Kids being kids all they need is a three pallet compost bin structure with a pallet on top, you will have some very happy kids, give them some old carpet and some old curtains and see what you get.

Sorry no
I have access to pallets of different sizes and shapes so as the title says i formed a picture in my head, did some drawings on paper, using the pallets different measurements , When the bulb lit up i started collecting pallets
of the size and shape that fit my picture, I allso had been offered 5 glass
shower doors for the price of a few bacon sandwiches all different sizes of course, again these were taken into consideration when working out the
size of the ? shed,
The money side of it comes with things like the screws its all screwed together no nails, then there will be the silicon sealer for the glass then the big one the felt , as stated before MRF stands for materials recycling facility
Iworked in one till 94
As to time i allso barrow my manure from one end of the site were its dumped when delivered to my plot which of course is the furthest from the gates ,im digging my fourth raised bed ,oh and sleeping a lot and i work seven days a week , Im playing catch up with most other plots ive only had mine since end of november

When you have finished all your plot projects and you are sitting in your shed watching others toil away you will have the biggest smile on your face I'm sure ;D It's totally in keeping with the allotmenteers motto..Recycle, Reuse and Rejoice ;D
Well done to you.
Lauren :D
P.S I look forward to your update pictures. Keep them coming.
