New shed needed - anyone have a spare boat?

Talk about inventiveness.

Shed of the year finalist:





The shed is built entirely from recycled materials, with the roof made from a clinker, which is a method of shipbuilding where wooden planks are attached to a hull so that they overlap each other. It is 14ft (4.2m) long and 7ft (2.1m) at its widest point.

It is solar powered with a gas cooker, fridge, sink and sound system used for parties.
Full story here.

Noticed this story as my own shed is on it's last legs . Anyone have a spare boat?

Inflatable dingy that has a hole in it but I don't think that would be quite as good LOL

I heard about this on the radio this morning
The one in the picture would be fine for Chloe and me if it was placed in a field . It would be small enough for me to say 'no visitors please my house is too small '

If only I had the ability to build something like that - there's lots of harbours on the Isle of Man with some very dodgy looking boats in them

Makes me wonder why someone ever thought of it in the first place? 'What am I going to do with this old boat I have?'. 'Oh I know I will build a shed out of it'. Lol. Wonder what else the guy has built in his time? Must have a very creative mind to think like that.

You won't believe it, my neighbours have a boat in their front garden, with fishing floats on, just like an ornament, it is looking a bit tired now and could do with a coat of paint.
I will try and get a picture when I have the time.

That is certainly different. Bet it looks good too. Make you think of the ocean. Always find viewing or thinking about the ocean a calming influence.
