Worryingly civilised I'd say, it might start having to be 'tidy' in case
'someone comes to visit' and the patch of oil from the motor sump might
attract negative attention.

Methinks it is not a shed.

I agree with you, definitively a lack of storage shelves ,bins etc and
far too twee.
The round shape would mean it is difficult to put shelves up and not
having an odd corner to stack those things you don't know where to
keep for a decade or so would be highly inconvenient. And precious few
places for the spiders to hide.
The fact that the shed I let large hairy Arachnids roam unmolested is
a major factor in keeping the missus out of My shed.

LOL, does that surprise you? Nothing surprises me about the internet these
days......
Must admit, the "shed" has a sort of rustic charm to it, but way too pricey
for me.

Mine is being held together by English Ivy which the State of Oregon is
about to declare Illegal!

Not in Oregon, it's a non-native plant, and damn invasive.

It's invasive here, too. You control it (in the garden) by pulling it
out - pruning/cutting makes it grow faster. Trouble is that "official"
workers use mechanical tools with blades...

I suppose ivy is the Oregon version of the Japanese knotweed over here.

But are not all plants are non-native as are humans. Just a question of when
and by what means they arrived ?

Cheers,
