Wow that's amazing! Someone with great vision must have built that.

I'd like to see it, n.brown, but cannot get the picture up. Anti-e-bay stuff on the computer, i suppose.
What does it look like? A teardrop or somesuch?

There's nothing like a shed-like shed, I suppose.
As it's on wheels I guess it's like a mobile chicken coop or shepherds's hut.
I went to the barber's today and got him talking about fishing. He said he used to make all his own flies. He's stopped now as his wife doesn't like him taking over the kitchen table for two or three days. He reckoned she didn't seem to realise that these things were not to be moved until everything was set, and, if this took three days, then three days it took. Terrible unreasonable she was, and didn't seem to understand at all.
In the end he had to buy her a shed so that she could go out and do the washing up!
That wasn't too bad, but then she was questioning why he always smelled of drink when he came back from fifteen hours of fishing. Like he said, she didn't seem to understand and wasn't at all reasonable about it. Worse was to come. She reckoned she'd like to take up fishing and come with him! What a shocker! The first shed was too small for her to do the washing up and to take all the new kit he had to buy her; all manner of special underwear and lady's rod and chairs. So , next thing he had to buy another shed for all this clobber.
And then the neighbour started to kick up about there being no shed in the garden when he moved in, but now there were two. He seemed to be every bit as unreasonable as the wife. Seems it ain't easy being a barber if you like fishing.

Brilliant! If I had a driveway I'd bid for it. I've shared it on my FB, it might appeal to the doggie competition people that don't have space for a caravan. I hope you get a good price for all that creativity & craftsmanship.

Thanks, n. brown.
Nope, still can see no shed.
Tents, BBQs, garden furniture, but no shed.
Pity.

I see there have been a couple of bids already, not bad with 7 days to go and considering most of the bidding will probably take place in the last few hours.
Julie said the grandkids would love it and I would bid if I had enough room for it!

It's got to be worth at least £1000-£1500 - brand spanking new and all! For those who can't see the images: Attachments:

Nice work there, n. brown! As per usual.
I'm sure you did one before and showed in on the other forum. As I said before, when i get flush I'll commission you to build something for me. Your standard is very high.

I reckon he ought to build a unit which can simply be forklifted onto a work van and ratchet strapped down at each end! I wouldn't have needed to buy a motorhome then!

Yes, in all seriousness, I have plans along the lines suggested by Robmac!
If boats can do it so can sheds, imo.
These things are more "in keeping" with the so-called POIs , I think, and would certainly be far better in the woods, if any woodland ever gets bought.
To be honest, my plans were based more on converted containers. Wood cladding to look like timber chalets is possible, imo.

I helped a german guy do a similar thing with 2 big containers on the Algarve,they cost about 3 grand delivered the pair,he put them on a big slab and left a gap of about 5 metres between,spanned that with concrete prestressed beams,very cheap down there.made a very nice legal home.
