To start the story off, I bought my house about 6 years ago.
I had lived here quite happily for a while when I decided that the bit of land at the side of my house (that I own) could be better used to build a smallish shed on to house some bits and pieces..
A few months go by and I manage to borrow or salvage materials from work to do the project (I am a chippy by trade).
The build starts, I lovingly set out my shed for the concrete slab to be poured ect, ordered the 2 cube metres of super slab mix for the base (I had the idea to secure anything valueable to the floor by ground anchors).
3 days later I have my shed....
Its 18 feet long 9 feet wide and just under 9 feet to the highest point of the roof.
I have built a lovely home for my toys its walls and roof are 6 inches thick, it has 5 inches of insulation, there is power and heating, non slip vinyl flooring, a solid 2 hour fire door (took some finding) with 5 top security rated locks in the door and is alarmed with the rest of my house.
It is the perfect shed/fortress for my dirtbikes, mountain bikes, generators and tools ect...
Now I come to my point.
Thanks for bearing with me here...
Jenn, my lovely wife to be, has just moved in with me.
She doesnt mind me going away for weekends with the lads dirt biking, paintballing ect and has even been known to come to races with us without being under duress
But when she suggested "maybe getting rid of a bike or two to make room for the tumble dryer and a freezer" in my boys palace outside I got a bit defensive :shock:
Am I doing the right thing??
Is it time to get a new future wife??
Or am I just being a little to over possesive of my toys??
