The blue building is my current\/old shed. The pile of stuff on the ground is the new one!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Yesterday old school friend Trevor very kindly helped me move Ken\u2019s old shed from his new place on Norwood Road to our home. Cheers, Trev\u2019!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It doesn\u2019t look too impressive (pictured above). But then you can\u2019t actually see it, as it\u2019s all under the roofing materials. The wooden crap on top is only there to stop stuff blowing away!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks also to Ken, for the shed itself, and for very patiently storing it in his garden for a good long while! And also to Ruben, our neighbour, who helped us unload when he saw us shifting the panels. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moving the \u2018new\u2019 shed highlighted the dodgy wiring to the current shed, which is overhead, and got in the way a bit! And access to the garden via the communal back passage-way (snigger) was always going to be hard work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next up I need to do the concrete base. And then it\u2019ll be time to start restoring and re-assembling the shed itself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anyway, we\u2019ve been very lucky. A free shed, and a free move of said shed. That\u2019s really something. And Teresa and I are very grateful. We were also lucky with the weather. Amidst frequent rain showers, some very heavy, we enjoyed a sunny spell for the actual move. The heavens just opening as we finished. Result!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I wish I\u2019d got some photos of the process of actually picking up and moving the shed. I should\u2019ve had Teresa ride shotgun, with some form of camera, recording the happy event! But the activity of doing it all was quite demanding, and chased all thought of documenting it from my mind. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The weather has been very changeable, and drowsily muggy, of late. When it\u2019s not cloudy and raining, it\u2019s warm and sunny. And the two states have been alternating rapidly. Just now we got back from a little lunch break in the sunshine, and boom, the rains cameth down. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
