"Lovely Old Shed"

This is an image of a garden shed.
It relates to a cracking yarn about Norman Taylor, an amateur photographer and more importantly, shed enthusiast, who suffers from sight loss. Norman has put on display more than 1000 pictures of his beloved garden shed. It will be on display until mid January at Royal National Institute of Blind People in Edinburgh.
He describes it fondly as a "lovely old shed". Norman, we concur.

Vandalised!

After a heady day of press coverage (16th Nov), Garbologist HQ received some more attention.........1st vandalism! Some Rogues O' The Nicht had a go at the roof and back two windows when trying to gain access to the penetrable fortress! A couple of screws and some beams across the windows have seen it secured until now at least. If any vandalism occurs, it is photographed, fixed, and the photograph and description of handi-work left outside the shed for respective assailants to add to their collection.

Press Call! Made It To The TV!

Looking a bit "Billy Bob Thornton' in Sling Blade, I get photographed emerging from H.Q by the skip site Paparazzi. The Garbologists featured on Grampian evening news, in The Press & Journal, and most importantly, The Courier!
Cheers to the skip site workers Craig, Michael and Hugh who all acted (worked in situ) with Hollywood ease to put a bit of glamour into the production!

The press attention brought about a little more attention of a darker nature that night.....H.Q's first bout of vandalism!

3D Model Of H.Q

This a plan that was made up to assist with the construction of the shed, using Google Sketch-Up.

An Englishmans Home Is His Castle, Ah'll Tak Garbologist H.Q Any Day!

Apologies for a delay in posting, this is due to essential work being done to complete H.Q and numerous logistical discrepancies.

The facade of Headquarters, complete with signage, welcoming palette-step, and bike-less bike shelter. If anyone's up the skip site feel free to drop by. Its pretty cold and usually dark (rectified upon suitable discovery of skipped materials), but there are now two (2) chairs, so comforts not an issue!

I'll take that off yer hands mate!

Storms a' comin'. Scotland's struggling under the severity of November rain of which the likes have never been seen! Not being mugs at Garboligist H.Q, cladding and insulating is nearing completion. Almost covering the back of the wall are 3 old school doors, suitably chewing gummed in those hard to reach areas! Two beds have been saved from the skips and used to create a luxurious wooden office document wall (note the November light easing through the perspex and onto Table Two-Palettes, the hub of activity.

No need to wipe yer feet!

With the spirit of recycling firmly integrated into Garbologist H.Q, yet another example of the numerous capabilities of the versatile palette. It sat with the shed shell on it in storage for weeks, presumably had many other storage-related escapades in its fruitful existence, and now is the first port of call when entering (with your steelies mind!) Garbologist H.Q.

Recycling: The possibilities are endless.
