Yeah, I've covered many an air mile on my builds before they ever hit the road.

Yesterday while still waiting, I carried on and added more bits to the new project. To be honest I started to have misgivings, why have I hoarded up all this stuff. So with the wall now showing at the back of the shed I can begin to tidily replace stuff. Then, out of the blue, the wife struck, "What is that doing on my patio?" and "where has all that sprung from?" I could tell she was miffed, I think it was the chop to the throat that did it, seems I'm about to have a clearance sale, she wants the shed back for her potting shed (it was hers originally, 40th. present). Now she has announced that we will go to one of these auto jumble thingys (we?) and she will help move it on. The hole in the ground is getting deeper. Sometimes its better to leave things alone. Feeling decidedly hen pecked this morning Roll Eyes

Oops. Well and truly busted. My commiserations.
Every so often the wife reminds me that it's been over 30 years, since she has been able to get her car in the garage. This usually happens, while she is scraping ice off the windows.

Yes its the wife's shed, 40th birthday present from me, so I am at fault. Seems the double garage needs a tidy out too, then I can start again. Its going to be called "Steve's Shack" from then on Grin
