The thread about people's sheds seems to have disappeared.
Here's a few interesting country sheds and their fascinating owners.

For the modern man who lives in the city, riding a bike might be one of the only ways to escape the humdrum monotony. To take off and ride. To be both at one with nature and one with the bike. To feel masculine. Adam Piggott

Dang.  I searched for "shed" every which way.  Forgot it was called "man caves".

Looking forward to retirement and a proper shed.  My 10 sq metre job just doesn't cut the mustard.

Biggles, don't be so quick to retire.
No annual holidays or leave loading
No sick leave or sick pay
No overtime
No public holidays

Like the advert says, people in retirement do what they like(or in reality what they are allowed)

Or even better...enjoy your job so much that the thought of not doing it seems weird and unsatisfying?

I have no idea how I found the time to go to work, so much to do now.

In the shed
1999 ST1100A
1971 CB750K2
1980 XV750
1977 GL1000
FR#720
CMRCWA #133
York,WA

So at what age does this "old enough to know better" kick in?
I believe in the "hereafter", every time I go to the shed I have to think "what am I here after"
