It’s not a timeshare so you will just have to look on jealously as we summer in Abbey Hey for 2009.
We took advantage of a dry day, the first in a little while, to get the shed up. We knew that it was going to take a few hours and so we needed an early ish start today. However, whilst it was dry and not at all windy it was absolutely freezing. The sort of cold that requires gloves which make handling small nuts and bolts almost impossible. So periods of finger numbing use of the screwdriver were interspersed with blowing on our hands and shaking them around to warm up.
But it was all worth it because now we finally have somewhere to put our things and, perhaps more importantly, to shelter from the rain! It is pretty sturdy so we are quite impressed with our efforts. All that remains is to finish fastening it to the base fully. We were only able to put a few brackets on today as we no longer have a power drill that works (long story!). Then Neil is going to put some sealant round the edges to make sure it is waterproof. We have already looked at some cheap shelving for the inside (from Ikea of course) as we need to have plenty of room for our tools and also somewhere to put our gas cooker. Roll on bacon sandwiches and steaming mugs of tea!
