Ship-Shape Shed



When we got here this shed was a huge rotting rhombus of wood the colour of gravy. After so much attention (a few new panels, some cross-braces and a lick of paint), I'm hoping it'll last a couple more years. Now it really needs a length of gutter and a water-butt to counter the coming drought.

Listen, I realise my life's completely dull but what should I do, make stuff up? Next week: pure lies.

Pure lies is the new black.. and I'm all for it. The handles of your shed look smashing by the way. Top work. I'm off to descale the studio sink, can't wait!

Glad you like 'em, they necessitated a trip to Arthur Beale's yacht chandlers (one of Edward's favorite shops, besides the glamorous Clerkenwell Screws maybe). Hope you're going for the vinegar and 0000 grade wire wool option for the descaling session. Do wear gloves to protect those hands if you're using nasties... save 'em for all the other great stuff you do. x

It's from... wait for it: Lidl! Via Ed's mum's garage (she decided against it). Trust Germany to produce a cheap-but-good outdoor water-based paint... in grey; I could actually do with some more. Still don't have that guttering up though.

it looks fab :) as soon as you put the guttering up, it'll stop raining!

By the way, "Yes!", it WAS me who recently bought the bear in the swimsuit and 'butty bear' from you. LOVE them! S.
