Worryingly civilised I'd say, it might start having to be 'tidy' in case 'someone comes to visit' and the patch of oil from the motor sump might attract negative attention.

Methinks it is not a shed.

I agree with you, definitively a lack of storage shelves ,bins etc and far too twee. The round shape would mean it is difficult to put shelves up and not having an odd corner to stack those things you don't know where to keep for a decade or so would be highly inconvenient. And precious few places for the spiders to hide. The fact that the shed I let large hairy Arachnids roam unmolested is a major factor in keeping the missus out of My shed.

See Buckminster Fuller and the Dymaxion House.

LOL, does that surprise you? Nothing surprises me about the internet these days...... Must admit, the "shed" has a sort of rustic charm to it, but way too pricey for me. Badger.

Mine is being held together by English Ivy which the State of Oregon is about to declare Illegal!

You'll have to claim grandfather rights for it!

The message from "LDosser" contains these words:

Tell 'em English ivy has been around a bl**dy sight longer than Oregon.

uk.rec.sheds has been around since May 1996. It's my favourite froup. Guy

Not in Oregon, it's a non-native plant, and damn invasive.

The message from Wolf K contains these words:

It's invasive here, too. You control it (in the garden) by pulling it out - pruning/cutting makes it grow faster. Trouble is that "official" workers use mechanical tools with blades...

I suppose ivy is the Oregon version of the Japanese knotweed over here.

But are not all plants are non-native as are humans. Just a question of when and by what means they arrived ?

Cheers, Simon

The spiders in our shed carry their own spade to hit you back with !
