See, it's all coming together. Roy!!  Dangerous things sheds tho - the more space you have the more stuff you find to fill that space (giant sized compost bales, economy size  plant foods and fertilisers, an essential extra spade/fork/hoe/spiky thing etc etc) - what "law" is that?? Guarantee that if you are like us by this time next year your shed will be so full you'll be adding a lean-to for the tools  ;)

;D Tee hee thanks Megan, the main things I will be leaving in it will be the BBQ less fuel and wheel barrow less wheel and as you say the big bulky items like compost ;) to ease the load on the car ;D

Anyone got any last minute tips on how to dismantle a shed? apart from start at the roof ;D

By now you'll have got it home, Roy?Hope it dismantled OK - and that you numbered all the obscure bits? (and then that you've still got the sketch?)  ;D ;D ;D

Just know you're going to enjoy being a Person of Property - put the kettle on 8) Lishka

Congrats Roy.......best thing I've purloined for my Lottie is the shed!! A bloke up the lane offered me a 6' x 4' pent roofed one. Me and a few mates picked it up and carried it! Try not to fill yours with junk like I have  ;D

;D At the mo, we have dismantled it and laid it on the floor in situe awaiting collection on Saturday, only accident was a broken pane of glass. ::)

I'm really excited as I am soon to have a private place to donate a food additive to my compost bins :o

Bet Saturday can't come soon enough Roy - but what about Harvey?  Are you planning a wee extension for your four-legged friend - complete with net curtains?
Our shed doesn't even have a window........

Roy    Mine is up and we are finishing the painting.  It still has some gaps where the planks have buckled a bit so it leaks but my OH will probably use 50 cans of expanding foam to plug them (he used two on my wheel barrow wheel and it didn't work  ;D)

I now have guttering on with a downpipe into a freebie water butt.  My niece bought us a new tap for it so this weekend I should be able to draw water  :)

It even has a worktop in it for me to do my potting up, oh and a hurricane lamp  :)

Kitty    Far be it from me to make a cheap remark about erections. Thought I'd leave it to you.  ;D

Ps   We now have another shelf below that one  ;D

My OH continues his shed refurb with a not one new shelf but two  :o  and he has even bought some polycarb to replace the broken window  :o :o  He also fitted a tap to the second hand water butt  ;D

Bad news at the shed this morning though as the Wicks timber has warped and split the roof felt so we had a puddle on the shed floor this morning.   :(

Made lettuce sarnis with all my mixed lettuce leaves  ;D    Lettuce sarnis are popular in these parts as they are cheap.  A light sprinkling of salt and enjoy  :)

Post by: Roy Bham UK on May 08, 2005, 21:45:33
:( Sorry to hear about your Roof felt Wardy >:(  ;DGood news about your tap ;D
Many hands made light work of my new (secondhand) shed.
We erected it (Daughter, Son-in-law & Mate) today, painted it and put new roofing felt up, sadly I forgot my camera but got a snap albeit rubbish off my mobile phone sorry about the quality and it shows off the oil drums I recycled. ;D 8)

I'm very impressed with your sheds Roy and Wardy - can't wait till we have one.

Checking my lottery ticket at work the other night I was pleased to find I'd won a tenner but then when I realised I was only one number of winning over £100 I sighed and moaned - that was nearly a shed... got some funny looks from the others at work - some people just don't understand  :)

Fab shed Roy - somewhere to keep your knick knacks  ;D

My OH mended roof felt but it's leaking in somewhere else now  ;D  A veritable colander.  Gawd it could mean he's going to break out the expanding foam again. Oh no, anything but that.  If I find it I chuck it in the bin and then act all innocent and say I've not see in   ;D

Post by: kitty on May 10, 2005, 16:34:35

 ;D I’ve snapped a better picture of my new/secondhand shed on a lovely warm and sunny day, 8)  apart from the birdie songs you could hear a pin drop up there. :)
The second picture shows my new plot to the right covered in weeds and pond liner with two oil drums and a dustbin, I think we’re going to have a busy summer. ;D
