I assume the weather the last week has been terrible where you are (if you are a UK sheddie) and hope you have not been flooded.

It has been very heavy here at the Shed HQ, nestled in the welsh valleys, thankfully we are on a hill.

But the sheds(Shed HQ,Mr’s UW Shed) are leaking :(, with old greeny the worse for wear.

I will have to get out sometime and re-felt the roof, but as you know from my past experience with anything hands on, it will be a long and thumb hitting task.

So my sheddies what tips do you have for me and the rest of the readers

Whats the best way

1) To Stop the rain getting in
2) Repair any leaks and stop it leaking again what to use?
3) anything else you can think of.

any help appreciated.

You all know we are found of cheese here on the shedblog, and in fact we have an offical cheesemonger for Shed week, in the wossname of The Cheese shed.

But you have to see this, to celebrate Cardiff hosting this years Great British Cheese festival, they have got a bloke to make Cardiff Castle out of cheese.

A time lapse film showing a unique sculpture of Cardiff Castle being chiseled out of Welsh cheddar is being used to highlight the staging of the Great British Cheese Festival in the famous Welsh landmark for the first time in September (27-28)

People are asking me (ok one email, but that’s enough to do a post) Wilco how do I get my shed entered into the Shed of the year 2009 competition, it’s simple really, but of course I don’t make it easy to find.

• You just need to “share your shed” here
• Add some info about your shed, choose a category plus add at least 2 images (external and internal)

the system works better if you resize the images beforehand, to around 600/700 pixels wide, as my bandwidth is not free you know!!

If you don’t add a minimum of two images, then it wont be counted for entry to Shed of the year, so get your camera’s out.

many thanks, I hope we get some great sheds this year, as each year the standard goes through the shed roof..

Eagled eyed sheddie andy from workshopshed spotted this shed.

London is notorious for a shortage of space and central London is worse than most places. When workmen came to repair this building on Shaftsbury Avenue W1 they found a novel solution to where to locate their workman’s hut. The shed is located 10 feet in the air supported with scaffolding. The shed has views over the traffic and is the idea location if the workmen wish to wolf whistle at the tourists on the open top buses.

It’s like our shed winner Tim as it’s octagonal but like the PLot thickens as it’s also made with some pallets

Two artists have beaten the credit crunch by building a gallery completely out of rubbish.

German designers Folke Koebberling and Martin Kaltwasser saved a fortune by using waste wood to create the gallery in the Cambridgeshire countryside.

Volunteers helped to build the two-storey octagonal space in just six weeks using old doors, windows, furniture and school desks donated by the local community.

Timber, including 500 pallets, was contributed by locals and more than 40 volunteers helped to turn the rubbish into the building, which comes complete with a greenhouse conservatory.

Go to their website to see some other great examples of recycled things they have made, including the wonderful Shedhalle
