THE JUICES ARE FLOWING

What a heady combination! The creative and gastric juices flowing all over the place. Avid readers, I bring you ……..

….. The House of Gingernuts!!!!

Now the shed is operational, goodness only knows what could happen. I just know you’re as excited as I am.
Have a lovely weekend …… and let the farce be with you to [...]

DANCING TO A DIFFERENT TUNA

The shed is fitted and ready to go ………

………. and I’ve wasted no time.
Within seconds of fitting the final shelf I created this …….

…….. which was created within seconds.
“Dancing to a Different Tuna” questions so many aspects of modern life I don’t know where to begin …….. so I won’t. It could also send the [...]

CATCH 22 …….

…….. or it might be 23 ……

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 [...]

ELECTRICKERY

I’m starting to fit out the shed. The first job that has to be done is get all the wiring in before I insulate and line the walls and floor.
I’ve already run the line from the Cliff Top Residence to the shed. I knelt in some fox’s poo which is the smelliest poo known to [...]

OK OK ……..

……… I promise I won’t mention my shed again for ages.

“It would appear, DP, that the shed that was ordered, is larger than the one I approved. I will allow it but I will not tolerate it being the colour of someone just about to take part in Strictly Come Dancing. An effect like driftwood, [...]

HEAVEN ……..

… I’m in heaven,
And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak.
And I seem to find the happiness I seek,
When I’m in my shed checking it for leaks.
Heaven… I’m in heaven,
And the cares that hung around me through the week,
Seem to vanish like a gambler’s lucky streak,
When I’m in the shed, being an antique.
Oh, [...]

LET JOY BE UNCONFINED …..

…….. and Margery, Doris and Ethel ……. my shed has arrived!!!!!

The base fits the bricks I’ve laid …….

…… the side panels are on their sides …….

……… and the roof is on it’s edge.
Tomorrow, I shall fight gravity, a bag of bits, instructions written in Japanese and a howling gale, and create a little piece of [...]

A FOUNDATION COURSE

I realise this will be of little interest to anyone but myself …… (I am deeply and sincerely interested. Lo,TG Ed)

…….. but these are the footings for my soon-to-arrive shed!!!!! A course of bricks to be laid of course and then it’s ready go ……. 12ft by 8ft of bliss ……
Please notice the Oh Jays [...]

A SHED LOAD OF IDEAS

I’ve been making some decisions about the ‘soontobeinexistence’ shed.

It’s definitely going to have walls and a roof. There’s a good chance it’ll have a window, and I must remember to put a door somewhere.
I’m a tad unsure whether or not to dig out a cellar for my selection of fine wines [several cases of Red [...]

THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO DP

…..and a voice said unto me
“GO FORTH INTO YOUR WILDERNESS AND SLASH AND BURN [using a really nifty chainsaw from B&Q - only £29.99 and several boxes of matches because I was never a boy scout] AND CLEAR THE GROUND FOR WHAT IS YOURS BY RIGHT [ right from the house – of course [...]
