still alive and kicking

 Hi all

Normal service will resume shortly

2021 and Still here, with new shed

I’m still here. Still Gaming. Still sorting out the crap. Still working on the new shed. 

Bob was happy to see the new shed.


Bob was happier when the carpet went down .


The table is in and on wheels so 



The shed is now finished, but is now full off junk I need to sell off. Several games have been played. So come spring I shall do a video of what the new shed looks like inside. But for now I’ll leave you with a seasonal picture.


Happy 2021 may you get your gaming done

Shed no more

The title says it all 

Shed has gone, this is where it stood and so has everything as well in side it . Wargaming in the shed is no more...

One Vivaro Van being loaded

One Vivaro van loaded, I walked 1.5 miles loading it, according to my phone.

Well that's it, a decade on and the shed has gone. First shed went up in 1995 a 10x8, Then a 10x10 arrived in 2000.
2020 and Covid saw not only an increase n my interest in my hobby, catching up on lots of painting, but it also led to a decrease in my mental health as I had acquired/made so much stuff I ran out of space. This was bought on by not enough space and too much stuff to move to do anything. With the weather not allowing me to strip out the shed and re-pack, I made the decision that it had to go. 

Several purchases of new boxes and things were boxed ready for transport. Don't worry to much, it went into storage. And its not the end of my Shed either as a new one arrives on the 21st.

A new 12x12 is coming, the extra 2 feet will allow me to fit extra storage in, and allow for me to use pop up tables to make the main table bigger up-to a maximum of 8x6 feet.

The bigger table will also stir memories of playing large Napoleonic games in my uncles shed when I was a kid (He had a 12x10 shed with a 8x6 table).

This will be my last shed purchase, unless I have a win on the lottery. So this one will be done out to a more professional standard.Lessons learnt from my last sheds insulation will be implimented.

So watch out for the new home soon.
Regards
J
