    It would have been funny seeing myself and my youngest son getting the jukebox off a van, up the drive, through the garden side gate, up the path and into the tea house. Although we had a dolly, it still had to be lifted up a total of five steps to get it in there, all 315lb of it. If you've seen the picture of him with the campervan he restored, you'll know he's a big lad, having played "tight end" for an amateur American Football team for nearly fifteen years, I'm only 12st. On completion of the job, we both had a beer. I said "Thank's for that."
    He replied, "No trouble, but you know it's staying here, don't you?"

    I remember these words any time I get the urge to buy another one I fancy.

    Thank you, Jazmine. You've got more than just a shed. It reminds me of a fancy beach hut, but why fill it with... dare I say it?... Junk! Ooops! sorry...:lollol: In truth, we should have named this thread, Men and women and their sheds, because I reckon that women can be just as inventive where finding a proper use for their sheds. I seem to remember a certain yellow shed with net curtains in its windows. What I wouldn't give to take a peek inside that one...Woo? Anyway, yours is crying out for something special to be done with it, Jazmine. All suggestions to be made on the back of a plain buff envelope.:hehe: Robert, your little movie will become a classic. For a moment at the beginning, the word... Timber... quickly sprung into my head. The Golden Globe award goes to, Capney productions, The Shed.:rotfl:

    :rotfl: at you Strawman. If I had my way it would be a fancy place to sit with a veranda, chairs and table! It would be furnished inside with girlie things not lawnmowers, spades and forks etc and I would invite my friends round to sit there with a glass of wine. :luv:

    However it is a shed and full of rubbish :lollol:

    I agree Strawman, this thread should be renamed to entice the ladies in.:D

    If you look carefully you'll see two big hooks near the top each side of the window in the door of our shed.
    These are to support a Nordor dartboard cabinet, which is occasionally used on summer evenings.
    (I thought I'd lower the tone a bit).

    Well not quite everything, but sometimes I get the impression my wife wouldn't mind if I did (Oh yes! and take the computer!)

    Right, Jazmine. When you have the grand opening ceremony, I have several bottles of wine from 1993/5 to celebrate the occasion. Mind you, there are no guarantees, 'cos it may taste like 2009 vinegar:hehe:
    Oh dear me, Doghouse, I can see that you're in a bit of a dilemma. Should I, or shouldn't I?:rotfl:
