My apprentice and I spent a couple of hours digging out a 20'x10' shed slab for a stock room to keep everything we could ever need in. It's going to be the best stock room in the world once it's finished. But right now my back hurts from digging. The missus said one of the conditions was I wasn't allowed to wreck our lawn with a mini-digger if I wanted it in the back garden :(

Is it sad to be excited about having a really big shed??

The apprentice suggested I deck it out with shagpile carpet, a large LCD TV, X-Box and a beer fridge instead. I think he has a point!
 
.......just buy ply boards to lay to drive the machine over......".........

He may have a point there!! we all need somewhere to go and wind down!!
 
I did think about the plywood but to be honest: -

A - It's good exercise digging.
B - I still had to remove a nailed in fence panel which looked like it had been nailed in with coffin nails.
C - I reckon there is only about 6 hours of digging work in it.

Mini diggers are good fun though. It means I will finally have my garage back too which is rather exciting.

Going to be able to stock a range of soil pipe fittings and everything. In theory I should never need to run to the merchant again for a part right??

theory's excellent in practice its sods law
 
Make it as big as you can, pitched roof as steep as you can, have the top as a hideaway :)
tv, fridge and mattress :)
 
it was great being young, I even dug all the foundations for a house extension fot the terror in law years back, all the soil went down the garden onto an old railway embankment. I had even planned it to be big enough for a full size snooker table for the future :) . I must have really loved the mrs back then, still do really but god that was hard work being clay.
 
Just looking at all that digging makes my back twinge :lol:.
I'm sure it'll be a beauty dude :)
