My garden shed needed a little remodeling.

[Mad Scientist]

My garden shed was starting to show its age so about a month ago I decided it was time to fix it up a bit. From the pictures you will note that there is a maple tree next to it, that tree did not exist when I built the shed. However it self planted itself and then proceeded to grow. Early on I was going to pull it out but was informed that it was a “nice little tree and I should leave it”. Well it obviously continued to grow some and since then and it got to the point where it was caving in the side of the shed. :eek: Clearly there is no way I could save the old shed I needed to tear it down and build a new one.

Now I could have just copied the old design or even done the unthinkable and just gone out and bought a new one. But what’s the fun in that, plus I would then end up with a typical generic garden shed. So I decided to design my own and do something a little different. This is the result.

Given any thought to a moat?

Might be better off with a goat.:)

It is a little hard to see in the picture but there is a moat in front. Although the killer attack goldfish have not arrived yet.:rolleyes::)

No goats they will eat the shed. Perhaps a sheep or two or very tiny horses. Gary

We've hated our shed since we bought the house 17 years ago. It's Dutch and the rest of the house is definitely not. We put a new roof on it 2 year ago, and that helped.

Last year I did a FLLW rip-off to the doors and painted the rest. I find it tolerable now.

I like the doors. Very Frank Lloyd Wright looking.

Total rip-off. That pattern repeats itself frequently in our home. Most noticeably
in the staircase and front windows of the house.

Rich, You need a dragon peeking out from behind. :D

[Barry Wolk]

He's got one in the moat. How may dragons can one castle support?

I believe that's a Gargoyle, not a dragon.

[Mad Scientist]

Yes, and with a broken chain no less.;)

awsome shed. Next a garage/shop to match???????;)

[Mad Scientist]

Well my shop is in the basement so I guess that might be considered a dungeon.

I never tire of looking at your shop pictures. Although, it looks like I would hit my head a lot down there. :D
