    I have a similar problem. Having forked out to get the garden done proffesionally MrsB now refuses to allow me to have a shed in it. She says it will spoil it

        excellent vision! how long before it becomes full of stuff?

        and when it does - you can always get another shed.

            My garage is full of stuff (not including a car). I have one small garden toolshed, also full of stuff. I thought of getting another shed, then came to my senses and realised what would happen to it.

              What, Mrs Expat would commandeer it as a luncheon room for her friends?

                  did the tiling but never even got to the shed - let alone the painting.

                  dang basin half-pedestal wouldn't fit so i had to take it back. decided to make one out of mdf instead.

                  shed and paint tomorrow then.

                    Stuff expands to fill the space available. Have less space, it's the only way to have less stuff.

                      I'm after one of these;

                      I reckon you could get them to make a half shed / half garden room one. Now that would get past the mrs no problem...
