By Popular Requestâ¦the Man Cave!
No, Ms Raccoon has no intention of shutting up â though that would be an equally popular request these daysâ¦.
But several people have asked if I could creep into the man cave and take some pictures â this morning I was up before Mr G and managed to do just that.
Here, in all its glory, is the man cave â you can see why I wanted to turn it into a kitchen!
In fairness, he has now built me a magnificent kitchen. I am further instructed re: Mattâs comment, to make it quite clear that he wouldnât allow a Black and Decker tool anywhere near his establishment â they are all Makita. Honour satisfied!

Iâd cut down on his pocket money, if I were you Anna.

Truly, Mr. G is a mighty Ozymandias, king of kings in the world of sheds,
workshops and tools. Mere mortals such as myself can only look on and
despair.

Itâs all a front. Heâs got booze or chocolate or floozies stashed down
there. A proper workshop wouldnât be that tidy â especially if I worked in it
. . .

Mr G might be too useful for his own good! My brother-in-law used to be
asked to fix things for family and friends as he had a workshop (though not
nearly as palatial as your groomâs). Using his superior intelligence he made
sure that the finished product was never quite satisfactory. People stopped
bothering him after that. I stand in admiration of his technique.

Many of the worldâs most difficult questions have been addressed and solved
by a man in a shed. Few that I can think of have been dealt with in a similar
fashion by a girl in a kitchen,. Itâs all a matter of prioritiesâ¦

For someone who keeps such a cave there can only be one book to buy him if
he hasnât already read it âZen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenanceâ by
Persig âand Anna with your literary skills how about a book with Mr G as the
classical narrator?

Iâm green with envyâ¦wish you lived round the corner from me, or perhaps I
should say, wish I lived round the corner from youâ¦I could pop in for much
needed advice and use of Mr Gâs tools!

Anna, you married âLe Salvagerâ ?
â¦actually though Rico was never quite *that* OCD about his cartouches.

Wow Anna what a tidy organised workshop, so light and airy too. Kitchen
should be a dream.

Whereâs the glass panel that shows the mill stream. I really want to see
that.

Bottom left in picture three, and top right in picture six â M G keeps
two heavy metal plates over the glass for fear that he might crash through
one day or drop a heavy piece of wood on it!
Maybe next Saturday if he has another lie in I shall photograph the
kitchenâ¦..for an old goat shed it has scrubbed up magnificently!

I definitely need a better look at that Mill Stream.
My kitchen was once the goat shed, but I suspect that yours has
scrubbed up a bit better than mine, due to you having a man.

What a Treasury of Tools â would jump at signing up for two-week training
courses if he ever decided to impart classes! Exchange course for metal lathe
and god-knows-how-many additional bits for it Mr. G? And all so organized,
clean and tidy⦠Whenâre we going to see the kitchen?
