Posted April 7, 201311 yr Well I'm almost at the end of my quest for a new shed. A couple of tons of earth, replaced by 2 ton of hardcore and 1cu metre of concrete and I was able to put this up today. I still have to insulate and line the inside, fit some electrics and make up a ramp, but the end is nigh. My original plan was to dig it down to street level, however when digging I came across some yellow tape advising me of a gas pipe so couldn't go any lower
April 7, 201311 yr Well done jim" the paints faded on front very quickly. .. yeh diggin deeper mean s retaining walls also
April 7, 201311 yr Author yeh diggin deeper mean s retaining walls also I had to put in a retaining wall made out of sleepers. My garden slopes at a 1 in 3 angle so there was a hooria lot of digging involved
April 8, 201311 yr Moderator build a draw bridge in front. keeps the scum bags out and provide a handy ramp too
April 9, 201311 yr Good one Jimmy. Looks like there is a street light near your shed too, that'll help act as a further deterrent.
