    Ditto. For those of us who like doing work outside, it's essential to have somewhere to store outside tools!

    from what i can gather...canadians keep garden tools,shovels....maybe the lawn mower in these sheds

    down in dixieland they apparently make their house guests sleep in the shed...this seems strange to me...i let my house guests sleep inside the house:)


    people with many house guests build a ''bunkie'' which is a tiny cottage

    i am building a bunky to banish my son to

    i actually have 2 drive sheds on the perimeter of my property that belong to the farmer...they are both full of old farm crap and a rusted out mecedes sedan...they are at least 50 years old and very rustic looking

    and badley...this is not the chat thread...do i really need to remind you of that again?
    i will not hesitate to go over your head...to your mom in the kitchen over your bedroom:)

    Yeah, that's confusing. It's either a shed or a guesthouse.
    Guests sleep in the house!

    My Shed Is A Shipping Container

    Which I Have Painted, Plumbed,

    Wired, Multiple Compressed Air Outlets, Fitted Steel Shelving, Steel Workbenches,

    Heating, Cooling, Double Tube Flouro Lighting, TV Suspended From The Roof With A Swivel

    Mount, CD FM Stereo, Whirly Bird In Which I Inserted An Exhaust Fan For

    Ventilation In Calm Weather..etc etc.:).

    I Can Do Everything In There Like Drilling, Milling, Metal Polishing, Pressing

    But I Need To Step Outside To Do Serious Welding, All Those Sparkes Flying

    Around Are Just Too Much Of A Fire Risk.

    I Love My Shed...:love:



    Cheers Glen.

    THAT'S why I need a shed!

    Funny you should say that about your shed being a container Glen,coz I was at Alconbury truckstop a few weeks ago and Frank,who runs the truckwash showed me how he's getting along with his.
    I knew he was making up temp accommodation out of a container-but behind the truckwash are hidden 2 double-stacked 40' containers in which he's installed everything a house would have. Shower,tv room,kitchen,bedrooms[two]dining room-even windows. Bloody amazing-he's even got fake beams running across the ceiling,a fireplace[gas] and every room has 13 amp powerpoints.
    That is a cracking bit of work Frank's done there.

    A Few Years Back They Started Converting Them For

    Accomodation For Students In The Docklands Area Of The UK, I Don't

    Know Wether The Program Is Still Going, But Unless You Noticed The

    Ribs On The Outside You Would Never Know What They Were Originally..:).



    Cheers Glen.
