An Englishman's shed is his castle... so it needs protecting

Advantages: Simple to install, very loud and works very well indeed
Disadvantages: uses many batteries, shame it's not solar powered

...It?s a sad state of affairs but these days security is close to being top of many peoples priorities, be it personal security or making sure your property stays in your possession and not taken by some little toad who thinks getting a proper job and actually earning some honest cash is beneath them. Being safe and secure is very important in most people books, and trying to keep your personal property safe is paramount, especially with the cost of insurance sky rocketing every other day, and then, if the worst does happen, god forbid, actually getting your Insurance company to pay out for your loss. In fact, a lot of those insurance companies wont even cover certain parts of your property, such places like your garden shed or a garage which is not attached to your house. So, here I am to tell you about a cracking little alarm which...

Review of Kasp Wire Free Garage & Shed Alarm

Purchased 10x12 BillyOh Shed from them.

Advantages: Cheap. Not bad once built
Disadvantages: Poor cust service. Incorrect and missing parts

...Firstly let me just say upfront that I love the shed now it's built. I ordered the 10x12 and it was delivered in just 4 days from order by a great delivery guy. There are some things which need improving though. I ordered an additional opening window and it came with no hinges hinges, screws, or chain like the included opening window. Also I was supplied with a Light Truss instead of the Heavy Truss which the 10x12 instructions say I should have. I ended up modifying the light truss to be a heavy truss. The roof joists run to the edge of the roof panels which means you cannot make use of the tongue and groove in the roof panels as the joists butt up against each other. The roof itself did seem a little 'gappy' in places but once all the felt was on it wasn't a problem. The instructions were just about adequate although it would be...

Review of Garden Buildings Direct

A mini horse

Advantages: nice story
Disadvantages: /

...When I was younger I always had my nose in a book. Being the huge animal lover I was (and still am), I often chose to read books about animals. The Animal Ark book series by Lucy Daniels was very popular with me, and one of the titles was Shetland in the Shed Although you should never judge a book by its cover, I always do, so it is important that it looks quite good! The cover of this particular book is quite cute. There is a picture of a gorgeous looking little pony with its long bony face and windswept mane. Although the colours of the book cover are quite dull and not very uplifting there is still something attractive about it that drew me in straight away. The book itself is about Mandy Hope, whose parents are vets. They look after a girl named Polly, and with her she brings her shetland pony. Though it seems that Polly is...

Review of Shetland In The Shed - Lucy Daniels

Shed Rule

Advantages: Some life-altering experiences there: some of which will never be forgotten.
Disadvantages: United's decline began at the same time as the Shed was taken from us. It's no coincidence.

...You may be wondering just what the hell I'm about to write about, going by the title there. Well, sorry to tell you all, but it's another football op, but with a difference. I'm going to tell you all about what used to be the greatest place in the world - The Shed. Tannadice Park, Dundee. Home of Dundee United. Before the national scandal that was the Taylor Report, football grounds were vibrant, exciting places, with singing and dancing and general fun atmospherics, before the advent of the all-seater "safer" stadium destroyed this completely. Tannadice was no different. One of the smaller Scottish Premier grounds, United's home had an official capacity of 24,000, of which only 2,000 were seated. The rest of the ground was safe (I'll repeat that - SAFE) terracing, with the home and away supporters segregated at the halfway line: this...

Conflict and Blood Shed

Advantages: good acting, good plot
Disadvantages: bit too bloody at times

...this film, it starts off with footage around the time of the 1972 Olympics and this took me a while to get into it. It starts off slow to me but some may beg to differ. The parts at the start show us how much of a family man Anver is though and I'd say these are relevant. It took me a while to catch on to what was going on but once the team start to meet up it gets a bit clearer. The film was not my usual kind of pick, it was quite violent for me and don't watch this if you're squeamish as there is a lot of blood shed. Most scenes do have a purpose to be there and the plot wouldn't be as real without them but at times I did wonder if maybe the killing was a bit much and did it make them any better than the terrorists going around killing family men. The plot did show though that it is a scary world we live in and the kind of people...

Review of Munich (DVD)

Almost good enough to eat!

Advantages: awesome unique smell, nice texture, good scurbbing effect, nice design
Disadvantages: bad advice on the bottle, price

... Almost good enough to eat What is it? Today I am revieweing the "Vanilla & Orange Cookie Body Scrub" by The Beauty Shed. It seems to be fairly new - I couldn't find any information about it online. I bought it at Superdrug a month ago. It is a body scrub you can use under the shower for a nice peeling. The special things is the cookie scent! Why did I buy it? The label and its pastell colour caught my attention. When I read the label and realized it was cookie scented, I had to have it, After opening it and smelling it, it was clear that I had to get it. Packaging The body scrub comes in a clear tube made of slighter thicker plastic than comparable products (for example the Shower Smoothie by Radox). A pastell orange label is wrapped firmly around the tube. In bold, white capital letters it says "The Vanilla...

Whats It Like To Let The Feeling Flow

Advantages: 11 superb tracks, a good solid debut
Disadvantages: The last track is over 8 minutes long!!!

...Well I?m back from my 2 weeks sunning myself in another country and decided I should use my day off, as I couldn?t sleep, to write an op on Shed 7?s debut album Change Giver. The York band burst onto the scene with this album back in 1994 and instantly got themselves a loyal fan base with some cracking songs. The Band: Rick Witter: Vocals Tom Gladwin: Bass Paul Banks: Guitar/Keyboards Alan Leach: Drums The album opens with ?Dirty Soul?. It starts with a guitar building up and fading out with the odd drum beat in there and then really picking up before the vocals come in. The intro is quite long and as the first song on the album it is a great opener. A strong drum beat accompanied by some superb guitar playing and the vocals really are suited to this classic Indie song. A good track to sing along to whilst in the car...

Review of Change Giver - Shed Seven

Keter shed great for small places

Advantages: Size, durable, ease of installation, price
Disadvantages: None found yet

...We wanted to buy a shed for the garden which is not very huge, so didn't want a very big shed that will take away the free space... After looking on the internet for various options available - wooden, metal sheds etc decided to do got the Keter garden shed. The shed is now available in quite a few places - Wickes, Argos and Costco - all for £90 which is a very good price I would say for the shed. Packaging: The shed is packed in flat-pack, which didn't fit in back side of my Honda Civic (even after folding the rear seats) so we had to remove the packaging and load individual pieces of the shed in the car and get rid of the packaging right at the shop. Colour: Off-white sides and green top Dimension: External size (H)111, (W)148, (D)84cm Internal size (H)103, (W)136, (D)67.5cm Assembly: Assembly is quite straight...

Review of Keter Resin/Plastic Garden Furniture

A shed light that costs nothing to run

Advantages: Costs nothing to run
Disadvantages: You need to find a suitable place to site the solar panel

...I recently bought and erected a little log cabin for my garden which I am really pleased with but I thought it would be nice to have some lighting in there for those times when I want to go in there after dark and don't want to scrabble around with a torch. I wasn't keen to take electricity out there and in these days of greener options I thought it would be nice to look for something energy efficient. What could be better I thought than something solar powered? The shed has a pitched roof with one side of it facing South so I started to search the internet for something suitable. It didn't take me long to find just what I was looking for on Amazon - a handy solar 'utility' light at a cost of £17.99. Design features The solar light arrived within a couple days and it was simple to fit high on the wall of my little log...

Review of Proteam Utility Solar Light

Do you like my Thomas handbag Mummy?

Advantages: All packs away into a handy carrycase
Disadvantages: Hard to fit everything in!

...My son is Thomas the Tank Engine mad and wanted more or less every Thomas thing he could find for Christmas. You name it, he wanted it! So I knew he would be happy with what ever we decided to get him. We considered the various Thomas sets, as all that he had up to now was the my first Thomas vehicles, which he had grown out of. When we came across the Engine Work and Play Shed, I thought it was ideal. My son, Bradley, has loads of toys and not the biggest bedroom in the world to keep them all in, so storage is an issue. We have to consider that anything we buy him has to be kept somewhere. That meant that the road and rail collection were out of the question, much to his Dad's disappointment! This particular toy is part of the take along collection. This means that all the toys do exactly what they say on the tin, they can be...
