Shed - old and new

Well here it is, the first picture of the new shed after we finished building it over the Easter Bank Holiday weekend...



There is still a load of work to be done but at least it is now built - 12'x8' replaces 10'x8'. Cedar Red replaces tatty and ancient green (over 20 years old). Already it is obvious just how much bigger the back garden / yard will be once the old shed is removed. It has served its purpose and survived being remodelled at least 3 times.

Another target underway - shed update

My personal target to replace my ageing shed has moved forwards. It was delivery early on 2nd April as scheduled and over this Easter Bank Holiday weekend my son Mark has helped me to get it built. I painted as much as I could before starting assembly and that helped a lot.

Next step is to lay another set of boards over the floor provided as it doesn't feel substantial enough to take the weight of my motorbike. Then I have to make it secure - not so easy with double doors but there are ways and one (or more) will be selected. External security light and internal PIR alarm, power points and lighting all need to be installed. With that all done, work bench, cabinets and shelving all need to be built and installed.

With all that done I can empty the contents of the old shed out into the new one and the old one dumped into a skip for a one way trip to the local tip.

Looks like I am going to be busy for a while yet....
