By Popular Request…the Man Cave!
No, Ms Raccoon has no intention of shutting up – though that would be an equally popular request these days….
But several people have asked if I could creep into the man cave and take some pictures – this morning I was up before Mr G and managed to do just that.
Here, in all its glory, is the man cave – 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: Matt’s comment, to make it quite clear that he wouldn’t allow a Black and Decker tool anywhere near his establishment – they are all Makita. Honour satisfied!
June 11, 2013 at 17:23I’d cut down on his pocket money, if I were you Anna.
June 9, 2013 at 09:00Truly, 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.
June 9, 2013 at 08:44It’s all a front. He’s got booze or chocolate or floozies stashed down
there. A proper workshop wouldn’t be that tidy – especially if I worked in it
. . .
June 8, 2013 at 20:43Mr 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 groom’s). 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.
June 8, 2013 at 19:13Many of the world’s 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,. It’s all a matter of priorities…
June 8, 2013 at 19:12For someone who keeps such a cave there can only be one book to buy him if
he hasn’t already read it ‘Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance’ by
Persig —and Anna with your literary skills how about a book with Mr G as the
classical narrator?
June 8, 2013 at 18:37Looking forward to seeing the kitchen.

June 8, 2013 at 14:26I’m green with envy…wish you lived round the corner from me, or perhaps I
should say, wish I lived round the corner from you…I could pop in for much
needed advice and use of Mr G’s tools!
June 8, 2013 at 13:54Anna, you married “Le Salvager” ?
…actually though Rico was never quite *that* OCD about his cartouches.
June 8, 2013 at 13:32Wow Anna what a tidy organised workshop, so light and airy too. Kitchen
should be a dream.
June 8, 2013 at 12:40Where’s the glass panel that shows the mill stream. I really want to see
that.- June 8, 2013 at 13:17
Bottom left in picture three, and top right in picture six – 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
kitchen…..for an old goat shed it has scrubbed up magnificently!- June 8, 2013 at 15:56
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.- June 8, 2013 at 16:01
June 8, 2013 at 12:14What a Treasury of Tools – 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… When’re we going to see the kitchen?
June 8, 2013 at 09:07Phwoarr, thats almost porn.
Impressed of Tunbridge Wells.
June 8, 2013 at 08:37Thanks for the pics – I am now even more envious than ever!
