Why is it ALWAYS the case that.....

My HOUSE is my man-cave ! I am one of those unusual/strange people who actually quite enjoys living on my own. Tried the alternative a few years ago; she did my head in and I was glad to get back to the man-cave again! Do what I like, when I like .....

Sounds like a recurring dream of mine

sounds almost bliss

but what about things like washing up , cooking , ironing , hoovering surely us Men cant do those jobs as well

Washing up? Proper food comes in its own containers which go straight in the bin.
Cooking? See above!
Ironing? It comes out about once a year. Got a job which doesn't require dressing up. Body heat soon irons out T shirts.
Hoovering - once a month whether it needs it or not!



(Some of the above may have been said in jest).

Do yourself a favour ...

Replace the normal hinges with beefier items & use coach bolts too.

I wouldn't have a window personally in a shed containing high value items, just preference.

You might also find that a bit of internal strengthening of the framework pays dividends & provide a little extra peace of mind ....

& buy a shed alarm.

Of course you may have thought of all these things already.

Agree with most of the above, except the window. I reckon if they can see in and all they see is a well protected bike with a ground anchor then they might move on and break into the neighbour's shed!
Even if they get the bike out of the shed, their journey of hurdles is only just beginning. Good luck to them negotiating the corner between the boundary wall and gable end of the building - it's a very tight right angle manouevre even with the help of the engine running. They also have a set of ladders they will need to unlock from between two metal poles before that......

If I could figure out a way to get it up a narrow flight of stairs with a 90 degree turn to access them, I wouldn't be building a shed!

Nowt wrong with the kitchen or sitting room is there? As long as it doesn't block the view of the telly or prevent you from reaching for another beer

Problem being I live in a FLAT; so the whole thing is up the flight of stairs!

Ah so. Never mind @Brandane. I can't win them all
