Well, I lied really, it’ll never be really complete but it’s now down to the clearing up inside so you can’t see inside yet, my secret! Was talking on the phone to Jan this afternoon and we were talking about workshops and I told him that I hadn’t been in quite so prolific pen production mode due to the wife replacement programme I have recently completed, but I thought that I had put a picture of the workshop on the forum. Well I can’t find it. So here’s another couple, a day and a night shot. It’s taken eighteen months as I started it, got it operational, just, had to climb over everything, got diverted to rebuild the house and put on two extensions, take out three walls etc. Everything came out, heating, wiring, plaster ceilings, you name it, but the roof stayed on, just. Then it was back to the finishing touches on the workshop. The bit on the left that sticks forward is the office run by the office manager, company secretary, and marketing director, Di! She’s also the gardener so the shit in front of the office is her doing and the reason I’m knackered as she bought 20 square metres of the heaviest Sandstone paving today.

That’s the night shot, and here’s the daytime one

I can't afford wife replacement therapy. :sob: My missus has mentioned husband replacement a few times though, should I be concerned? :thinks:

Talk is cheap,speaking to the wife needs to be on a different level.Seek out brownie points and possibilities. All the best you muffins.

40 years and counting (every single minute :funny:) I alway have this banter with my wife face to face Pete, she has seen what I post as often pops in to have a look what rubbish we are talking about..

It's always taken in jest and she also talks of husband replacement for a younger more agile model, really not sure why she wants to do that of course. :rolling:

It looks a slightly suntropical setting in your photos. Have you thought about repurposing the workshop and selling pina coladas instead?
