    The shed is in! It's down the bottom of the garden, against the ugly concrete/breezeblock north facing wall, and the combination of a half-complete paint job and the shed is already improving the look of things down there :rolleyespink:

    Nothing in this garden is flat or level in any direction, so we built up a timber frame for the base first:

    And then the shed sits on top of that.

    Simple! Other than the door opening the wrong way and the moulding for the glazing not being the right lengths, but, you know, it would be boring if things were too simple :doh:

    I spent today painting and building shelves and hanging hooks inside:

    I had hoped to start unpacking stuff in there too but ran out of time, so that will be a job for the bank holiday weekend. The other plan for this weekend is the build some raised veg beds, so :fingers crossed: :fingers crossed: :fingers crossed: we have a productive time!
