Yes, there’s an offer on an 18v Makita combi drill at the back;)

I reckon sheds that look like giant smartphones would sell well. The iShed.

I love the pricing of the fence panels: 2' is15s/9d while the 3' is a flat 19 bob. You'd have thought they would have rounded them all up for the sake of thruppence.

Thread wasn't what I expected content wise - you been clearing out your loft Wolfie?

Here you go, not sure if prices have gone up but worth a phone call. Not sure if they’re fireproofed with asbestos or if that’s an extra. Also, imagine having a DIY kitchen showroom situated in the middle of Mayfair in 2024

Next door neighbour is having a clear out at her late parents house, thought this would be up my street: she was right!

Don’t you just hate the convenience and mundanity of buying a fridge from a reputable supplier, knowing it has gone through a multitude of checks to comply with all known international safety standards? Instead, why not build your own fridge? Who doesn’t want that frisson of excitement you’ll get wondering if you’ll get a belt off the fking thing every time you touch it? Order now from Carnaby street(!) to avoid disappointment.


More shed porn…

Thanks!

Did people cook on open fires back then? Or perhaps people rich enough to afford fitted kitchens could eat out every night.

That's the sort of thing you'd find in student accommodation in the 1980s.

The magazine is 1958 AD not BC so yes, they did have cookers

There's already a thread about iShed. I bought a 150k 20 year old Volvo.
