Allotments 4 All

i'd unscrewed the brackets and was trying to put it all back together again before he even got in.  then after much huffing and puffing, it's 3/4 of the way there.

but if i hear one more stroppy stamp on the floorboards, i guarantee words will be said in a mo.


:P

break ??? break his bluudy neck in a moment lol.  it wasn't his fault anyway, it was the "expert" wot did it wrong.  but cos i decided i wanted a pane of glass that couldn't be levered out from the outside, i guess i asked too much.

ungrateful me eh ?  and it's swept now, so once i've worked out how to shift it to it's final resting place ( 1.5ft back, 1.5ft to the right) on me todd, i can start filling it.

;D

:(

Ok...as it says on here somewhere..breathe in, breathe out, repeat!!
Am sure it will be fine in the end and we will all look back on this and laugh!!!

;)

hee hee ............ iiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnn with love ......... ouuttttttttttttttt with hate.

:P

;D

Am helpless with mirth!!!!
Feel emotionally attached to your shed now, only having a miniature broken and leaky one myself, need to see splendid pics as the year continues!!!!

;)

and having just watched our Bill on his nature watch, i'm all chilled out and have a warm and happy glow about me. Hee has stomped out, came back cos he forgot something and gone out again.

I am going to have a nice hot bath, take my first Harry Potter with me and disappear into a magical cloud of steam.

I might take a seed catalogue with me to ring the changes  :P

I'll be sure and take a pic when I cut the ribbon and as my site progresses.

Thanks for the shoulder katynewbie, you're a star.   ;D

am also greeen with envy and hugely enjoying the building stories and pix, are you going to have one of those tool racks with the shape of the tools painted in behind where the tools hang?  :o ::) ;D

;D

Ooooh always wanted that!! Also those jam jars with the lid screwed into the shelf underside so that you unscrew the jar to get to...whatever!!!

Sad? Moi???

:-[

Sarah, that is known as a shadowboard ...

Had to check in here to read the update of The Saga of the Shed before going to bed  ;D.............you really gonna move that thing 1.5' back x 1.5' to the right all by yourself ??? Any chance you can set up a camcorder? We really have a right to see this.......it's not just your Shed, it's OUR Shed now. Are you giving it a name, btw?

Oh well, off to bed now and thanks a mill for the laughs, all.

xxx Lish

???

The name of The Shed...ok, drink has been taken, but Mrs KP...nuts.."Pistachio Towers"..."Cob Hall"..."Brazil by the Glen" (see...scottish link there) ok...I'll get me coat

;D

did i wake up in a parrallel (sp  ? - never could get that one) universe ???

tool racks wth painted tools ??   ::)  i've got those wee tool hook hangy things (cheaper from ASDA than ebay) and that jam jar thing is an excellent idea.  would save my carting them all to the bottle bank wouldn't it but they'd have to all match.  i wonder how i could use 24 tubby beer bottles ???  bottle wall round the plot ??? NOW we're talking  ;D

and as "we're" now talking again too, i will try and co-erce him into helping me shift it.  i know i can be stubbon, but i'm not stupid (debatable) lol

hmmmmmmm - names ??  for traditional reasons it will have to be dug or lion based.   The Den is perhaps too obvious but has a nice ring to it.

Thank you all ..... today is gonna be a good one, i can feel it in my water.

;D

An easy way to move a shed is to lever it up and put a couple of round poles under it which act as rollers then you can just push it in to position.  OH is always deciding he wants to move ours - can do this with stuff still in it!  Your shed sounds wonderful, and having it all to yourself must be brilliant.  Enjoy it! :)

careful moving!!!

excellent idea tulippa (runs round house ripping broom and mop heads off poles).

can't wait fo the solar powered light to get here (forever the optimist   :P) and i've not told you the story about the outside tap yet have i ?   :P

;D

Mrs KP... Do we have an update on the tap and the window yet? New pics?
Dont forget we all LOVE your shed!!!!!

;)

Fraid I wouldn't have left blokes to do it unsupervised! ;D ;D

but i was giving him the opportunity to do something useful without me nagging in his ear.  a mistake i definitely won't repeat after the saga with the positioning of the solar panel light  :o

the inner shots will have to wait until i've got a replacement for the damaged door, so i can strip the old one down, use it as battens and have some strategic hooks for implements of torture.   :P

my baby was christened tonight for potting, something else i wished i hadn't as i lost my fingers and toes by the time i'd finished.

anyways, here she is yesterday morning, in situ in all her glory.

as you can see the four veggie beds are nearly done, and the permanent raised carrot bed aka bath will be on it's way at the weekend.  having now found a free supply of top soil and an early doors visit to lidle tomorrow morning, i am in heaven.

;D

p.s. the outside tap still runs hot  ::)

today's update, we have a few paths and a few "raised" beds ........ my sunken raised beds are taking a lot more filling than i first thought.  got about 30 carrier bag fulls of topsoil from a nice gent today.  i may have to go and get some more tomorrow.

::)


p.s. shed's a mess  :o

what you going to plant in them thar beds? :)
