That approach is probably a *bit* cheaper than moving house. Think: Mid-Terrace (1780s stone cottage) backing on to locomotive tracks (turns out to be Cheltenham to Paddington line) at the back and l...

Why did chemical warfare get to the point where there's a global lock down Oh, the scope for nut job conspiracy theories ..... but that's what Facebook is for.

I also have a shitty flimsy shed with no solid floor or walls (or power). Seriously @rashdown_online - if you've got the space to put up a decent shed, then dunsterhouse do a big range of buildings, ...

@rashdown_online It’s the ONLY reason to move house... It's crap. I have a BNIB Triton router, a bunch of templates and various tools. But I also have a shitty flimsy shed with no solid floor or wall...
