just got my shed

[vee]

Well I've been to B&Q and bought a dark green preservative, and will probably paint it sage green over the top when it's weathered a bit. I also got a shiny new padlock and looked at all the rugs and was very tempted, but I resisted.

I just hope the roof is still on the shed - the wind has been so wild and noisy here that I've been imagining it going up in the air like the beginning of the Wizard of Oz!

I also just happened to go into Wilkinsons and Woolies on the way to B&Q and got some BOGOF seeds. ;D

Talking about other sorts of shed, the most unusual shed on our site is a pale blue and white former burger bar. Fortunately the person who has the plot does nothing at all so it's well hidden in a corner surrounded by brambles.
Thanks for all your good wishes :) :)

Congratulations on your new shed vee, and hope the afterglow lasts for a very long time ;)

brilliant, getting a shed, isn't it, we used old rubber car mats for the floor, it means it doesn't get slippy when it's wet, and we can shake the soil off, when it dries up, that is  :D

I fixed fencing wire over the corrugated plastic roof of my potting shed and added extra weight of wood to the front overhang because it was lifting in strong winds.
(Just attach it to the frame work on one side throw it over and fix it tightly to the frame on the other) It doesn`t lift now.

Hey kt how are you going to take a picture of my shed?  ::) ;D ;D ;D. I'll see what I can do kitten if it hasn't blown away in this wind.

Thing is they can't break into my shed since it doesn't have a door only a striped canvas drape over the front

Larkspur - I never lock my shed either - mind you, mine does have a door!  :) When all the sheds were broken into over Xmas, mine and my neighbours were the only ones not to get damaged or have anything taken - we are the only ones who don't have padlocks (we have nothing worth nicking either  ;D)

Thats the secret nothing worth nicking, tools scrounged or from boot sales plastic bins to shift stuff not wheelbarrows anything that might be resellable hidden in compost bins or under plastic sheets. I keep all my good equipment at home and only take it to the lotty when I am doing serious digging, hoeing etc. Worst that I have had is the "funny" shed kicked to pieces but I just nailed it back together again. It was a gift from someone who didn't want it and has no value :D ;D.
If you want to know what the wierd thing looks like see my avatar ::) :-[  ;D

I've just come back from visiting my new shed and it was all just as I'd left it on Wednesday when it was put up.  :o :o

What a relief that was - I'd been imagining the worst with the awful weather we've had round here. Now for the exciting bit of putting stuff in it...

Will there be room for me , I wonder ;)
The idea of rubber mats is a good one Manic - there were some in Wilkinsons for £1.99 and perhaps I won't need the wire over the roof after all Columbus, but it's a good idea for the future.
Larkspur, your shed looks like a beach hut - I love it 8)
