Sydney morning herald reports

THIS weatherboard box could be Victoria’s most expensive real estate. A pair of young families yesterday paid $455,000 (£251,214) for the 22-square-metre boat shed at auction because they wanted a place to store their beach gear.

Auctioneer Warwick Anderson said the sale of Boat Shed 21 on Shelley Beach in Portsea eclipsed the previous record of $362,000 two years ago.

”The new buyers both have houses off the cliff, out the back of Portsea,” he said. ”They were sick of lugging all their stuff up and down the beach.”

Just checking how people find the shedblog, I get some normal shed stuff in my logs like

> how to build a shepherds hut
> how to convert a shed into a sauna
> where is james may garden
> how to build an eco straw house
> how to heat shed
> do i need planning permission for a shed

Of course you could always try the shed forum if you don’t find the answer here.

but also some real weird things as well.

This from the BBC A History of the world by Hazel Jones

This curious object was made by the artist Hazel Jones whilst she was in her final year at the Silversmithing and Jewellry Department of the Royal Collage of Art in London in the late 80′s. At that time she was “inventing” gadgets and implements for doing jobs that didn’t need doing. Working with ephemeral objects like tea leaves, fluff and dust. She turned her attention to currant buns in her final year and for her final year show at the RCA she developed some gadgets for stretching, steaming and drying currants that had been skillfully plucked from the surface of many a bun. A hinged wall with seven spikes folds down and the moist currants are attached and the wall closed and fastened by means of a small clip at the top. A small cake candle in the base is lit via a hinged hatch at the side. The heat of the candle is said to dry out the currants in a matter of hours. The elongated shape of the sheds was greatly influenced by the net drying sheds at Hastings used by local fisherfolk. After the currants are dried they can be steamed in the Currant Steamer- another device invented by Hazel Jones – to return them to their plump and moist state and so on, ad infinitum.
