Have to say I particularly like the shed. Top work!

Thanks, it closes in the deck area nicely having things on three sides

This thread just keeps delivering. I'm currently stuck in a rental but once I get back on the property horse (donkey at this point) I think a lot of your ideas are mega cool. Also loving the art-deco, V&A style stuff. Would certainly be different where I live, would all have to be inside as planning are tts

Here's my latest project in between working on the car....

Fantastic

I saw it lurking in the shed on Instagram and wondered where you got it. Should have guessed it was handmade!

Absolutely love all that! The sign looked amazing! Also, you must have an endless supply of licence plates...

Hey OP, loving your work. What kind of paint did you use on the uPVC window frame in your shed please? Looks great.

Love the 1960's iMac

Joking aside some of that stuff is just timeless, it's not stuck the 1960's it just never dated.

The sign is really impressive, where are you going to put it?

Indeed, I think everyone in that article says they prefer life today just like to aesthetic of old. We have loads of tech in the house, it's certainly not a museum.
