It's looking fabulous Sian I flicked back to the very start of your thread...Wow truly an amazing transformation. Well done

I would start by looking at what plans, land registry documents etc you and your neighbour have with your neighbour. Then have a look at the present situation on the ground, again with neighbour for any sign of old boundary alignment with other neighbours etc. After that see if you and neighbour...

I've recently installed a tool shed and a potting shed - they both came with a single piece roof - which is lifted into place and slots on top of the walls. I could have easily applied the felt before installing the roof. I also found out that you do not tack the roof felt at the rear of the...

I had a hedge hog in my pond a few years ago. I watched it for a few moments before getting it out. Anything that is in the water automatically goes all around the outside trying to find somewhere to scramble out. My pond has over hanging stones around the outside, so kind of a death trap...

Looks good. Really like the low wall. I have nothing like that around beds.

Harry the Hedgehog in our garden. I never thought this would happen as the garden is fenced in but there was one small gap. We had a few unusual black poo’s on the side of the pond ,still not convinced we put out some cat food …..that disappeared………could have been a cat……. Until we put the...

Hi,I never completed this now old thread so now being driven indoors by wind and heavy rain I can spend a bit of time to update.Just for interest I made two aluminium petrol tanks; one to copy the original and the round one already shown ready for welding.After making every mistake...

Little shed / workshop update… Working on and off over the weekends, it has taken almost a year to get this built, but I'm finally on the home straight. The workshop has been clad in dark grey metal sheets to be relatively maintenance free and hide into the background of the garden. I just have...

Hi,I've recently been felling 15 tall trees and wondered how to determine their height so I browsed YouTube and here's just one of many videos which I found very useful indeed.I was concerned about the trees landing on the bungalow roof or on the lane at the top of the garden both would...

I sat out there today watching the fa cup final....was gorgeous

It's got great potential. It's maybe a bit shady for a decent lawn, is there a clearing that gets more light?

If the felt leaks then really you need to recover it, a bit of a pain I know, but after a few years of painting stuff on my shed roof I bit the bullet and recovered it.I did use this for a while.

I thought it was something like that.

So I have this area in front of a raise driveway , it gets no direct sunlight but plenty of indirect (if that makes sense). The hydrangea is blue and does really well where it is, I would like something around it to complement the colour but unsure what would work best. (The weeds will be gone...

@Selleri Thank you! She is 11 and started to use it more now it’s getting warmer!

Thanks for the kind words jocko

I think rebar will sag, personally, the longest one looks like over 3 metres. It will also rust, ok you can paint it but I think it will rust in time.

Got all my stuff now to start the solar shed project. Just want some warm weathee now so i can still putting it altogether…….

i can confirm….
