Back in the summer I molished a garden storage device from scratch, I think it looks rather spiffing and am most pleased by the way it turned out. I suppose for the purists it's more of a BBQ shack, but seeing as I've not done owt like it before I be mostly happy. Every step was checked and signed off by one of the two supervising cats. It features léc trickery, wiffy, wasser, fold out workbench, lots of storage and more hooks than a tackle shop. Start to finish can be found in a dropbox foldery thing below.

(Looks to right of new shed) Are you sure you've not done anything
like that before? Or were those other structures knocked up some time
back without your assistance by the cats?

Are you sure you are in the right group? We rarely actually do anything
in here.

My only comment is, it's fart 2 tidy. Where are the empty cement sacks?

When is ye shedd-warming party? And wot's in the bockle on the shelf? Do
you need help drinking it?

The garden came pre-shedded for us many moons ago, there's probably more creosote on the other two sheds than you can shake a crusty old stirring stick at.

We've done that a few times now, assorted meats have been slow smoked and grilled to perfection.
The bottle is some decent calvados picked up from a farm close to a friends house in Le Frenchland nr St Lo.
Was planning to top that up with a little raiding trip over new year in the Bongo Bus, but it appears they've taken up the drawbridge.

Likewise. I particulately like the way the front door can convert into an
awning. How does the whole thing stand up to gales (not Gail's)?

An impressive erection you've got there. Do the neighbours eye it with

Yes my old shed was held up not by its cedarwood, but by the various coats
of nice looking gunge one paints on the stuff to stop it drying out and
cracking.

That is ackshirley a WW2 russian army poncho. It was used for ages as a cover for a barrel smoker as you can tell by the suntan.
Very very strong bit of canvas, secured with M8 bolts at the rear and closed by tent things that look like hair bands. It's there to keep the sun off on hot days, and provide a little shelter during showers. It's only propped up with Mr Guy Ropes, and tarp poles. It's withstood gusty gusts, but tis only designed to be used whilst cooking.

I would imagine normally that would be true, but I'm sure it's down to this wee cough that's doing the rounds.

I miss the large flat plastic bin for charcoal.

No, really: got one a while ago, and it's great. No more large lumps-then-fine
bits. Spread out flat, rather than layered inna bag, I can pick up the mix of
coarse and fine I want. Put in a bit of cardboard and keep briquettes and lump
in it, without mixing. And should I forget to take it in an rain or dew gets to
it, it won't turn into a sodden mass of paper around damp carbon...

Oh, and a good one: dedicated grill storage. Excellent.

I saw this cartoon about finishing school , the set up was there's a young lady standing at the door to her apartment , there's some people out in the hall and she's cupping her right breast with her hand and pointing to it with her left hand and her parents are back within the apartment saying "and for this we sent her to finishing school?"
