CATCH 22 …….

…….. or it might be 23 ……

Shed - insulation

It’s been a tad chilly recently which has been very frustrating as I’ve wanted to get on with fitting out my studio …….. OK OK -  shed …….. sheeeesh!

The first job is to insulate it so that it can be made cosy [with the help of a portable heater] and I’ve been waiting for the weather to show some kindness.

Yesterday was the day!!!!! Even in it’s unfinished state it started to warm up very nicely. By the time this is published I’m hoping that my man-cave will be fully insulated and I’ll be able to continue wearing not much more than a t-shirt and a cardboard box.

The next job is to get the electrickery connected so I can listen to the radio whilst planning my assault on Leonardo’s reputation …….

    John replied:

    Is that an individual or group sport? Those Nordic things are beyond my understanding.

    daddyp replied:

    daddyp replied:

    Individual [perhaps with a little help from your friends] ……

    John replied:

    My friends are helping you bowl over maidens, or the Beatles are running amok again?

    I’m glad you have a shed. Every man should have a shed. Somewhere to hide away from trouble and nibble ginger nuts. (The biscuits. Not Boris Becker…)

    daddyp replied:

    The shed is to a chap what a pair of high heels is to a goddess ……

    I’d like a shed too. Perhaps I’m a latent male….

    daddyp replied:

    Now that would be a turn-up for the books …….

    Man, this is the coldest winter we’ve had here in the South in a loooooong time. I mean, I still sweat at night, but I’m hoping it’s because I’m going through “the change”. ;-p

    Anyway, Evan has already used all of his weather days (days they put into the school calendar just in case they have to close for snow or tornadoes) and January isn’t half over yet.

    I love it. Not the weather days, but the cold. Keeps most of the idiots inside. :-)

    daddyp replied:

    It must be a joy to have Evan at home sooooooo much …… that’s what you meant wasn’t it? ….. tee hee

    careful that electrickery is complicated and damned expensive too

    daddyp replied:

    Hello Livintheblues!!!! – sorry, you got stuck in moderation ….. it shouldn’t happen again. Glad you found the road here – tee hee.

    The TG will probably only allow me a small amount because of the expense ….. I don’t want to ’shock’ her …… obviously

    Shed? Absolute Firetrap I’d say. I give it 3 winters. If you live that long.

    daddyp replied:

    That’s two more than I was reckoning on …….
