A man's shed!

Mr R decided he wanted a potting shed - well he actually wanted a shed to call his own! We had visitors this weekend to help in the form of my brother Big Al, his partner intelligent Jane and the 2 boys Josh Bosh and Samuelus!!! Anyway finally the weather was good - the sun was out but it was still bitterly cold. The shed arrived last thursday but the shed company wouldn't assemble it as the base wasn't good enough. Mr R had put the base down in the snow the previous weekend but hadn't really done a good job!! So the shed company left it in pieces in the garden. On Good Friday we set too reconstructing the base and went to bed with half of it done. On Saturday our visitors arrived just as we were trying to finish off so I left Mr R with Big Al at it!! Eventually the base was finished and the work of construction began. Intelligent Jane made the big mistake of offering to help and ended up standing for ages holding the corners together! After great deliberating, huffing, chuffing, a number of cups of tea, cakes from the local tea shop the shed was finally erected!! HOWEVER for some reason there wasn't enough roofing felt so thats a visit to B&Q for us then!!The boys were absolutely no help at all but very entertaining. Next stop painting it but Mr R has already banned me from going into it - it is truly a Mans Shed!!
