Building the garden shed;...two days of hard slog, but it looks good.

Eventually, months after pouring the concrete slab, we finally got around to putting up the shed to house the bicycles, lawnmower and firewood. It look two days of hard slog, but Karin and the kids were a great help. Some small bits to finish, but it is basically done. Phew....

We started putting bits together in the garage, as it was a bit cooler in there. 
On the Sunday morning we really cracked on with the side panels and completing half of the roof. This needed doing first, as the shed was to
be put up flush with a wall (i.e. we would not have rear access once it was up).

Yes, there was some blood, as is to be expected when working with sheet metal.

Ons liefdes wat help. X X X !

The shed taking shape...

Sandri also dropped in after returning from NZ yesterday. She was also a great help with man-handling the roof and
shed into position.

Tippy Toes...

Sweating in the nice warm environment in the shed. Yep, good for shedding a pound or two, haha!

95% done. Final concrete lip to come, but that is minor.
Some other bits to follow, but we'll wait until some other bits are completed around the house in the next fortnight.
