[Brighton] Beach Hut!

[Cheeky Monkey]

In vaguely unrelated news, a homesick Norwegian work colleague has just built her own back garden sauna for a pittance.

One small cheap wooden garden shed and some cladding to retain the heat.
Second hand wood burner from eBay
Wooden bench x 2 from Freecycle
Old frying pan
2 big stones
Scented oils

Works like a dream apparently.

Just in time for the heatwave

Failing to see how you could possibly class a beach hut as a "rip-off".
No one is forcing you into a corner to buy one.
And if you did you'd of been well rewarded with your investment.
My sister bought one about 5 years ago, had a fantastic summer in it, got some income by renting it out some days on Airbnb, then sold it on for 30% more than the price she'd paid for it just 15 months earlier.
Oh, and I almost forgot, she also got to meet 'knocky 1'.

I really don't think you comprehend the definition of what it means to be "ripped-off".

Your sister spent more than most people can afford to spend on their car on a garden shed so she doesn’t have to carry her deckchairs all the way from the car to the beach.

That fact that someone was stupid enough and out of touch enough to spend even more on it doesn’t change that.

Errr, yes it does.

In what way was she 'ripped off' on an investment that made her a 30% profit? Did she need to make 50%, 100% profit before she wasn't ripped off?

The person she sold it to, maybe, but not her.

By the way, I am making no comment as to whether or not people should be spending more on a beach hut than a car, but I really am struggling to see how The Maharajah of Sydney's sister was ripped off by making a profit...

Reduces fuel usage so it's ECO.

We purchased our beach hut at Lancing for £800 and sold it around 8 years later for £4k.

I distinctly remember the stupid bitch who bought it as well as two days prior to selling she rang me and said "I only want to pay £3k", my response "no problem you aren't having it".

An hour later she transferred £4k

Some people like buying a beach hut and some people are stupid enough to spend money on cocaine……just saying like.

I wish I had 30k to spend on cocaine, much better profit margins in that

I wonder what she does with the piss from the portable loo?

I’ll ask her and get back to you

Looks like my valuation was £5,000 short. Now £35,000
