Dismantling a garden shed

**drinkfeckarse** · 25/07/2006, 1:25 PM

I'm replacing it with a larger one so I was just wondering do I just take a hammer to it and smash it to bits or is there a particular method?? I'd prefer to be a bit tidy with it.

Thanks

This should help!

Man I'd love the oppurtunity to smash comething to bits with a hammer. Don't let this golden chance get away from you...

Both those thoughts did enter my head lads

Start a row with your significant other , it will be even better if you haven't told them you are upsizing, go and get a sledge and take it out on the shed while muttering obsenities about work , life and not being appreciated.

Outcome -You will be in slippers and steak dinners for at least a month.
Alternative - hopefully there will be enough of the shed left to build a dog house for yourself.

Sh*t lifes a gamble.

Post it on your local freecycle and get someone to take it away. Then crack open a can and watch someone else trying to dismantle it.

smash it, smash it good, with a ridiculously over sized hammer, then burn it, burn it good, while drinking beer, cold beer.

What about recycling the materials DFA? Surely you - or someone else - can find another use for them.

As for the rest of you pyros, won't anyone think about the poor planet? Bet youse all drive 4x4 gas guzzlers too...

I thought this thread was gonna be about a U2 parody album.

Yeah I was going to name the thread "how to dismantle a garden shed" but thought it might confuse people

I took a hammer to it it last night and it came away fairly easily in sections so I didn't have a million bits lying about. It did feel good to be whacking it with the hammer though, made me feel all manly

although I wasn't too keen on all the spiders and beasties!!

Not sure about recyling them PP, the sides and roof are lying up against the side of my house until I get a trailor later to shift them but they don't look in great nick, it looked as if it was a cheapy B&Q thing and is fairly flimsy. I'll take them to the dump where you can put your rubbish in different sections so I'd imagine they'll recycle them there if they think it's worth it.

Cheers for the advice lads, even though most of it was useless

2oz of semtex, a remote control...6 pack, hot dog, sit a mile away and listen for the bang...oh, evacuate the street before this fun...

I had the pleasure of "dismanteling" a shed a few summers ago
and it was just fantastic ... warm summers day, wife beater vest,
few cans of cider and a sledge hammer. Grrrrrrrrr

Actually the more I think about it, it was more like breaking rocks
in San Quentin ... with cider and being allowed go home after :-)

My brother was working building sets on a movie that was made in Monaghan a few months ago and he said his favourite part of the job was when filiming finished and he got to go in and Karate Style kick down the sets and swinging sledges at it was fun too.....do all men get a kick out of being distructive? God the mess my life has been I think I should know that answer!
