Hey Bryan, if you need any help just let me know!, i dont charge too much haha, mates rates are slowly dropping now like the credit availibility!

[Robusto]

That's rubbish for you!

By the way, nice to see you back on here.

We could have anything in the Emerald Isle these days Brian, the way the country is going down the pan economically. The bus company Bus Eireann is laying off so many staff over the next few months which means certain routes will be affected invariably. I live along the border, being a regular bus/train user I may be inconvenienced slightly by the shakeup.

I might make it into a bar as well, Em!
Don't you / Didn't you have buses outside pubs over there?

[emeraldisle]

Currently being forced to smoke outside, may ask the landlord to build me one of those cabins Brian.

Dale - Man's Den, indeed!
I feel like an on-heat buffalo!

I make it look gloomily suicidal, but I just love having an escape hatch.

It's the same as having a fat humidor at home when you're miles away. The thought of it cheers you up!

[Robusto]

Agreed, my man!

Take your video. Put it on YouTube - or something more "hidden" like Photobucket if that's a trauma - and then you take the PROPERTIES tag given to your video and add the EMBED code straight into this window.

If that wasn't clear - ha ha - I'll email you.

I'm up for competitions and postings and stuff because I am a twat who doesn't care. So bring it on!

There are music collaborations brewing up quietly in the background of the site. It's cool, and all good.

Bryan thats a fab place, well done. Just need to make it your heaven haha.
How do you put video`s up?, i think we should have a show of smoke rooms, have a vote and the winner gets a surprise!! I`ll donate.

I have declared our conservatory the official cigar smoking place now...well until summer!!

Smoking In My Shack This Afternoon...

[Robusto]

A wood burning stove would be brilliant over the cold times, Chris. I'll think on.

I've got to get my lads to tidy their stuff up down there, as you will soon see...

I've just got back a Yamaha electric piano which I gigged from the mid 80s. Very dear piece of analogue kit to me, if well battered. I'm going to set it up in a corner down there permanently. The neighbours love us playing from this house, and some cool musos who have just moved in from Brixton - including a really talented guy on drums - want to join up for some playing in the shack.

So hip, hey?! lol

I can really practise playing keys with a monster stogie on down there lol.
Fats Waller lives again.

Hi Bryan, halogen heaters are one of the cheapest ways,and probably the best but if you wanted something different and authentic, screwfix or even machine mart do a wood burning stove. They have closed doors and come with the chimney shute, i think they are about ?100 which i dont think is too bad.Then B&Q do a thing called a firebrick in bags of 50 and all they need is a piece of firelighter and they throw out tons of heat, and with the closed doors are safe!!. I built my mum a summer house and fitted a fire the same and she sits in it in the middle of winter and has to have the door open it can get that warm. I cheated with mine lol, i piped my central heating into mine, triple insulated the pipes 2 feet under ground and its like a sauna sometimes.
Hope you got your cable sorted! not great when they do that haha, I wont mess with your labrador haha.
I have the fresh smell of timber in my house still its fab.Have to say i got the idea from when i was in Canada, i stopped with a family member there and they had them in the roof and the smell every morning i would say is better than fresh wood.

Hi Chris. I use a couple of halogen heaters - always manically supervised! - when I'm down there and it's cold weather, and they heat up the space really well. I thought about a couple of oil-fired radiators. I'm on the mains electricity circuit connected to the house down there. To be honest, it's warm even in cold weather. I just need heating if it's frosty or snowy - but don't really use it then anyway.

Your thoughts? Given the inflammability factor with a wooden cabin? A wooden cabin used as this noble gentleman's cigar smoke palace? LOL!

The knotted wood idea is great. There's nothing better than the smell of fresh wood.

My dog chewed through my laptop electricity cable overnight so I have to drive over to Comet in Folkestone to get a repacement. Savage labradors, hey?!

[Scottish_Cuban]

Good morning chaps! Bryan your smoke house looks fab, its ideal for what you need. Its each to there own when it comes to an extra room, and whats affordable in these tight times. If your after some cheap heating ideas Bryan let me know and see what we can do. The fresh wood smell should last a few years but if not, go wood hunting in old sawmills and find some new pine thats knotted and leave that laying in your shed, now and then cut the knot with a saw and the fresh knot sap engulfs all around and that lovely fresh smell is back!.
