How can you be so cruel, I've had that shed your years and years and years - lol

Once the roof is on I intend to raise the shed roof a little, putting a poly carb roof on it and when I walk in there I wont have to duck - nor will Gazza. I'll also access it from the 'hole' end and remove the other door, which means I could extend the growing on pond - Projects, dont you love them!!!!!!!

Knew the 6-metre x 2.1-metre sheets would be big, but they are BIG. Should be fun fitting these in a breeze!

Bob what ever happened to the saw and chisel? Always get a cleaner cut! Are you going to soften then edges by using a router?

Can't wait to see it finished. Keep it coming nearly been 12 months from the start hasn't it? :roll: :wink: :lol: :wink:
