I have my own place 3 bedrooms and on the few occasions I make anything I just do it wherever I think appropriate. Mostly in the kitchen. I won't take a picture of that because I can't post then on here and besides the kitchen needs tidying up too. Sinks full of dishes and emptied cans of pop lying around ready to be made into something stovie and meths burning. Oh and gear too. Not quite workshop type of stuff but I have my gear wherever I want it to be. That usually means the first bit of floor near my front door that is not in the way. My tarp is on the sofa in my dining room and my camp mat is behind the chair in a bedroom. Half my rucksacks are in the dining room and my only real concession to putting htings away properly is my meths goes under the kitchen sink and my sleeping nags/quilts go into large storage bags beside a wardrobe. Also some of my rucksacks have their innards removed so if I want to put the frame back on them I have no idea where they are.

Sorry but I can't join in the workshop thing properly so I went off topic.

Sounds pretty much like a shed to me...

Dont apoligise mate,..

A description of your shed is just fine,...

Altho the picture i have now created in my mind is that of Mr Trebus' house.

No offense meant, i,m just that little bit envious that your house IS your shed,....

why is the the tarp on the couch, do you have a leak?

why cant you post pictures? i'd love to see the place now you painted the picture...

Alas, as much as I'd like to, I can't join this glorious thread...

The place me and the misses rent has a shed, but it's full of the owners crap and we're not allowed to chuck it out :(, otherwise I too would have a manly area to show off.

At the moment I have to cover the dining table in old news-paper and a cutting board before I even think about doing anything :rolleyes:

Raikey - it was found in the rear footwell of my car so I put it on the couch to dry off completely. That was about a month and a half ago. You sound surprised, don't you dry off your tarps and tents on the couch too? It is an old couch in the dining room which is really just something to dump things on after a tiring trip.

I am about to commence a major tidy up soon (saying that for 5 months now). I have lost some gear and my camera phone cable so I need a big tidy up to find things again. Ain't that the way? You have to make things tidy so you can find them. I've always relied on organised chaos before now but is hasn't worked of late. Thinking of getting a new central heating boiler and radiators put in so I need to make sure all the floor space can be reached. <ashamed smillie>

I do wish I had the money for a work shed and the mindset to use it well. Tools too.
 
well ths was last year when i finished putting in the machine bench ( wicks kitchen cupboards ;) ) so its very tidy

Maybe I'll revisit this thread over Christmas with a few pics of the set up at home. - most of it is all related to my dads business but i have the use of it all :D
big old garage with the forge and stuff, work bench etc. - then the unit with two lathes, cnc milling machine etc etc :p

isn't there a law against land lords doing that?

Cover dining room table with newspapers and a cutting board? Now that is a good idea. Why have I never thought of that.
