Just got this brilliant old sofa from the local second hand shop, it was originally £70 a few months ago, then £50 then £20 and then they just had 'free' on it so I snapped it up.

Its from the 50's and hardly used, it seemed a shame to destroy it with flying sparks from my fire so I got a pair of funky 70's curtains and draped them over. Fantastic, now I can lounge around with tea and biscuits in front of my fire.

Such fun smashing out the old filthy cupboard at the back of the hut.

It is great. I just have a small flat with no garden so its superb to have it.

Anyone else who fancies a plot in springburn gardens allotments, glasgow should give them a ring, there are quite a few empty plots.

how big is the shed? Is it brick?

sawfish

Old wood and metal hut, half of it with a see through plastic roof. Around 20 foot long and luckily still waterproof.

Would love a shed that big  :'(

But we have a size restriction.

Friday and Monday i am heading up the site and plan on cutting word for a floor for he shed. (currently you have to step into it over the bottom beam onto a wood floor which is a little cold and bumpy.

I then plan on getting a spare chair up to the plot so i can sit in comfort on a flat area.

Then i want to put in some shelving by the window, and i want to put some hooks up for tools etc. Once i have the shelves up i plan on having a little fun with a can of gap filling foam to seal up some of the larger gaps :-)

Fun Fun Fun

If i am still up to it i also need to fit my drain pipe :-)

I am going to see if i can get a friend with a trailer to bring up some stuff to my plot like my 4 tier greenhouse ( if i take it apart i will not get it back together again ), the chair and some other bits of wood that i am hording. I also have some sheets of polystirene which i was going to use to help warm up the beds. And the rigid plastic for my next building project. hehe

Depending on how i get on Monday i hope to paint the shed inside and out to make it look a little smarter. Got some wood paint on freecycle.
