Thank you VERY much!!! :bounce:

You have got my vote but your shed would be much improved if your double peg semaphores were the right way up and facing in the right direction.

Thanks Ray.  There is one photo on the voting page showing the inside (as you have to have one of the inside to be in the competition.  However, I don't want to show too much of the interior because of the value of the tools in it.  ;)

Voted....could we not start our own Shedi (as in Jedi) thread, we all either go "cool top class shed" or use peer pressure and embarrassment to get our sheds cleaned up, basically coming out of the shed as opposed to the closet.

Or sheds anonymous...mind you that wouldn't work as we post our user names... :hmmm:

I have 2 sheds and a cabin and quite honestly I'm appalled with myself, must get it sorted this year.

As someone without a shed or a cabin, can I ask, what makes a shed a shed, and a cabin a cabin?  :dunce:

Post by: IanUK on May 07, 2013, 08:20:26 PM
Hi Leo,

A shed is made out of tongue and groove, or wood which is layered in a ship lap effect around 12mm thick. A Cabin is made out of interlocking logs, or thick pieces of wood, mine are 40mm thick.

If I haven't made my self clear someone will be along to correct me.

Think of it this way, a shed is a shed and a Cabin is......a posh shed  :D

Ian.

Second ... and very related to the first ... did anyone realise you can vote for the shed every day  ...  :laugh:

Added my vote - it's nice to see a good selection of sash cramps. You can't have too many clamps. My shed is a bit functional and is full of wood drying out, ready for turning in twelve months or so.

I agree Malc, a shed should be fully functional!  :)

I've just had a photographer round my house from the Croydon Advertiser. :camera: :o  I'll be in next weeks issue.  The reporter that I spoke to on the phone yesterday said that he wanted me to wear a train hat...  I told him that I'm not going down the 'anorak' route.  It's a bit of fun, not a chance to make fun of someone else's hobby. :no:  Not everyone conforms to the socially acceptable route in life of drinking, clubbing, smoking and football. ::)

Seriously.. the shed is the last bastion of undiluted alone time manliness... somewhere to ponder while twiddling the beard, to scratch, and to hide the bottle of port! :)

Make sure he's from the advertiser, and make sure he doesn't want you to "just wear a hat" a lot of strange peeps out there, before you know it you will be in the next issue of "you can leave your hat on"  :worried:

Talking about hats just chucked some in the hat for NGF as I have abused you all for that past couple of months.

Forgive me as have just woken up but how can you vote more than once? Is it on different computers as surely the organisers would smell a rat. Also, if you can on one computer, tank could just spend all day voting for himself.

Bit hungover too so as I said, please forgive if talking shed loads rubbish.

Will vote again if there is no problem.

The website remembers that your IP Address voted that day, and then it resets the next.  Unfortunately it poses a problem where I work, as when a few people have voted, then the rest of the workplace can't vote. ::)
