Shed

January 30, 2008

Shed site levelledIt took a while but work on the shed has commenced. First the designated spot needed clearing and leveling. We brought in a digger and a dumper truck from Jamie MacQueen to perform that task.

After some pondering we decided to go with a concrete shed as that will be much sturdier than a wooden one and hopefully also less maintenance. This means that we need trenches for foundations, not just a concrete slab. Also, it will be more of a challenge as a DIY job, but we’ll see. If we get stranded at any point there’ll be professional help which is an assuring thought!

Gully for better drainageThe trenches will be done tomorrow, while the majority of the digging and leveling work was completed today. Also the drainage of the area in front of the future shed has been improved as we used to have a bit of flooding there. Now a perforated pipe is laid next to the access road which empties into a trench which is in turn connected to the burn that runs to the sea…

As far as the weather is concerned, I’ve now seen weather warnings for the whole of the western part of the UK: gales and heavy rains until Sunday. Winter is not gone yet!!
