Want one now... you should see the one that my Brother-In-Law's Dad has designed for himself, think it'll end up being bigger than his house once he's finished... but maybe that's the point  |

This is for those that can't have their own.
We have 3 (!) sheds, all full up with wood, gardening stuff and general crap

I'm not even allowed 1  ... although to be honest we have possibly the smallest garden in Berkshire so it would dwarf it if I did have one. |

I would love to learn how to work with wood competently Mike . TBH much of the electronics for DIY is beyond me . I'm sure that I could make some time to attend something like this and make some new friends too There's one five miles away and hopefully one on my doorstep soon . |

The problem we will all have is being with old gits - much like ourselves I would learn the DIY so I can do it myself and probably on my own. There will be guys you are happy being with and ones we would avoid like the plague |

Bit naive I suppose but I do live in hope |

Spent some quality time in my shed today - making a new plexiglas back plate for my Quad 33 ... Would go to one of these communal efforts but I retired to get away from people  Seriously though; the nearest one is an hours drive away |

I spent good money buying one of the Keter sheds, and then spent another set of cash on getting workers to assemble it for me. But before I could even blink an eye the wife had already crammed it full with stuff from the loft etc. So somewhere in that shed I have half of my record collection, nearly all of my cartridges and expensive headshells, a stack of brand new TC-7510 and TC-7520 boards, and who knows what else. The prospect of emptying it so that I can create a "men only " area is now just an abandoned dream.

What you need is a shed Stan. Another one. With a lock on it.

It has a lock on it. But it was like locked the stable doors after the horse had bolted..

Sorry to hear that Stan.
Similar to what happened here, but I confess to cramming all sorts of crap in the sheds myself.
Stunning how quick they can be filled up.
Sorting the sheds is one of my projects this year
- This probably means throwing a lot of stuff away
