Shed I

My new shed was delivered today. Bought it from http://www.buyshedsdirect.co.uk, which I can recommend so far, for reasonable price, ease of purchase and delivery. Delivered to my allotment on the day requested, with a text the previous working day to confirm am or pm slot. They don't deliver at the weekend, but happily my purchasing the shed coincided with school half term holidays, so I was taking a few days off anyway.

The shed is only 6x4' (maximum size allowed on our plots - although some folk do seem to have sneaked larger ones on there, but it'll do me). I bought a cheap ship-lap version as I won't be keeping anything expensive in it. However it is made from pressure-treated timber that (allegedly) won't require annual repainting with creosote substitute or similar stinky chemicals.

Construction begins tomorrow, with help from one of my brothers, and the Under-Gardener, so I cannot yet vouch for ease of putting the thing together, but having lugged all the bits on to my plot it seems pretty solidly constructed, for a shed at the cheaper end of the market. Free solar light too, which is a bonus.
