It's got an ensuite, walk in wardrobe and a room for SWMBO's shoes. Tbf we haven't seen upstairs yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onoff Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 I like the term cabin. I always chuckle the way Centre Parcs refer to their "villas". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Jimbo Posted August 31, 2020 Author Share Posted August 31, 2020 Right you lot. I told planning (who are a pain in the butt) that it's a shed. So it is not a Villa, Cabin, or 1 bed house. It's a bloody shed. Just happens to be a posh shed OK. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferdinand Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 (edited) I thought he meant the Millennium Dome (MD otherwise stands for Mandelson's a Dope *) where the teenyboppers (or aspirational or once-upon-a-time teenyboppers) go to .. er .. bop, but I see that the Excel Centre does look exactly like a larger than average shed. No links are drawn with any other sheds or not-sheds that may or may not feature in this shed-thread. (Looking forward to seeing a North Korean Agent tumbling down the roof of BJ's shed in the next JB film.) * Though of course he isn't. He was dubbed Lord Mandelbrot a lot of years ago for very good reasons. Edited September 6, 2020 by Ferdinand 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pocster Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 (edited) I don’t think it’s a shed at all . Something else going on here I reckon .

Ferdinand Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 (edited) BTW what happens if you get your dual planning permission, will you be building another one for next door? (I think you are the one waging a war of attrition on the planners to build two somethings smaller ?) (Signs off thread to go and put washing out). (For the record, it looks very nice.)

There is no law as far as i know, as to how posh a shed can be. when finished it will have cost me £13.5 grand. When i knock the house, it can be used for on site tool storage. I figure that when i sell the gaff, i should get my money back, as the posh shed, can be used as an office, gym, hobby space, gaff for an aged parent, visitors short term stay area, sex den, etc, etc, and i had enough trouble getting through planning to knock the bungalow at 600sq ft, and replace with 4 bed, 4 bath house of 2500sq ft. it just would have been a straw too much for the camel. Even if it won't get me my money back, it should make the house more saleable. Edited September 6, 2020 by Big Jimbo missed a bit 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F Gave up Ferd.... I am just going to build the One new house now. It will be too big for me, so the idea is to build, flog, and bugger off. To be honest, i will prob make more money doing just the One. I wanted to do Two, because it would have been better for society in my opinion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
