Hello everyone, iv been a member for a while but iv not posted on here do I thought it was about time I did, :tongue2:

Looking down to the end, notice the hill at the front and the forest at the bottom and also the weeds inbetweeners lol, am starting to think I was stitched up lol,
Oh well,
So I started clearing some of the dodo off it and from just at the bottom I ended up with a skip full of stuff,
Anyhow my 1st priority was a shed so off I went and raided my workplace for all there pallets and got a nice solid base down!

Well done you a great shed :D :D

great start to the plot..
you need somewhere to store everything and keep dry if it rains..
keep up the hard work..you will soon see the benefits..

I hope your house is one of those close at hand. Being a cynical old Hector ! I wish you the best. Cheers, Tony.

Excellent! really impressed with the pallet shed - they're really handy them pallets :D
good luck with clearing the rest! :ohmy:
-
Nice shed ;)
You'll be able to use the width of the pellets on the wall to add insulation!
Snug as a bug :D

Looks good to me.

Good idea - why don't you start a diary here
http://chat.allotment-garden.org/index.php?board=37.0
so we can follow how you get on :)

Really enjoyed seeing your pics. Well done and thanks for sharing.

Haha thats great MightyScouse!! First thing I did when I got my plot. And its always better to have a bit more room than a standard shed. With a similar sized roof I can fill a 1000l IBC in a couple of rainy days
-
It looks great, well done ;)

Iv been back round today and finished the shed except for a few minor bits still to do :nowink:,
Whilst I was there the Chairman came round to see me and to give me some brilliant news,
The committee have raised money to hire a jcb to give the allotments a bit of a make over, but the best thing is he has told me that they are taking the mound of dodo at the front of my allotment away for me and also taking the top layer of the rest of the plot away for me and if that's not enough they are bringing me some top soil too!!!!!
Am one happy man!
Alls I had to do was clear anythin that I needed off the part that's getting cleared so off I went!
1st thing I done was cleared the mess up.
