Shed construction

You might think that a shed as small as ours would take less work to put together than one of average size, but it turns out you would be wrong. There are still the same number of walls and therefore the same number of joins to make, don’t forget. Add to that the additional complications of trying to fix things together in limited space and I am sure that you can understand why by dusk today we were only about halfway through the whole thing.

Yes, I have given it a coat of paint already, but we still have to add the roof, the shelves, the finials (how posh - our shed even has finials!) and at some point we’ll also have to screw the damn thing to its base. I quite fancy having a sign on he front, too - or would that be a bit much, do you think?

Worryingly, even in its incomplete form, it looks as though we have just installed an outside loo at the bottom of the garden. That sign had better read ‘privvy’.
