Shed frustration!

As some of you might be aware we have ordered a new shed. So today being the first non-windy day since last Preston Guild, I decided it was as good a day as any to take down the old corrugated iron construction which basically collapsed under the snow last month. We reckon the thing only stood up because the woodworm were linking arms. Anyway, the first lot of iron came off with a little help from my trusty crowbar. Great. Now for the last layer..............no nails, just all different size, very rusty bolts and nuts. How the £"$$£" do I get them off?

 

Could you not build a bonfire inside, burn out the wood then it should fall apart.

 

Or perhaps a cheap angle grinder with a metal cutting disc might be safer? The disadvantage with burning corrugated iron sheds down is that it damages the galvanising.

 

Birmingham screwdriver to the rescue. The person who built the shed had a penchant for 6 inch nails. They are everywhere even on 2 inch thick wood, where he has kindly bent them over, just to make things easy for me.
Thought about using the angle grinder, but tried hitting the corrugated iron very hard first. Now I have to find a way of getting rid of 40 , 6 feet by 2 feet sheets of corrugated iron. Not in the best of condition I hasten to add.

 

That's what I do when nailing corrugated iron, leave the last 25mm or so and bend it flat otherwise they're a PITA to remove if driven home (unless you mean somebody has driven 6" nails through two thicknesses of 2" thick timber then bent the projecting pointy end over).

 

That is exactly what I mean.
Still it is all down now, only need to find somewhere to put the iron sheeting until we can organise a Scrap Dealer visit. The wood will be cut up and keep us warm over winter ( and blow the Doxins).
