Looks like the sort of thing a remote rural fire brigade would store its 'appliance' in.

If you find a post of mine that is missing a pic that you'd like to see, let me know & I'll see if I can find a copy.

Waldo - thanks for the pics. All good - except for the distressed dunny - I have to offer you some advice and guidance here. It would be a potentially serious mistake to confuse your shed with your dunny. A dunny only fulfills one of the Code's requirements: that it contains but a single seat. In other respects ......:eek:
Wendy - that's a great photo and is a definite contender.

It’s a wet and miserable morning outdoors and I haven’t got much of a workload today so I’ve been pondering Code-related matters. Here are some thoughts.
On re-reading my post #152 above, I feel I may have given the impression that I was dismissive of the detailed input from havenoideaatall. If so, I apologise. That was not my intention. Brother have raises an interesting point about the potential for a bloke’s shed to be co-opted as a storage area for items of a non-blokely disposition and character. Putting it bluntly, a bloke can’t allow his shed to be filled up with old crap on the whim of non-bloke members of the household. If he chooses to fill it up with old crap :eek: er, that is, potentially useful material of his own, that’s different
However, where Brother have and I differ is in the area of detail. I believe the Code should be a guide, not an instruction manual. It is designed to provide advice and general direction but not to give instructions to fit every situation a bloke may meet.
In that respect, the description ‘Code of Practice’ was carefully selected.
In the area of prescribed behaviour for the community at large there are three levels of guidance
Legislation – enshrined in common law and statute and establishing both the boundaries of acceptable behaviour and appropriate punishment for breaches. (Not to be confused with The Laws of Shed Physics – see below).
Regulations – detailing specific rules that are to be followed.
Codes of Practice – setting guidelines and offering advice.
So, when it comes to a bloke and his shed, well, he is in charge and therefore can be considered to have the authority to establish both common law and statute. For regulations – again - a given bloke sets the rules for his own shed.
The Code of Practice is not designed to be prescriptive about shed activities but instead to provide general guidance for all blokes engaged in shed activities – in both their own and other blokes’ sheds. Where the Code occasionally veers into the prescriptive, this tends to be on matters that are well understood by blokes and simply require authoritative confirmation from the Code: in the area of blokely drinks, for instance.
Now, as to the Laws of Shed Physics. Think of the concept of Bistromaths, described by Slartiblartfast in Douglas Adams’ Hitch Hiker series. The Laws of Shed Physics are not laws established by precedent or statute. They are nature’s laws. They are immutable and inviolable. You can’t break the Laws of Shed Physics any more than you can break any other law of nature. To attempt, for example, to place a limit on the number of clamps you might need is as futile as trying to breathe by inhaling water while submerged. Doesn’t work, can’t be done. Dire consequences will follow.
(Incidentally, it’s fairly obvious that the only reason Slartiblartfast isn’t named Slartiblartfart is because Hitch Hiker was originally a radio series broadcast by the BBC, who clearly would have vetoed anything overtly vulgar).

I know its not your code but you were the Drivering force behind it and have done a mighty job in compiling and editing it , but the decision is yours .

Col,
I'm a tad concerned about your blokeliness. First, "toodlepip", now this;
recently a disturbing trend has been reported by blokes whose life partners have suggested that devices be installed in sheds that will allow said life partners

Hi Driver,
Here's something you may be interested in as a cover picture. Its a scan of a photocopy of a drawing I did many years ago, so the quality is pretty poor.The original I gave away, and this B&W is the only copy I have. Original had some colour over the inkwork, and was A3; this is an A4 scan of half the drawing, but may suit your needs.
Cheers, and thanks for all your work on the Code!Andy Mac
