View Full Version : If You Had A Shed...............
Patsy 26-03-2005, 03:38 PM For those of you who, like me, yearn for a shed, let me know what you'd keep in it.
Personally, I would keep Duncan James, 12 months supply of viagra (for his use, not mine), 2 bicycle pumps, a power hose and extension lead.
Anyone else want to play? :mellow:
I can't play as I have no less than 3 sheds :bag:
Patsy 26-03-2005, 03:46 PM lucky - can I be your friend?
Any friend of Cat's is a friend of mine!
Cheekychops 26-03-2005, 03:48 PM Patsy have never yearned for a shed in my life before reading your post but now that I know what you could keep in them I want one too.
I would keep George Clooney, Ewan McGregor and Brad Pitt in mine with a never ending supply of Baby oil and drink plus a lovely four poster bed. I would have a rota in which each of them would be allocated several hours a day to "entertain me" :naughty:.
I would also..........Help am getting too carried away here must go now Damn you Patsy and your placing ideas into the heads of innocents your a :devil:
Patsy 26-03-2005, 03:49 PM She used to have a shed. Sadly no more, although she does now have a lovely sun trap!
There is nothing exciting in any of my 3 sheds....
One has a drum kit, one has the childrens bikes, and the other one has garden tools, a patio set and junk...
I think I need to clear the biggest one out, so I would have room for all 4 boys from Blue :naughty:

Islandman 26-03-2005, 04:57 PM I dunno about a shed...but if I had a hammer...I'd hammer in the morning, I'd hammer in the evening, I'd hammer all over this land...
:)
Fee For All 26-03-2005, 05:07 PM There's some on here that would pay good money for a service like that:wink2:
survivorfan 26-03-2005, 05:26 PM If I had a shed I think I'd keep another, smaller shed inside. The outer shed could become weatherbeaten and shabby, but the inner shed would remain in pristine condition. I'd get it out on special occasions - Christmas, Easter, weddings etc. My friends would be so envious of my pristine shed.
Patsy 26-03-2005, 06:38 PM But what of the inner shed, oh true shed lover? What would you keep in there? I'm getting very excited.
Dolores 26-03-2005, 06:57 PM Patsy, what a great topic for a newbie!
I love my shed, I religiously clean it out every six months. For years and years I yearned for a shed, I used to be very jealous of Maxine when she had a lovely new shed in her previous house. i never thought I'd have a shed of my own, and now I do! Mind I was 37 before this dream became reality, but it was well worth the wait.
What my shed contains is a shelving unit with a tool box on, lots of plant pots, gardening tools, hay for the rabbit, a garden lounger which is at least 15 years old, a small stool (I was caught short one day!!!!) and other bits and bobs. it is a very small shed (rather like the one in your picture!) so I can't fit my bikes in there - which is why they're always getting nicked!!! :ranting:
Often after I've l cleaned out the shed I will sit on my stool with a beer and think I should spend more time in my shed ... then i think I'm sad, lonely and a bit of a muppet so I stop myself from becoming too romantic about my shed.
I am actually quite over indulged in the outer house storage capacity.
When we moved into this house we had a brick out house in the garden next to the house, which we knocked down last summer, being that we have 3 garages - don't like to boast. But whilst I'm at it..we also have 2 wheely bins too.
BUT if I had a shed I would put PJ in there.
Dolores 26-03-2005, 07:08 PM BUT if I had a shed I would put PJ in there.
be afraid PJ, be very afraid! sounds macabre to me Cat ... are your intentions honourable?!
be afraid PJ, be very afraid! sounds macabre to me Cat ... are your intentions honourable?!
What do you think....I want to take him and lock him away from the rest of the world...keep him just for my benefit only, for me to play with as and when I wish...
....that was too much wasn't it.
I have a few sad sheds and reading this thread has made me realise I just do not appreciate and love my sheds like I should.
I have a very very small shed, with a cream carpet and red walls [inside], it has a very small window with curtains and a tiny little porch like roof over the entrance. There is nothing in this little sad shed bar a few lego toys.
I have another shed, which has a slate roof and a dirt floor - it again has nothing in it - except some old and sad nesting boxes.
I have another shed which is open to the elements, no windows and no roof to speak of - this shed however is full to the brim with plant pots - oh gosh thousands and thousands of the blighters - I htink this shed is the breeding ground for plant pots.
There is another - but this is a happy shed really cos it is the dogs summer kennel - and it has two doors, a little one and a big one, and a window and a heater - but little else - except the dogs of course.
And the final shed is the smelly shed - and that really is the hen house, so a shed on legs!!
What I would really like is a shed that is hexagonal or octagonal and smells like new wood, I would sweep it out regularly and I would sit in it with a glass of Pimms and a wear a straw hat and solve mysteries!
Woodstock 26-03-2005, 09:49 PM Used to have a shed when i was younger, and it accomodated my 6'x3' snooker table. Had to saw one of the two cues in half though in order to be able to play the more claustrophobic shots. But in the summer, in less inclement weather conditions, we transported it outside in the open, and played "winner stays-on", while the stereo was blasting out Snap's "I've Got The Power", and all that type of nonsense.
The shed was also useful for the occasional secret rendezvous with my sister's best friend.:shutup:
Oh Patsy, you are a dear - thank you for including us poor shedless individuals. I personally think you've made very good use of your 'dream shed' - is that it in your avatar? The tools you want inside yours are better than the standard gardening tools!
Let me see - my dream shed? Well, there's always the dungeon option! Alternatively I'd have some exercise equipment in my shed which would be used regularly and with much enthusiasm for the first couple of weeks, then left to gather dust for the next few years before being auctioned on Ebay.
Patsy 27-03-2005, 08:59 AM The shed was also useful for the occasional secret rendezvous with my sister's best friend.:shutup:[/QUOTE]
Woodstock, I'm speechless. I know I don't know you guys yet, but really, snooker! Alcohol! Loose women! A shed is a thing to be treasured, not abused in this vile manner.
I'm shocked.
........... but secretly excited..........
I too yearned for a shed when I was living in my flat........ joy oh joy, I now have 2 - one of them is full of gardening tools etc and the other houses the tumble dryer, 2nd fridge freezer and Mr Q's fishing tackle.....
I am now yearning for, nay, NEED, a summer house :D
Patsy 27-03-2005, 09:35 AM Greedy lucky bitch!
Greedy lucky bitch!
Wait for it........ Im getting a little greenhouse too :p
Patsy 27-03-2005, 09:40 AM Where in the south-west are you, tell me ........ I HAVE TO KNOW......
Where in the south-west are you, tell me ........ I HAVE TO KNOW......
If I tell you, I will have to KILL you......soz! :gunsmilie
A shed is like an addiction, once you have one you want another one, then another one....a shed addict is never satisfied.
Thats why I made the decision to knock my down before it all got out of control.
Garages are safer as they are not so attractive.
Patsy 27-03-2005, 09:58 AM Cat, tell Queeenie, she's teasing me.
I wouldn't have a greenhouse, not only for the fact that my garden is too small, but because I'm not green fingered and I have two boys with footballs.
The shed on my avatar is probably the size I could fit in, but IDEALLY it would have enough room for bikes and a jukebox.
Ok, Ok, I will stop teasing you Patsy, and I will go and have a potter in one of MY SHEDS :wink_kiss :devil:
Patsy 27-03-2005, 10:05 AM rural freak

The shed (which was larger than your average shed), became a beacon of secret romance and recreation. There was a dart board hung up, my snooker table, Subbuteo - which i had a special board made by my dad, to place the pitch on, and then on top of the snooker table itslef. An electric heater to keep oneself warm during winter, vices, tools and wood to make s**t. windows all around one side and one on the back end - the latter, i used for quick escapes, when someone came calling at the house door, and then they realized i may be in the shed. Often they omitted the knocking at the house door and came straight to the shed, which rendered it impossible for me to escape from their company - I had some occasionally-annoying friends you see. Sometimes i escaped out the window and behind the shed, but after a while, this became common knowledge, so they'd also bypass coming straight into the shed, and instead they'd just come round the rear and see me crouched down, which left me having to offer some weak-assed explanation that "I think one of the Subbuteo players may be under the shed somewhere....." - I soon exhausted my weak-assed excuses....so i just had to let myself be annoyed.....
The romance part - well, that was nothing more daring than stealing a quick snog, and satisfying general adolescent curiosities......though looking back on it, it sure would have been great to have had sex in there...:bored:
When we moved house, the ignorant selfish bas***ds who moved in, in place of us, disassembled the shed and put up a monstrosity of their own - sacrilege if ever i knew it....swines!!
And woe-betide any wasp that should enter during the summer months - my dad had some long rod-like contraptions (tools) that had a metal "grip" on the business end that retracted back and forth by pulling a lever with your two fingers at the other end. The wasps just got crushed - i despise the little s**ts!!, and they deserved all they got....
The shed.......ahhhhh....:)
nice "shed thread" patsy.
Patsy 27-03-2005, 02:12 PM Ahhh Woody, I was there with you in my mind. I'll bet you crossed paths with Rosie Palmer many a time in that shed. Am I right?
I have to say that the shed in your avatar looks very like one of my 3 sheds Patsy, you have not been around my house taking pictures have you? :wacko:
Patsy 27-03-2005, 03:45 PM another "oh I'll just drop into the conversation that I've got 3 sheds" greedy shed creature.
:ranting:
But you already know I have 3 sheds Patsy, I mentioned it before :D
Patsy 27-03-2005, 03:49 PM Sorry ILS, I really must get over this jealousy thing, but don't tell Queeenie.
After all, I have my family, my health, no job because I was sacked on Thursday, but hopefully another one to go into.
A shed, you would think, should not be so important to me. But it is, ILS, it is. :(
Commandment number 11, thou shalt not covet thy new cyber friends' sheds.
You need not covet my sheds Patsy, one leaks, one is full of junk so you can't get to anything and the other one has a drum kit in it :bored:
To be honest I would rather be shedless like you!
Patsy 27-03-2005, 03:53 PM Aw you're just trying to make me feel better. Actually, what I need even more than a shed is a garden big enough to put it in, which would mean me moving house, which I can't afford to do.
Crap.
floopy 27-03-2005, 07:44 PM We have a shed - everything in it is painted gold, after Cockney put a screwdriver through a tin of gold spray praint.
It's lovely. No really.
Patsy 27-03-2005, 07:46 PM You can't gild a lilly, floops, as well you know.
floopy 27-03-2005, 07:50 PM he was trying to gild a television....(long story).
Anyhow, you're new, start being humble and nice
Patsy 27-03-2005, 07:52 PM You noticed. Give me time, loving the insult thread, allows you go gauge people quite well.
Some people are very conspicuous by their absence, methinks...... ;)

Patsy 27-03-2005, 07:59 PM Oooh, ok that either means you're very sensitive or a psycho bitch.
Should I move the knives?
floopy 27-03-2005, 08:00 PM no no no, see I'm a mewly kitten, like what Ceri said.
I get upset when people say mean things.
Ceridwen 27-03-2005, 08:01 PM What floopy really wants is lots of fluffy bunny wabbits and big kisses 'n' cuddles
Patsy 27-03-2005, 08:03 PM ok What E Ver
floopy 27-03-2005, 08:03 PM I'm going to have to leave this thread now. :sick:
I have to get to the back of one of my TWO sheds to gt the gardening tools out...(Sorry Patsy, just had to put that in) so i can mow my vast expanse of lawn (moss and weeds) today......
Patsy 28-03-2005, 08:47 AM Hope you tread on this while you're out there :pooh:
I have two sheds aswell. One filled with gym equipment so it's kind of like a little home gym and one filled with all the usual shed stuff - plant pots, bikes, bicycle pumps, a skimpily dressed Cat, garden tools, lawnmowers...

I've lost the key to the padlock of my shed so it's no go at the moment. Like the wise and sensible person I am I put all three keys on the same keyring! d'oh!
Ceridwen 28-03-2005, 12:06 PM I have a large shed, sadly full of nothing but gardening equipment and cobwebs.
I feel distinctly disadvantaged and would like priviledged treatment as I am in fact an under-represented minority group.

NO that is the shed
floopy 28-03-2005, 01:41 PM But it's not our shed, is it dear?
*sigh*
I do have to make a trip to the shed shortly, to see if the old zimmer frame is still in there. Cockney has gone to the park to play football with his chums. last time he played football he couldnt walk for 3 weeks.
Daft old codger.

Please tell me you took this specially, you didn't just HAPPEN to have a picture of your shed.
floopy 28-03-2005, 04:52 PM If that were your shed, Pats, wouldnt you want a photo of it?
Patsy 28-03-2005, 04:55 PM I would answer, floops, but I like you.
I'm just envious that you've got something even remotely resembling a shed. My outside cupboard has to house all my gardening stuff, (which isn't much to be fair), the meters and all the junk for recycling. And a mouse trap which didn't have anything in it last time I looked thank goodness.
Woodstock 28-03-2005, 05:47 PM Ahhh Woody, I was there with you in my mind. I'll bet you crossed paths with Rosie Palmer many a time in that shed. Am I right?

survivorfan 29-03-2005, 04:04 PM I have a very very small shed, with a cream carpet !
Is it a long pile or short pile carpet, and is it plain or patterned? Do you have pics?
Ceridwen 29-03-2005, 04:10 PM A cream carpet in a shed? How bizarre!! :unsure:
I used to have a shed with a blue carpet in it....not nice tho after a summer of activity tho, bare boards are better.
SF I must share with you...my stair carpet is the top bollocky bob Axeminster..not to everyones taste, but the quality is superb. I too have an appreciation of a good carpet. I've got photo's.

I'm very excited!
Coastie 30-03-2005, 01:07 PM I have a shed...it's very old and barely standing...it came with the house and is full of my brother and his ex's old stuff....and I mean full.....Nothing in it belongs to me....simply because I can fit nothing in it! :sad:

isn't that one of the 10 commandments "Thou shalt not covert thy neighbours carpet"? You would do well to re-read your bible.

If we can't get Sfanny to blow it up, we should apply to one of them makeover programs. I'm sure they'll take pity on Coastie once they see the state of her garden and shed.
Then whilst she's away the team cover all the grass with decking, put down several tons of gravel that gets trodden into the house for years, add a solar water feature that's guaranteed to drip slowly when the temperature gets over a 100f, rip down the shed and put in a pretty but totally impractical summerhouse, then she'll have to dump the junk as there'll be nowhere left to put it.

Pub sheds, cinema sheds. It's obvious to me it was someone at my shed party, funny how the themes are the same.
There's treachery afoot, I know it. :angry:
D'you know what Pats, I was bursting to tell you about this when it came on in the week, but I was too ill to get here and when I did get here I was too stupid to remember about it. This isn't the first time I've wondered if creative telly types lurk here.
Patsy 01-05-2005, 10:40 AM hmmmmmmmmm, is there a plot afoot?
I am sure they do! :laugh:
Critique 01-05-2005, 11:25 AM It's taken me all this time to even look in this thread because I had a very nasty experience with a shed.
Mr C decided he wanted a hobby/model room to make his aeroplanes. To cut a long story short he informed me that he was taking delivery of a "shed" and that it was rather large! Well that was the understatement of the year.
The "shed" turned out to be the back of a refrigerated container truck :blink:
It was as big as our small garden and stood about 9 feet high. The walls were about 9 inches thick and it was sooooooo ugly.
I told him there and then that he wasn't going to put that in our garden.
That fell on deaf ears of course and while he and his brothers were erecting it the neighbours were out with their cameras and were forming an orderly queue at the Council Offices before he had put the roof on. I was there too but disguised as Ronald McDonald so as not to draw attention to myself.
So after nearly killing themselves putting it up they were quickly informed by the council that it broke just about every planning regulation in the book and that it had to come down again (much to my relief and his disappointment).
The neighbours are now speaking to us again occasionally.
I did have a picture of it somewhere, unless I deleted it because of the shame and embarrassment it caused me.
Patsy 01-05-2005, 01:32 PM D'you know what Pats, I was bursting to tell you about this when it came on in the week, but I was too ill to get here and when I did get here I was too stupid to remember about it. This isn't the first time I've wondered if creative telly types lurk here.
I think I should patent my thread quickly. I could be Patsy Pending. :laugh:
LMAO - Critique, what must he have been thinking off :wacko: :laugh:
Patsy - I thought you would be interested to know I have been sorting out my sheds this afternoon, getting stuff that I have accumulated over the winter ready to go to the tip! :D
Patsy 01-05-2005, 06:59 PM Do you know what. Now I know I can get the bikes and the lawnmower in the garage, I'm kinda getting over my shed thing. I might change my avatar.
I feel a thread coming on...........
Patsy - I have been meaning to do this for days but keep forgetting, so whilst I have a minute. here are a couple of piccies of my 3 sheds....
The first one is a homemade one, made from an very old shed, that was already here when I moved in but was in danger of falling apart. It is built in the place where a brick built shed was originally, which was demolished before I moved here!

And these are the other two, the smallest one houses all the garden tools and the large one is the 'drum room' where my eldest's drum kit lives!

Patsy 06-05-2005, 03:04 PM Your sheds are lovely, Ceridwen. I no longer covet them. I now, as you can see, love kebabs.
But thank you for thinking of me. bitch
Ceridwen 06-05-2005, 03:09 PM But they're not MY sheds! :unsure:

Excuse me, am I invisible ?

So it would seem. My shed is a built in one full of spiders. :sad:

Bonsai 05-07-2006, 05:48 PM you could come and STAY with me Patsy and have a play in it......:applause:
Ooohhh she would love that. She could pretend it was her very very own :laugh:
Patsy 05-07-2006, 09:44 PM You can really go off people you know. I find this constant barracking not only childish, but very very boring.
pair of slappers
Coastie 06-07-2006, 07:36 AM I have a shed but I still am unable to use it...it has gone from being filled to the brim with the previous tenants stuff to being filled once more by my dads stuff :cry:
Haydon 18-04-2007, 06:43 PM I know this thread is pretty old - but it's a fav.
Here is my shed - complete with pond. Some of you may remember discussion of my pond a while back. (in fact that reminds of another thread topic)
This photo was actually taken last year.

Fee For All 18-04-2007, 10:19 PM The lawn's pretty ropey http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y118/FenellaFinkelstein/smiley/fear10.gif
Haydon 18-04-2007, 10:45 PM It was. Pic was taken last year. We took down a huge fir tree and it left a big hole.
The other patches by the pond are where the old house owners had a bench.
Bonsai 19-04-2007, 08:18 AM Very nice Haydon. Does Patsy still crave a shed, or did she rectify that situation *shrugs*.
Our shed is rather large, but i havent been inside it for about a year. Its crammed with so much 'boy stuff' like wood, tools etc i find it a little scary :shocking:
Northern angel 19-04-2007, 04:30 PM Hello Haydon,
Your Garden and your shed look great a haven of tranquility.
The mind boggles with the very first post though about Duncan James the Viagra and the power hose. Mmm
I feel Duncan might object.

Good or bad?
Seabreeze 19-04-2007, 09:07 PM Thanks for resurrecting this thread, H. Makes me realise how much I've moved on in 2 years. :bored:
If it makes you feel any better I don`t have a shed either :mellow:
Patsy 19-04-2007, 09:09 PM Another dream unattained. Still shedless with an increasinly unruly bush.
And people still don't punctuate properly.
And I just started two sentences with a preposition.
I am doomed.
Fee For All 19-04-2007, 09:11 PM ...increasinly so...
:yahoo:

You really need to get out more :)
Patsy 19-04-2007, 09:14 PM I'll have a look for Fee's missing "g" whilst I'm out.
Fee For All 19-04-2007, 09:20 PM Just remember who's holding the tickets, madam :angry:
msgirl 19-04-2007, 10:46 PM I'll have to post a pic of our 'shed' when I get home...it's really an old 'smokehouse' that's been converted into a workshop/shed/storage locker. We've torn down the barn about 2 years ago and the pumphouse about that my f-i-l had the washer and dryer in and some useless pipeworks about 10 years ago when we bought the house and land. No comments on the "Mississippi Looks" of it...it's on the chopping block next.:applause:

Coastie 19-06-2007, 03:34 AM Playin' Dolly's game...
I still can't fit anything in my own shed as it's filled with all my dads stuff! :(
I want to concrete my entire garden and get a new shed in which I would liek to keep a bicycle which I can use in this glorious weather we have been having and park my car of the main road. However I can't get a bike at the mo as I have no where to keep it and my car is still at the mercy of youths and drunks because my dad is like a barnacle stuck on the hull of a boat...I just can't scrap him off and realese him to find a new home as he's far to settled in my attic! :bored:
msgirl 19-06-2007, 05:40 AM Coaster, tell him to "help" you pare down his "stuff" so you can live out your dream...or tell him you will be tying him to the car every night to be at the mercy of youths (thugs) and drunks...hth:ninja:
Andrea 19-06-2007, 10:29 PM We're doing the house hunting bit at the moment and one house we've viewed today had TWO sheds!
Coastie 20-06-2007, 02:26 AM Dont' tell Patsy she'll be wanting to move in with you! :shocking: Or just into one of your sheds! :sly:
