Sounds like this group definately belongs in the uk.structure - these
Americans don't understand. It's not a *real* shed unless the radio is
one of those dodgy valve thingies that Dad was going to mend in 1956
and got as far as taking the case off. You've found that it works fine
provided the speaker is tied to the wall with twine, and you place that
screwdriver, like so, between those resistors.

Sound quality superb, doubles as a heater.

Posted to u.n.n.c only cos I don't get the others. (Why do I feel I'm
missing something?)



Apply :-)'s with gay abandon.

Yeh, I've been round Toton, never could get in Stewart's Lane, as a 
third-rail electric shed it made some effort to keep itinerent
trainspotters out on safety grounds. My main stomping grounds were 
Willesden and Old Oak Common.

Depends what you mean by 'building'.  Accurate plans, or plans on paper 
bigger than the back of an envelope, or the purchase of materials 
specifically for use in building the shed are all a bit dodgy.

Ah but that is the whole point, there is nothing in a true shed worth 
nicking (the contents of a true shed only have value to a shed type 
person, not the little buggers who keep breaking into places and half 
inching the tv & video). I mean you won't buy much with the money raised 
from the sale of a shoe last will you.

He's been Tandied, more like.
A radio shed could be OK, if it was the right kind of radio - all humming 
valves and strange green glows, etc.  It would still be advisable for him to 
keep a few tins of 10 year-old half-used paint around though.  And a cobbler'
s last might make a great earth point, if you were lucky enough to have it 
fall partway through the floor.

This is truely frightening.  This last weekend I had a sort out and
as a result now have 15 half empty cans of paint and the like in my
"wall storage unit" or "poor man's shed" as it probably should be
described.  They range from a massive tub of woodstain to one of those
tiny pots used for painting model aircraft.  Bound to need that one
day....

Sheds have been discussed at great length now.  When is the vote going
to take place?  Somebody needs to get off their arse (or should that
be "stop trying to untangle that hoe, fork and spade from that bike, hose
and extension lead"?) and get it sorted..

Hear hear...

Looks like a fast-track would work for this one. Or maybe we could just rename u.n.n.c 
to uk.net.news.sheds. 

No-one would notice, would they?

I look forward to the formation of this group, as my new house (when we
finally get to move into it) has a glorious 12x15 foot shed halfway down
the garden, with an attached garden tools sub-shed. Truly magnificent it 
is, too, all smelling of old creosote and wood shavings.

Regards,

Paul.

I kept a count of the responses and there were no actual complaints, just a 
few joke ones, so I mailed Richard requesting a fast-track: if any of those 
complaints weren't jokes after all they can stomp on the fast-track.  But it 
looks like he's either a bit busy or he's not convinced it's serious!
In the meantime, most of the articles from s.c.b. and a jpg of a shed may be 
found at http://www.man.ac.uk/~zlsiida/sheds/
I'll eliminate the duplications and edit off all the boring headers sometime.
Maybe I'll even provide a proper tree structured index.  One day.

I've stayed out of the sheds argument, never having had a real one
myself <snif>, and the house I'm moving to in a few weeks didn't
have one in the back garden.

But imagine my joy at investigating my new house further, only
to find a fully-built, fairly solid, varnished & tarnished, *SHED*
.....in the cellar!

So I may yet join the sheddies, or I'll use it to grow illegal
substances. Watch this space.
