I assume you are referring to the laundry?

Just doing the monster laundry after two weeks camping. Open fire cooking most nights means everything smells smokey so the washing machines runs solid for a couple of days after we get home.

I'd post a picture of the view from my (metal) lathe but everyone knows what a fibro wall looks like ...

Thanks for your contributions. You fellas who say you have no view.... you do you know. You would have a wall (presumably) and on that wall you would have...timber storage racks or turning tool holders or....take a photo and give us a look. (I have a "nosey personality) I realise we all can't have an unobstructed view of Sydney Harbour or Olympic Park or even the Story Bridge but you do have a view of something
I enjoy looking at blokes sheds. We all do similar work but we do those jobs differently with different tools. I think we can all learn from seeing how other do what they do

OK so I was wrong, it's actually a painted MDF wall, a lot flasher than fibro.
Here's the view I'd prefer to have but as this is taken from the roof of my shed, working on the lathe from there might be a little unsafe.

I think I prefer to view from the roof Geoff, looks like we were camped just to the left of that building on the left edge of that picture about a year ago.
You live in a pretty scenic area!

Geoff, as this thread opened, the first thing I thought when looking at the lathe with the white cover behind it, Why has he got a fossil of a Diprotodon head on the bench. It wasn't till I looked into the picture that I realised it wasn't a fossil.
Great scene from the roof, though, just the same

Wow! Leave the cover on the lathe while you build the second storey and don't forget the large window to position the lathe in front of. Natural light is good when turning.

The only fossil here is me

Oh Geoff you could look at that view if you really wanted to from the lathe where it is. If parents can set up monitors at home and view what is happening at work

I know for you to have had to climb that roof again to rectify the camera again must have required a good stiff drink after, glad its up and running again

Here's my view, suburbia, but ok...

But can get rather cold.

My mind would wonder to "Day of The Triffids" looking at those plants
Still not a bad view
