Diary of a Shed - 11 May 2004

The timber arrives! Unfortunately the eagle-eyed among you will be able to tell that this is NOT the correct type of timber. Treated timber is darker and has a greenish tinge to it - I was sent the wrong timber and only realised AFTER I'd lugged it all to the back of the house. I now have to move it all back to the front of the house again ready for it to be picked up and exchanged. And it looks so nice where I've stacked it! Aaaaaaarrrrrrggggggghhhhhh!

That's it, all the timber required to build the floor and the walls, but not the roof. It's raised up off the ground so that any rain will quickly drain away, and scrap pieces of wood cross-wise add some extra support so it doesn't all fall over. It took me hours to shift this little lot round from the front of the house, so I decided that this was the only job I was doing today. Well I have to pace myself don't I?!
