    When I moved house we had no shed, there was an old wendy house but the site was not big enough for a full sized shed.
    I decided to dig out an area for the shed to go on, and improve the drainage around the garage while I did so.
    So I warily began to knock down the garden wall and get digging, 2 skips later and we could start putting in fence posts and gravel boards.
    This was then paved using recycled slabs from the hospital after their revamp.

    The shed was then duly delivered and filled with the usual clutter.
    I was well chuffed with that one.

    Well done David - I love to see photos of how people go about jobs. The finished shed look very good.

    Some of our neighbours have completely sunken sheds, because we live on a hillside they were dug in and completely covered, but they are always damp and the wood rotting, some have filled them in because they became dangerous.

    I've been buying a few bedding plants, but now they have finished blooming, what do I do with them?
