A man needs a shed…

When we moved to our new home, a little over two years now, this place only had one garden shed, which became quite quickly  chockablock  with paint, tools and other things, not to mention the ride on.

So the quickest way to have more storage, was to erect a second garden shed, next to the first one.

Then, this one became very similarly jammed with all sorts of things.

One day, in March, Svenne decided he wanted "A" shed, "A" real shed, "A" man's shed!

And so began the making of this little beauty. All made with recycled material (apart from the roof).

You have to understand that this is a hobby job… Something he 's working at in between other jobs and rain showers which have been with us almost every day. We're not complaining though, as we needed it after a very dry summer.

Here is the step by step development of the "Grand Shed'.

First the digging and erecting the posts...

Then came the roof...

First wall...

The relocation of the first shed and concreting...

Second wall... and window...

More digging and removing tree roots and concreting...

Making the drain...

Third wall and door...

The relocation of the second shed and concreting...

Fourth wall, window and double doors...

It's taking shape all right. 

However, there's still more digging to do… and concreting… and flashing... and connecting electricity... and shelving… and finding a place for everything ...and putting everything in its place!  

And after a good coat of paint it will become "Svenne's Grand Shed"
