    And once you've got your equipment, make her something for the house she's always wanted, as quick as you can.

    When I get my shed, I'll be building HWMBO a bar for his shed, I may even build it before I get my shed...... depends on when I need some bargaining points for another plan of mine....

    Dear Mr Borer (and others!)you lucky buggers; don't you have a life?

    My life just seems to revolve around reasons for not even getting to the shed. If it's not entertaining friends, it's being entertained, or inventing new projects to start. Each evening it's a new scribble, and piles of stuff pulled out onto the floor, bench or any other horizontal (or even near horizontal) surface.

    Usually by the end of the week I've made so much mess pulling stuff out to see what I've got to work with, that I have to spend all Saturday putting it away so I can start the process again on Sunday.

    Fortunately, having survived as a sole male in the household of four females, I have discovered that shopping can indeed compensate for any other shortcomings.

    This week for instance, to assist in overcoming my disappointment at lack of quality shed time, I have ordered a few books and a REALLY big BU plane!

    Now I do feel really good, but there's no box to tick on the poll!

    G'Day All,

    I am lucky that I get to spend as much quality shed time as I wish, once the "house jobs" are done the rest of the day is mine. I guess it is a case of I'd go nuts if I did'nt get out there as I'm medically "retired" and it was totally unexpected, it gives me an intrest. The more time spent out in the shed the more of an obsession it is becoming, but I guess I could be doing worse things like some people do. My wifey doesn't mind as I'm only a cooee away. In hours, I reckon it would be in the range of 50+ over 7 days.

    Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night.
