Shedhenge
We worked on putting a wooden pergola (ooooooooooh, how POSH!) around the shed since it's so visible from the canalside and towpath. So, here's the progress of the Shedhenge!
The shed before the new enclosure
OMG, you can get them in a DIY bundle! Is that how they did the one down in Salisbury?
Holy cow, there's more to it? Where's the instructions, and why are they in runes?
Just in time for the summer solstice, however a bit more room for frolicking around the posts would have been nice! Where did the druids go?
Just a lick of paint, a few more screws and it's Margarita time in Yorkshire!
Oh, I forgot. Proof there really is a Mike! Yes, he's wearing protective glasses, you just can't see them from that angle.

Too cosy for Mike to share! *sniff*
I may have to get my own shed if I want to make glass beads. At least he works in there every day which is good! He's finished the new ventilation box too which he's really happy with.

Love it! Love it! Love it! Mike looks like a handsome man from the back (any man in a tropical shirt is). I want a shedhenge, too! Where's the canal? Where's the boat?

Thanks, JC. Come on over and I'll make him turn around. He's really nice for a guy. You can't see it well but the avatar pic is us out on the boat over Easter.
Here's a pic of my guys two years ago, just fishin' up on the Montgomery canal in Wales.
And here's the boat in winter:
Yup, it does look that long when you're standing on the stern and trying to see around a bend of the canal or through a bridge hole.

Su do you live on this boat? If so is the shed on the dock right outside the boat? That is a cool shed I really like that.

Yes we do, it's been our home for almost 8 years now. The shed's just to the right of the walkway in the pic of the boat in the snow.
We love it. It's great, almost 3000 miles of canals from here to London and back.

Geez and I thought manuvering our 35' RV around corners was tough! That is seriously cool. My best friend and his wife plan on moving onto a boat as soon as their son leaves home. Though not a barge style, more of a big sail boat. We still haven't figured out how they're gonna make beads on a sail boat....

Do you think we could paddle ourselves there in a double kayak?

It's going to take a few days to get there via bike. First have to get my front tire fixed but after that I'm on my way.

OMG Su that is so cool! Can we see pictures of the inside of your barge? Do you take it along the canal often?

I've only got a few pictures of the inside, we're doing some remodelling so everything's a mess but here's a pic of the place where my laptop lives:
Here's the boat in the ice before we put up the SH*D:
And here's the elusive Mike on the boat in a lock just up canal from our home:
That's a cast iron Victorian railway bridge that is still in use now, trains every half-hour between Manchester and York.
-Su
PS, it's a narrowboat as it's only 7' wide, barges are 14'. Luxury! I'd kill sometimes to have that double width. But then I'd have to wear those weird Cleopatra outfits.

I wouldn't imagine it's that hard to make beads on a sailboat, you just have to wait till the waves calm down!
Oddly enough, my younger sister just bought a sailboat to live on in Milwaukee. I think she's just a copycat. At least we don't get the same kind of waves on the canals, although the winter gales up here in the Pennines are pretty wild sometimes. I was genuinely worried that the shed would blow away last year.

70' long by 7' wide. A good portion of the British canal system allows one boat this size maximum per lock, some sections allow two boats to share side-by-side. Either way, it's great fun.
It's our home, a two-bedroom cottage that floats, really.

Thanks! I was a bit dubious about trying to travel alone on a 55' boat on my own which is what I did for six months on my first trip to the UK. It turned out to be like living with another being, as the boats make noises and seem to breathe. On a hot, sunny morning the steel expands and makes the wood panelling creak, the sun ripples off the water and makes moire' patterns on the ceiling.
And if you get bored of the neighbors, you can untie, travel a few miles and get away from everyone and everything.
