and he looked in.  He thought it was great.  He's building a wind turbine, a small one, just for the sake of it.  I asked him if it would generate enough electricity for me to make a cup of tea in my shed, all I got from him was a laugh.  Not sure if a wind turbines are allowed on allotments. ::)

[redimp]

If they are not then they bloody well should be - ask Emmalou whether they are allowed on hers as she is becoming the expert on what is and isn't and how to get round it if it isn't.

[Lily]

He's very inventive, my nephew, only 18yrs old. 

He recently spent 6 months in a remote part of Northern Scotland as a trainee instructor for an outward bound centre.  One of his first tasks was to sail, alone, to a remote island and fend for himself.  Then he had to persuade others (as a team building exercise) to do the same.  Companies paid to go to this centre!!  He really enjoyed it. 

Wardy - I'll put the idea to him for a composting lavvy  ;D and see what he comes up with, I'm sure he'll just laugh at me, thinking I'm his eccentric Aunt with an allotment.  ;D  ;D  ;D
