Rain, Hail, Shine…

Second weekend of building the garden shed. We hoped it wouldn't be to rainy - but it was - the property was soaked (we had 48mm of rain in a 20 hours period) so understandable.

I brought a swing thing from Ikea for the kids so first job was to hang that from a tree.


Kids loved it - fell off a couple of times into puddles but thats the fun of it. Kept them amused for ages.

Tara and I started on the cladding (my wife is so patient - love her)

It was wet and muddy.


But we managed to get nearly two sides done of my mock ship lap cladding (fence palings) - I think it looks quite good. We are thinking of staining it black or maybe leaving it to weather to grey.


Close up of palings (a mix of 150mm and 100mm treated pine fence palings)



The box with it's wing (actual size of the 1.8m Depth x 2.4m Width x 2.4m Height (wing 2.4m x 2.4m)


Precision work


A close up of the foundations (H4 Treated Pine 100 x 100 post set in concrete to about 90mm)



Next job is to fix the rest of the cladding and the window and door then the roof.
