I've been out screwing today.....

Well? Un-screwing to be more precise.
Been up to make a start on the Big Shed today. (Well actually it
was in April & May this year)
I’ve un-screwed about 50 of these screw type bolt screws.
HTML http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii6/Fluffle-Valve/Big%20Shed%20Project/13-04-20125.jpg
Still a load more to come out, but I didn’t want the shed
collapsing while I sleep tonight.
HTML http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii6/Fluffle-Valve/Big%20Shed%20Project/13-04-20122.jpg
This is the shed I have brought from the Malcolm Arnold Academy
on Trinity Avenue.
HTML http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii6/Fluffle-Valve/Big%20Shed%20Project/13-04-20124.jpg
It measures 12’ x 26’ and a few others and I are taking it down
and transporting it to my place tomorrow.
HTML http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii6/Fluffle-Valve/Big%20Shed%20Project/13-04-20129.jpg
I can’t wait to get it home.
HTML http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii6/Fluffle-Valve/Big%20Shed%20Project/13-04-20128.jpg
It needs a few repairs to it, but it came a price I could
afford, so I don’t mind fixing a few bits here and there.
HTML http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii6/Fluffle-Valve/Big%20Shed%20Project/13-04-20123.jpg
I shall be doing a few modifications to it when I erect it.
HTML http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii6/Fluffle-Valve/Big%20Shed%20Project/13-04-20122.jpg
First though, I need to get the base finished off so I can get
on and get the BIG Shed up.
HTML http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii6/Fluffle-Valve/Big%20Shed%20Project/17-03-20122.jpg
The shed came down today with the help of Pete, Tom, Stuart and
John.
I’m very grateful for their help and I can’t thank them enough.
We all worked very hard today and I feel quite shattered now.
09:30 start at the school.
HTML http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii6/Fluffle-Valve/Big%20Shed%20Project/14-04-20121.jpg
Very soon had the rest of the screws out and panels started to
come off.
HTML http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii6/Fluffle-Valve/Big%20Shed%20Project/14-04-20122.jpg
Roof off now.
HTML http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii6/Fluffle-Valve/Big%20Shed%20Project/14-04-20124.jpg
More panels off.
HTML http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii6/Fluffle-Valve/Big%20Shed%20Project/14-04-20127.jpg
And more.
HTML http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii6/Fluffle-Valve/Big%20Shed%20Project/14-04-201210.jpg
Time for Tea/coffee. My father-in-law went out and brought a new
kettle and made us all a beverage.
HTML http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii6/Fluffle-Valve/Big%20Shed%20Project/14-04-201213.jpg
Nearly all down.
HTML http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii6/Fluffle-Valve/Big%20Shed%20Project/14-04-201215.jpg
Time out to play with Pete’s dog, Poppy.
HTML http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii6/Fluffle-Valve/Big%20Shed%20Project/14-04-201217.jpg
Just the floor to go.
HTML http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii6/Fluffle-Valve/Big%20Shed%20Project/14-04-201219.jpg
All on the trailer ready to go, but first fix the lights.
HTML http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii6/Fluffle-Valve/Big%20Shed%20Project/14-04-201227.jpg
Back at mine and time to unload. This proved to very hard work
and we were all knackered when finish.
HTML http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii6/Fluffle-Valve/Big%20Shed%20Project/14-04-201231.jpg
While starting to unload we saw a plane come by very low and we
thought it was lost.
However, it was a planned fly past for the saints.
HTML http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii6/Fluffle-Valve/Big%20Shed%20Project/14-04-201230.jpg
Well it took another couple of hours to get the shed into my
garden. But it got there in the end.
HTML http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii6/Fluffle-Valve/Big%20Shed%20Project/15-04-2012.jpg
Now I need to sort the corner of my garden and get a concrete
base done.
My old Kango gave up on me and I had to source another one from
the bay of E.
HTML http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii6/Fluffle-Valve/Big%20Shed%20Project/NewKango1.jpg
I need to transform this lot.
HTML http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii6/Fluffle-Valve/Big%20Shed%20Project/17-03-20121-1.jpg
I had a little bonfire to get rid of some timber and a load of
other shite that was not needed.
HTML http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii6/Fluffle-Valve/Big%20Shed%20Project/17-03-20125-1.jpg
So after many days munching and a crunching I was finally ready
to mix some concrete.
HTML http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii6/Fluffle-Valve/Big%20Shed%20Project/20-04-20124.jpg
Fist bit of concrete down now.
HTML http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii6/Fluffle-Valve/Big%20Shed%20Project/21-04-2012-morning1.jpg
And the second bit down.
HTML http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii6/Fluffle-Valve/Big%20Shed%20Project/22-04-20124.jpg
Been out and brought some more ballast and cement.
The trailer was a tad over weight and my Rover 75 did struggle
to get going at times.
HTML http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii6/Fluffle-Valve/Big%20Shed%20Project/22-04-20121.jpg
Wheels were splaying outwards with the weight.
HTML http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii6/Fluffle-Valve/Big%20Shed%20Project/Trailer-Balast3.jpg
I’ve now wheel barrowed half of the ballast up the garden for
the next stage in mixing concrete.
HTML http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii6/Fluffle-Valve/Big%20Shed%20Project/22-04-20125.jpg
Inbetween showers and during showers, I have been trying to find
the time to get some more Concrete laid.
It's been hard, but I manage a bit more last weekend.
HTML http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii6/Fluffle-Valve/Big%20Shed%20Project/28-04-20121.jpg
I've also been out again and got myself another load of balast.
Roll on the weekend again and i hope it don't rain so much?
HTML http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii6/Fluffle-Valve/Big%20Shed%20Project/28-04-20122.jpg
Been busy with the shed in between rain showers.
I got this far by the 05/05/2012
HTML http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii6/Fluffle-Valve/Big%20Shed%20Project/05-05-20121.jpg
All the concreting has done and ready to lay the floor out.
So with the help of my mate Stuart, My brother-in-law and his
mate from work, we set too and got on with the shed erection.
First the floor.

HTML http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii6/Fluffle-Valve/Big%20Shed%20Project/12-05-201237.jpg
So this is how it’s looking tonight.

HTML http://i260.photobucket.com/albums/ii6/Fluffle-Valve/Big%20Shed%20Project/12-05-201240.jpg
Roof going on tomorrow.
Slowly getting there. Keep watching...
Shed is now up with roof on.
Still need to do a few repairs to it, but it's now a fully
functional shed.
It was 12’ x 26’, but I have cut it down to 12’ x 20’. Hence the
reason for odd gap in the middle.

A man can’t have too many sheds... I have seven now....
The BIG shed, which is empty at the moment.
A Pond Shed for all my filters
Two general storage sheds for Land Rover stuff and household
stuff.

Then three with Garden implements, tools, timber storage and
mowers, etc

You know you're a better man for new added sheddage, John.
And Fluffy...that is a wooden shed of eminence, with a great
photologue to accompany.
As it was evidently once a groundsman's shed, what's the money
on it previously smelling of 2-stroke and creosote?

the roof and windows on the shed I had given me.I,m going to
line the inside with chicken wire and I need to sort out an

that is a great shed review, just be aware that shit expands to
fill the space as we all need space to work. Have an annual
'shed clear out' of what you think you don't need.
This is clearly aimed at those people with too many
overdrives.... :rolleye0012:

I do need to clear some of the shit out of my shed. Having got
the hens evicted into a proper run its now full of nesting
swallows. Great to watch fly but do they ever produce a lot of
shit. So much so that last night I could not face doing the UJ
job in the shed, I decided to do the work out in the
yard.....great, till I found I was lying next to the dogs
contribution.... :haha:

Day off today and with my neighbour Alan we emptied out the
garage and new shed they had got full of allsort of crap to the
extent that you couldnt get in the garage and the the shed wasnt
far behind.Bit of judicious disposing of stuff and the shed has
been turned into a small workshop needs electric soon,and the
garage needs taking down straightening and the roof sorting and
I can have some shelving and should be able to get the champ in
there.

hmm it's time i found another shed, double garage and a single
in the bottom of my garden that i can't get into and i've just
collected my "new" lathe which has had to be reassembled in my
dads shed, shame his power supply isn't up to me turning it on,
silly old bugger connected to the back of the cooker socket 40
odd years ago
so i'm now on the lookout for another sectional garage so i can
use 2/3 of it as a decent size shed
