    Mrs DAG saw the pictures and commented:

    "I never realised how normal you are, until I saw that lot!" :D :D :D

    Paladin, just thinking about how those ancient Egytian kings were buried with all their treasures, is this what you have in mind? :D ;)

    It's not the bottles that bothers me, its that ARP style hat, the shackles above it, and the 2 prong implement on the ceiling above it!

    What is going on in there? :D :D :D ;)

    I'll take some closeups of the stuff..never know I might find a buyer.
    Pete,that large brown block on the right by the golf clubs in the last pic is a lump of Teak..40 years old at least.

    Bit of the old tectona grandis eh.
    What are you thinking of making out of it?
    I think you have started something here.
    We should all rush out tomorrow and take a pic of our sheds, no tidying, just as they are.
    What do you think?
