Faux railway building

[kirky]

Me shed needed a luck of paint. Influenced by the colours of LNER at Pickering, I decided I would go go this:



It provoked this reaction from mrs Kirky
'Even the shed has to be about bloody railways!'

Anybody else do stuff that is railway related to provoke despair in their other half?

Cheers
Kirky
Ps pls can a mod turn it round for me. Ta.

I kinda like it on it's side like that because that's the way I'd see it once Mrs B was finished with me 

It looks great, kirky. Brilliant, actually.

I'd turn it right way up for you, but I'm on me phone and don't know how on the phone 

And I'm Downunder anyway, don't forget

Not possible in my case

Anything I did like that would only be seen as cool by my misses

Actually I was being a bit tongue-in-cheek above. My missus would be impressed too... don't know how anyone couldn't be! That is an unreal paint job, man!! 

[kirky]

Well guys your words are of great comfort to me. Much appreciated. Thank goodness for the NGF. 

I think secretly she does actually like it. It's more my obsession with trains that gets to her I think.

Well, originating as I do from your neck of the woods, one ought to remember that you could be down the pub instead of painting sheds! The former was the preferred pastime when I lived there!

Not at this time of the morning thanks George!

A corrected view, and blue skies in Redcar this morning. That's something of a rarity.

Mate, it's a work of art, I kid you not.

[kirky]

Thanks Goerge.
And thanks Caz for rotating the first pic.

Cheers

To avoid complaints about railway colours, couldn't you just say the green was to match the wheelie bin and the white to stop people walking into it in the dark?

If I did that excellent paint job my wife would faint, she's not used to me painting

[Bealman]

Mine too... she's not used to me doing ANYTHING

Unfortunately mrs Kirky isn't that naive.
What's really annoying tho is I was going to do maroon and cream, which is NER colours I believe (and is reproduced on Goathland station) but she said under no circumstances was I allowed maroon! Now she says she is not fond of green!

Maybe you could tell her you want to enter the shed in the Shed of the Year competition?
