My advice to anyone hoping to restore an ageing wooden shed or summerhouse is simple; knock the bloody thing down and buy a new one. Fixing this summerhouse has turned into an exercise in turd-polishing, it'll last several more years but it isn`t perfect, plus it's taken far more time and money than expected. Prices of timber and roofing felt etc risen substantially too which doesn`t help.
Looked forward to making the best of the late summer weather, getting out in the MGB and wasting petrol. Had a trip planned to North Yorkshire to a guy who's going to fix a CD player for me, should've happened last Wednesday but I spent the day on the bloody summerhouse roof! Now I need to paint the damned thing..........or persuade wifey to do it!
New kitchen's being fitted over the next 2 weeks so after a few weeks of relative calm a state of upheaval will return, might lock myself in the (freshly restored) summerhouse with a flask of coffee, a box of sarnies, a few favourite CDs and a bottle of whisky.........hang on, it's full of junk we're storing for stepson who's 'between houses' at the moment, so that plan won't fly.
It's been a strange year, that's putting it mildly.
