tiling the bathroom

Finding a contract....

We actually started calling a chap at one of the places I worked "Two Sheds", because whenever you told him you had something at home, he'd either have two, or a better one.

One of the sheds? Surely more than one shed is greedy!

Sheet, I still have a container full of stuff that I had packed and delivered to me ten years ago sat in the garden of one of my homes.

And don't talk of the sheds, one place has three in the garden.

Dont you have your butler tile the bathroom?

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

True. My loft is full of old bookkeeping, the garage is full of bicycles, tools, gardening stuff, an extra fridge for booze and all sorts of other crap. Maybe this is why people keep buying bigger and bigger houses? To store all the detritis they build up in life.

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...

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

she's becoming a bit of a snob since I went contracting.

I know the feeling

[Mich the Tester]

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.

How about something like this?

Would be very nice, but sadly too big for our modest little plot and in any case it would be declared "too nice" to allow me to keep tools and other manly items in it. Looks like I'm stuck out in the garage for the foreseable future.

[DS23]

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

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

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

I use the garage as a shed, and Mrs Tester doesn't like sheds; she finds them ugly and proletarian. I'm trying to sell the idea as a 'garden pavilion'; she's becoming a bit of a snob since I went contracting.
