What have you in your barn/shed (chickens1968)chickens1968Moderator Joined: 20 Mar 2006 Posts: 315 Location: Gloucestershire Posted: 02 Apr 2006 08:47 pm Post subject: What have you in your barn/shed -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks Jessie for the new section I hope I dont get carried away with posting though!!! Before you throw it away, check its not worth something!! did you know that even tractor/plough spanners are collectable, your old root chopper or feed mill is now an arty garden ornament, cast iron troughs sell for silly money at farm sales. The vintage tractor scene is growing fast and the prices are soaring even a small bit of a tractor could net you some cash, vintage ploughs are stupidly expensive. an old fergie farm trailer with no sides or floor left could reach up to £150 or a decent one £700 _________________ http://www.freewebs.com/chickens1968/ Back to top Paula Seedling Joined: 04 Mar 2006 Posts: 137 Location: norfolk Posted: 02 Apr 2006 08:52 pm Post subject: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- what's in mine JUNK but OH says handy stuff plough bits etc etc b-----y farmers, i just want the animals !!!!!!!!! _________________ Living life to the full. http://www.freewebs.com/farmandcountrychildren/ www.norfolkrarebreedscentre.com Back to top nanny Evergreen Joined: 19 Feb 2006 Posts: 522 Location: deepest suffolk Posted: 02 Apr 2006 09:04 pm Post subject: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- i know very well what's in my shed............ the washer, the dryer, the freezer, a usable sink, the food bins for the animals, a cupboard with the decorating materials, the tins of paint that i use from time to time, the recyclable stuff, my wellies, a feed bin with coal in it, kindling, the puppy cages that we use to transport animals, an old fish tank that we should be getting rid of, 3 cat basket/transporters, one of those old carbuoys that used to be used for acid i believe, my bicycle, his fishing gear, an old curtain rail, my turkey saddles...all as neat and tidy as possible but what is im mr nanny's shed is and will always be a complete mystery to me _________________ pass the udder udder to my udder brudder and i'll pass the udder udder this -a -way Back to top Kathy Moderator Joined: 15 Feb 2006 Posts: 1008 Posted: 02 Apr 2006 09:06 pm Post subject: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ah that explains it, you have your very own shed Nanny. _________________ Take care Kathy Back to top chickens1968 Moderator Joined: 20 Mar 2006 Posts: 315 Location: Gloucestershire Posted: 02 Apr 2006 09:11 pm Post subject: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I have a combination padlock on my garage and my OH dosnt have the number!!!!

That shed is due to come down as OH wants a small one so that I can't fill it up with more 'junk'. But I do have another shed that I have turned into my own room. Heating, lighting, floor covering, curtains, table and chairs (2nd hand so couldn't resist them for a working area), wooded futon bed, (bungalow so tiny that people have to sleep out there if the spare bedroom is in use). I also have stashed most of my hobbies stuff in there too! Oh I have a phone and my son bought us walkie talkies for Christmas, just cheapo toy type ones, so that OH can buzz me if he wants to tell me anything - but he keeps forgetting to take his finger off after he has spoken so can't hear my reply! _________________ I am at that purple age!

I've got two sheds, the one at home is full to bursting point of bicycles, straw for the hens, soapmaking stuff, lawnmower and all the bits for the garden. The other shed is at the allotment and isn't too bad, it gets untidy sometimes but I tend to keep it neat most of the time.
