Marg,

I don't know where, but I think the when was last year? Here, peeps were blatantly going to DIY stores & asking for any damaged-in-transit ones, after someone had posted they'd received a, well, knock-down price on one :P - and by golly! were getting fab bargains 8)

Try it - I would. ;D

I got a new to me shed from a skip yesterday! It is in better condition than the one in my garden. We had already taken trellis out of the skip, and the owner has said we can take the brick paviours from the pile at the side of the house if we want them.

OH put the shed up on our half lottie today. Just need some glass for the window now.

 ;D ;D ;D
