The Shed has moved..(update 05/03)
« on: February 07, 2023, 12:34:34 PM »
Morning All

The last few months has seen very little radio chatter from me and I thought I'd explain whats going on. Back in October we bought a new home near Chertsey, Surrey and moved out of our old house of nearly thirty years in December. The new place is a massive project = 3 bungalows sitting in 10 acres of woodland. Two of the buildings are uninhabitable and we have only just got the third into a iiving condition. On top of all this the grounds have been neglected for the past 10 years so there is plenty to be done. The good news is that there is an old office/shed on site for my new games room.



I am keeping a log of the progress of this on my blog with part 1 posted back in November

http://shedwars.blogspot.com/2022/11/the-new-shed-part-1.html

Each of the posts has link to the next and so you can follow my progress / descent into madness.

As things develop I'll be announcing further news on how this project will develop - in the meantime I have some more trees to chop

Giles (aka Eric the Shed)

That looks to be a rather massive project; all the best with that! :)

And is me, the picture, or gravity that's skewing the shed in the picture to the point of near collapse?  :o
Miniatures you say? Well I too, like to live dangerously...

Looks impressive and a nice project, we're it not for the fact that it sounds like the house will be more of the same!

Good luck with this massive, i.e. bigger than 28mm, project.

I'm rather concerned for your safety Mr. Eric the Shed.  I'm hoping Mrs. Shed isn't planning to do you in while you are asleep.  All that work on your play room but what about her house - a woman wants her house in order and pronto?  Mrs. Fifteens is quite adamant on this point and, heck, I even, more or less, comply with her frequent demands!  lol

Looks like you will have a rather magnificent play room for your miniatures once all is done.

Well, if you survive Mrs. Shed.   :o

I'm rather pleased that you're in Chertsey rather than Bath.
Your new place is looking good.

That is an unbelievable amount of space!  :o

I noticed you have a faucet in there. You got a toilet as well?
