The good thing about it being in the basement is that my wife can pretend it's not even there until it's done. Although she's coming around now that she realizes I intend to finish it. :wink: http://www.tikicentral.com/viewtopic.php?topic=28247&forum=18&102 |

I didn't know one could find bamboo at Home Depot. Great find and a very nice looking bar so far. |

It's in the fencing area. 4'x 6' roll for $49.95 I cut it to fit and now have 100 little bamboo sticks. I think I'll make wind chimes with them. |

A little stain. And cut some holes for the roof. Found some big poles for the trim but it was a chore since most where split in places. What is up with that? [ Edited by: Johnny Atomic 2009-04-24 09:59 ] |

Thanks! I have a postage stamp sized backyard but I didn't let it stop me. Of course my wife thinks I've completely lost my mind. But wives do that anyway. |

Whenever I see these sheds, I think about how it would be perfect to make a tiki hut of of them. If I didn't already have a hut this would be exactly what I would do. Keep us posted with progress pictures. |

There's a big trend now with converting sheds to "he sheds" or "she sheds." Kinda in the man cave genre. In England they call them pub sheds. |
