Had a relatively relaxed weekend on the shed building front but still managed to get everything on the list done.
Saturday's plan was simple . . . Level, plumb, square and concrete.
Ian came over and it went to plan . . . took a bit of effort to level it and keep the legs all plumb but in the end everything was within 1mm on my 1200mm spirit level so I was happy with that !
Squaring it up, again was an effort, but with a few swift hits we got it within 3mm or so, corner-to-corner, top-to-bottom, so again, damn near perfect.
Next job was to get the water and sludge out of the 4 post holes (great fun) before mixing and pouring the concrete.
Once the concrete was in I had to just hope there was no major rain over night . . . I did cover the concrete up but that end of the garden is the lowest so any downpour would've flooded the post holes !!
Turns out I was lucky . . . we did have some rain but not enough to affect the concrete.
This was taken Sunday morning when I checked the concrete :
Sunday I opted not to do anything early-on as it was bright and sunny so it made sense to allow the concrete to further harden before bashing the frame about putting in more timber . . . .
I came back after lunch and checked everything over - nothing had moved so all good.
I got the six vertical timbers cut and installed, then trimmed and fitted the cladding at the front.
After a tidy-up of the garden I put the first coat of creosote/oil on as it started to get dark.
These were taken this morning :
During the week I plan to get the timber cut for the roof and do a couple of "tip-runs".
The plan for next weekend, though, is primarily to back-fill the area to the sides and rear of the shed . . . . .
