Welcome to the official opening of Granddads' shed

I have come visiting with an offering of cake, can I come in?

We've just opened a bottle of chilled white. Can we offer anyone a glass?

GoT, come on in, pull up a ???? woops no chairs yet :-(

I dont mind sitting on the floor, but might need a hand getting up later when I have seized up

I think we all have that problem, I blame the wine.

Me to tjs

.....and to think I've just taken a couple of old carpets to the tip!

I've got a couple of old camping chairs you can use.....

Here's a couple of bean bags and, for the winter, I really do recommend installing a wee wood-burning stove.

HEY !!!!! BTC welcome to the shed. Good start 2 camp chairs, 2 bean bags and a bunch of friends.

I found this bottle of vintage champagne in the cellar, thought you could use it

Just found your posh shed! Would love to pop in from time to time. Could you do with a small folding table? A bit rickety, but strong enough to bear the weight of a few cans or glasses

Do we need a fridge for the wine. Does it have electricity?

Good point GrannyT. If it doesn't have electricty, can any of the Granddads set up a windmill thingy on the shed roof with a solar widget to generate electricity?

Congratulations grandads. I've been out all day and missed the grand opening, but better late than never; here I am with teabags, mugs and camping stove. When the rain's drumming on the roof you just can't beat a nice hot cuppa!

ah so this is where the grandads have been hiding :-)

Tin of biscuits coming through, on a wheelbarrow! All home-made (except the wheelbarrow and the tin).

The progress of this thread is quite amusing. Tjs launches a shed for the Granddads and appeals for contributions to kit it out.....lots of Grans pop in with bits and pieces (nesting?)......but no sign of other Granddads.

Are they're waiting to find out if there will be any gran-free days in the shed what brand of tea is on offer?

Oh tjs this shed is surely a sight to behold. I was expecting a rickety ramshackle structure, but I am totally overwhelmed at its beauty.

Who performed the 'ribbon cutting' at the opening ceremony?

Please could I request that you take down that calendar. I have brought you this Gardeners' World Calendar, which I feel will be far more appropriate to the setting.

I know one granddad who has been posting on Gransnet and Mumsnet so I'll send him along.
He has a lot of old books - can he bring these too?

Just found the new shed, after registering with Gransnet. Sounds a brilliant idea, We should invite the grannies to tea sometime, but they might need to bring the cakes !!

ROFL, they don't need invite, they have been in & out like a fiddlers elbow (bringing cakes etc.) They are very welcome.

oh, I missed the opening!
And I see you have a table, seating, biscuits, drinks ... what else could you want? How about some stuff to mend???? I have a garden fork where one prong has been caught up under something and it's bent out of shape, can you hammer it back in line with the others pretty please? .... I'll top up the teabags and biscuits when you've made your way through that lot!
