Quoting: Roadkill on 10th March 2014
If the weather stays nice I'll get the roof done at the end of this month and finish Project Shed #2, too !
Well, that kinda highlights what kind of year I had last year . . . the Shed has had its temporary polythene roof cover for well over a year, now.
No leaks, though, despite its pikey looks.
Needless to say it's on the top of the list, after sorting out the garage to get that roof felted.
Another thing that's become apparent is that I'm using the Sheds . . . a lot.
That's good, of course, but it's become clear that the plastic shelving units in "Shed II" are not man enough for the items I need to store in there (I added a steel shelving bay in "Shed I" late last year to store Caddy bits on).
It's not just because they're a bit weak, most of the problem is because of the amount of pillars/legs there are supporting all the shelves . . . (see pictures above) . . it really hinders getting larger items in (think Christmas tree box, tent bag etc . . )
So -
I have an abundance of thick timber shelving available, left over from projects at work, that I intend to use in place of the plastic shelving units.
The plan is to have them free-spanning from front-to-back, meaning no legs or supports to get in the way so I can get some big stuff in there.
I also intend to install steel nosings to the front of the shelves (like in "Shed I") so they'll be solid and able to stand up to getting knocked about.
Not really a job I wanted to do but it won't take long, will cost maybe £15 (for screws and timber batons) and will make the second shed much, much more use-able.
I will wait til the weather gets a bit better first, though, I think.
P.S, If anyone wants 5 x plastic shelving units, barely a year old, in good, clean condition, let me know.
