Topic: Britain braces for gales and cold spells

Oh dear Cam, sorry about your shed - on the upside it looks repairable as you say.  Just a pain, another job you didn't intend on having to do!  And don't be lifting it by yourself or you'll have us lot to answer to lol  :o  ;D .  Hope you get it fixed soon (and feel better soon too!) x

Was that sofa there before the gales, or did it fly in from somewhere else nearby lol  :o

I do hope you can repair shed Cam.   My neighbour over the road had some fencing panels
smashed. He was going to dump them. I asked if I could have the battens from them. So I now have plenty battens to make some more trellis with. I spent over an hour chipping the putty out of the garage door window frame ready for John to board up. I already had three boarded up due to kids breaking windows. Still quite windy here and certainly colder.
Be safe people.
Lorna,

Hubbie went to the plot for me today as i did not feel up to it.
My shed has been blown over and the roof has blowen off

So sorry cambourne. With a few willing helpers, hope it gets shipshape and windproof again before too long

Blimey Cam.  Those gusts were something else.  And I did have to giggle about the sofa Kitten.

Nice use of recycling Lorna.  We have lost 2 panels, which the old boy must get replaced - I bet fencing companies are rubbing their hands together - and I have been trying to think what I can use them for....iedas ideas.

My local Focus store is already there. Had a large stock of fence panels in since the storms back in December.

On the subject of fences, I still havent sorted out the boundary fence which came down in that December storm. Neighbour did a rough repair to stop his dog getting out into our garden but now he is talking about replacing the fence with a brick wall,  and since the boundary is jointly owned we would have to contiribute to the cost. NICE!!! :-< . That story though is for another discussion thread.....
