I had that map on my wall for many years.

Frankly, I’m buggered if I know what happened to it.

It’s an Amish community, I bloody new it, barns everywhere. Can’t so much as blink and another bloody barn goes up.

What’s in this shed? Workshop?

I’m still waiting for the listening room to be finished.

I can see the roulette table fitting in and perhaps a couple of dancing poles but how does the hot tub figure into things?

No, already have a workshop in a stone outbuilding.

This is just for storage.

Promotional video for ‘The AdderStane’ - a book by Fetlar resident Avalina Kreska. It is a virtual reality flight from Sumburgh (Southern tip of Shetland Mainland) to Fetlar and then a short aerial tour of Fetlar.

Fail! I couldn’t see your new shed :roll_eyes:

Also, it needed a Steven Wilson soundtrack :smirk:

To fit in a prog soundtrack, the flight would have had to be made in one of these…

That would make it into a classic rock album

Shed finished apart from a couple of internal braces and a bit more external treatment

Doesn’t look very big in the pic, but it’s 16’ x 8’ and 8’ high at the front
