The new shed has arrived

Shed looks very useful !
When the weather dries up, you'll soon get the finishing tasks done :o)

Thats a good size and fits in very well near the g'house Poppy, you`ll soon have it sorted, thats quite a large box so no doubt will be in use again shortly..

Lovely shed . . . shame the rain is stopping you from finishing the job. Half that box would make a great cold frame if you can make a lid (2 cold frames? :)))

Thanks Terra, Lincs and Sheilabub. Ive wanted a 'pretty' shed for some time now. I think the box may well have to be converted to a coldframe Sheila or if I can find space -two coldframes Im sure I can find an old glass window or door to hinge onto the top somewhere.

Lovely PL - maybe a planting bed :))))))))))

Aww thanks Paul and Meadow. Ive just looked at the photo again - Im such a messy moo! the rain has spread what started off as tiny little drips into great pools of paint. Im tempted to just put a chair, table and kettle in it Meadow -give me a few seedlings to prick out and Id be happy as Larry!

grat shed! I would use the wood of the bo to make a garden seat maybe?

everything looks messy in today's weather PL - bet you're so happy with shed - I remember getting ours :)))))))))))))))))))))))))))

Compost Bin!

nice shed..you can now become a member here..http://www.shedworking.co.uk/2007/10/studio-retreat-and-alternative.html

Your shed looks great. I hope you can finish painting it soon

You could convert the crate into a Coop..;) or a tree would be quite happy in there for a long time.

That looks good PL, love the colour.
Can you make that 2 chairs please.
Make sure you get it finished by Saturday or you wont be allowed to come out & play, Lol.

Lets make a hot bed out of the crate, then we can have yummy veg all year.

Roz thats a great looking shed you have there, now once its painted you`re not to get thinking it would make a great summer house.lol.

A very posh shed you have there, so useful, large enough to have a chair etc......kettle?

Thanks everyone, Im going to take my time over what to do with the box, thanks for all the suggestions, it has given me food for thought. As for the shed, no painting done at all today the weather was just relentless! I hope it will be a posh shed DD. I have some nice bits and pieces to put in it, bought at a recent trip to Newbury Garden Show. Ill put a picci on when its finished.

Will look out for it.....

Hi
I saw a lovely idea in a book where something like this was converted for storage (bins etc) with hinged door on front and a living (but lightweight) top for plants - I think it had plants like sedums on the top. Reminded me of a living roof.

Hi Sarah

Ive still not decided what to do with the box. I put the old lid back on the top and have been using it as a makeshift potting bench for the time being. It looks really messy at the moment. Ive seen those living roof tops, I especially like the ones done with sedums. I may get around to doing one - eventually!!
