Dorset Men and Their Sheds, move over Tommy Walsh. Two local men are causing a real stir in the world of DIY with their first video on Utube entitled “How to build an oil drum BBQ”, although a little late in the season for grilled outdoor cuisine the project video has attracted attention from all parts of the globe including Alaska and Brazil in the South !! Mark Botwright and Dennis Spacey were commissioned to build two BBQ’s for a local bigwig and had the idea of filming the build for the greater good.
We asked Dennis what made them film it?
“Everybody wants to be a celeb these days and we are no different, neither of us can sing so that ruled out pop idol, I didn’t fancy living in Elstree for 10 weeks so that ruled out Big Brother, I like DIY, it made sense”
Excellent stuff - you are not a real man until you own a shed. I need help building a land yacht (like a sand yacht but more off road hard core mayhem) how about it Mark and Dennis?

Sheds are fab. I have just completed two superb sheds in france ( i could bore you for hours with the spec and the photos) and to be honest I can't see the point of a house when you can build a lovely insulated wooden shed. I am tempted to knock my old ruin down over there and replace it with a network of inter-connected sheds.
