The New Shed Goes Up

With one coat of preservative on the outside of the shed, it was time to start to put it all together. The series of photos will show the progress in stages so far.

Jason and I also did a man 'man thing' and had our chips within the shelter of 'the shed' looking out, contemplating and putting the world to rights.

Foundations Finished at Last

With the help of Jason, the foundations for the shed were nearing completion.

All the shuttering was in place and all level. Bricks were also used to hold the shuttering in place and to stop it bowing out under the weight of the concrete.

After 3 nights of mixing and pouring concrete the last bucket of concrete was poured in and tamped down. A professional job even if I do say so myself.

The new shed is due to arrive tomorrow, Wednesday, and so it is important to finish off the concreting tonight.

Change of Plan

Ok, so now a big change of plan.

We are removing the old shed and laying a new base the other side of the oak tree. A new shed has been ordered, a 10ft x 6ft double door jobbie.

The old shed is coming down and the new green house going in its place.

This has been decided because the old greenhouse is in the shade until 10am each morning whilst the old shed is in the sunshine right from when the sun rises.
