Thats not how you pull a shed down... (pics)

What the OP missed in his opening post, and makes it even better, is that the *actual* reason for burning the shed down was just to remove the bench vice from the shed. Taking the inverse route, namely removing the shed from the bench vice, is a stroke of genius.

Which I think gives him an unassailable lead in the '2012 PH Overkill Competition'. Bravo sir.

excellent stuff sir!

my mum has two sheds that need pulling down this summer! one standard 8x6 and one about double that!

may have to burn them down!

[Asterix]

I'd have done the same, fire is so useful! I think my ring might have been twitching a little with the proximity of those trees but that's what hoses are for

You can probably expect much of the surrounding foliage to die back soon as it will have been killed by the fire/smoke.

I'd say it's a bonus!

This has had the wife and me in stitches!! You Sir, are a legend!

This thread deserves, nay, needs wider exposure on PH!

I second that

Many years ago when I still lived my parents their next door neighbour decided it was time for the stables built by his predecessor to go. Out came the crowbar, sledge hammer etc but of course a stable is designed to keep a horse in, and tend to be well built with 6 inch nails etc.

So the standard demolition route was quickly abandoned. Being a stable it was still full of straw, so a match was struck. Minutes later it was a roaring inferno. Neighbour had his hose out spraying it on his house, where the wooden windows were scoching, my parents had their hose trying to prevent the shed going up.

Then there was the discovery that the roof was made from asbestos sheet which was happliy exploding!

A great day!

Thank you OP, I haven't genuinely burst out laughing like that at a thread in ages. Genius!

Please frame that 'arty' shot for your in laws. And buy the FIL a beer or three

One of those things where, if you get away with it, you're a hero. But bloody hell.

[Rowan138]

excellent PH man maths was applied here
old shed + fire = no shed and bench vice

[pingu393]

I have an alter ego on another forum (DangerousDave). He'd have loved this. Brilliant.

As said, improvements for next time - flame thrower start and sausages on sticks

[escortwagon]

There was me thinking I was dead 'ard destroying old sofas with hatchets in my youth.

Top effort, I hope you cooked things on it!
