Is my shed shrinking???

[AndyM78]

It occured to me last night as i struggled to get all 4 bikes in the shed that it must have shrunk over our wet n miserable summer so i have 2 options, loose some of the bikes or get a bigger shed.....B & Q here i come!!B)

Good luck - I've been playing the 'I really need a bigger bike shed' card with Mrs B all summer / autumn and she counters it with the 'But I don't need a smaller garden' card!

keep one in the house as it "won't fit in the shed". that'll teach her…

Maybe there's an opening for 2 story sheds?!?

put her in the shed and take the bike to bed

Tried the 'cycle maintenance in the kitchen' ploy, but since it's been redecorated that's a no-no.

Tried the 'Hmm... that roof felt on the old shed is looking a bit grim... not worth renewing it really... doesn't owe us much, that old shed... cheaper to buy a new one really' but she saw through that.

I'm currently going with the tactic of getting oil on my clothes whenever I go in the shed 'because there isn't room to move in there'.

I could do with a new bike...you could give me one of yours - would be an excellent way of freeing up some shed space!!!

Get one of those lean-to thingys for putting non-bike stuff in. Freed up a lot of room in my shed!

I think part of the problem is that her three bikes have to share a shed with assorted garden equipment whereas my three have their own, smaller shed which also has to double as winter workshop (which entails moving 2 bikes outside and chucking a tarp over them to give me room to work).

Maybe what I need isn't a replacement shed, it's another shed...



Andy - while you're at B&Q...

That's what my dad did. Two sheds.

Why not make a Bike Tree like this guy did .......
http://www.instructables.com/id/Bike_Tree/ ... and was kind enough to document.

You could make an 'outdoor' one with a bit of weatherproofing on it

Just imagin the joy on your good ladys face when she gets home from work to find the kitchen floor covered in wood shaving and you saying "Look what i've made love, we rarely eat at the dining table anyway!!"

I can see the divorce papers as well!

Maybe I could buy smaller bikes?
