Quick question (about a shed that I have asked about before), I want to use a garden shed to be able to store some valuables made from paper (books, magazines etc.) that I have collected and spent quite a bit of money on. Because it gets cold in the shed itself, I want to make sure to insulate it to ensure that I do not damage the goods inside. what type of material I should use to insulate the floor, walls, and roofs? I have read elsewhere that I might want to consider a heat source because without it, the insulating of my shed would do very little. Does anyone know if this is true or not? I would really appreciate ant feedback on the matter.

Depends on whether you think that you could let this go without doing anything about it? Even if I don’t get on with them, I would be unable to get it out of the back of my mind later on. I would always feel as though I had done wrong, and by the time I realized that, it might be a bit too late.

That sounds absolutely horrible, but at least I think we can take solace in the fact that he died rather quickly. Those are no joke at all. It is just a shame to have someone lose their life like that, such a senseless accident. Hope the family is doing ok in such a tragic time.

I am not so much thinking about how to stop it, but what on earth makes someone want to swing around a chainsaw like a lunatic? I have found myself being extra careful when there are people right close to me – let alone swing it around in some pub. I swear, some people…

I honestly hope that they are going to ban him for the rest of the World Cup and even the first half of the season. I cannot imagine being a Liverpool fan now, you have arguably the best striker in the world and he is absolutely mental – biting players THREE TIMES!

Hey everyone, having recently acquired a rural property, I would like to add onto an existing shed that is already on the property. Keep in mind that I did not make the original shed, but it still looks sturdy to me. It is structurally sound is what I am trying to suggest. I want to add a freestanding structure as my new addition. I intend to use trim work to marry this new addition into the older existing shed. Considering that both roofs have a different height and pitch, I have been told that this is going to allow the overall design to be much stronger and much more more rigid. I would like to use my new shed (or improved shed, however you want to call it) as a storage space for some equipment and use it as a workshop. Is there anything that I need to know about that I might not be considering? I consider myself somewhat handy, but I am no carpenter, contractor, or house builder. If there are any factors that you think I should be paying specific attention to, please do not hesitate to let me know. Thank you for any suggestions or hints that you might be able to give.

That is absolutely terrifying to think about. Those last few seconds would be hell, knowing that whether you are going to make it or not, something is not going to be right later. I hope that his family and friends have since made peace with the loss, horrible news still.

I think that most people here have some solid advice. You want to be able to get some experience under your belt so you can have something that you can point to – to make your mark in the industry if you will. I would highly recommend that you follow similar paths like that.

I would vouch for this as well. It feels comfortable and it really does the job. I have found mine to be quite durable as well which is expected. It sounds like most people are agreeing that this is in fact a good investment and worth the money.

Honestly, there is nothing that you can say that is going to take away someone’s pain for losing a loving animal like that. I hope that you feel better knowing that you gave as much love as you received in return. It has been a few years since I have lost my old boy (Irish setter) but I can still feel it…best of luck to you and sorry for your loss.

OK so I am not completely useless with my hands, but I certainly would not consider myself a master builder either. The wife has decided that we need a small shed in the back of the garden to be able to store some of the equipment, furniture etc. My question, for those who have completed this type of task before, how straightforward is it to build your own shed? I personally do not need it to look like a palace, I just need to make sure that I can store goods in there, have a door that locks (I want my mower in there too) and ensure that there are no leaks. Anyone have any experience with this type of DIY undertaking? The greenhouse did not prepare me for this

June is just around the corner for your drastic cuts -- but you can do light trimming anytime, I've heard. A tree is a living thing, don't forget -- and fruit trees can be especially vulnerable to damage. And when you're pruning up top, keep in mind that the roots are growing too -- think about what's down there with those roots. Plumbing? Sewage? Overgrowth up top is a good red flag that you may have too much growth down below too.

This is the problem with buying and selling privately -- you're not just buying the product, you're buying the person, the way they've treated their property, the way they'll deal with you. There are great bargains to be found, but just as mean traps to fall into. When buying something that could potentially explode and cut you into pieces, I think you should be extra careful. Don't cut corners here, unless you're ready to cut a whole lot of other things too.

I think it looks great! How do you treat one of these things so it will withstand the elements? I'm sure there are tons of linseed oil and the like, but still -- rubbing an intricate piece like that would take a long time to get even coverage. I suppose it would be sprayed on ...

These are your first tries at this? Amazing! Do they make small-sized chainsaws especially for the purpose of chainsaw carving? They certainly should -- smaller, lightweight tools would give an artist more control and better results. Of course, the question would be how much demand there is for such a thing, but I imagine they already make chainsaws in varying lengths anyway, right? Still, one specifically designed and balanced for this purpose would be great. I'll bet one of you craftsman out there could put one together, but I suppose you're all too busy carving! Anyway, keep up the good work!
