The roof will be extended to cover the shed area (Marked in yellow on picture) and in doing so I'll raise the roof's up to match the height of the main pond roof. Therefore the shed's will get a bit of a make over (Capt Nemo ). The shed entrace door will be moved so it will be roughly where it joins the pond roof, so access will be via the under cover area.
The pathway will be widened a little (shown in red on the picture) with some edging pathway brisks/blocks and a bit more crazy paving put near the decking to tidy the area up.

Your not getting any younger thats why i went up on the roof last week as obviously being the smallest and the youngest i thought it would be best
Hope your not in too much pain Bob and have you tried that Red stuff out of the bottle as i find that sometimes helps
It looks great and i did try to put the buttons in line but it was hard sliding around in the dark I did expect to see some side up by this weekend or the path done but i guess you've been taking it easy

Last week I fitted noggins between all of the rafters except 2-pairs of rafters, where I'd run out of wood. During the week it was very windy and the roof moved a bit, especially where there were no noggins. The poly carb sheet in this area moved a bit and actually popped out of the holding strips, but the centre buttons held it in place.
So first job today was to get that sheet back in place. At the same time I decided to add buttons to each noggin as well, which secured the sheet better.
Then the extra noggins were added and all fixed down nicely.
I then fitted some braces between the front posts and rafters. I knew I seen these somewhere before, and Danny contacted me in the week to say they were on his pond. He even picked me up some and passed them to me yesterday. So I fitted these as well today and the whole roof is now a lot more solid and flex's a lot less.
Next week It's back to a bit more digging and putting some pipes into the floor area, before a concrete floor is laid.
A few pics from today, some thanks to Daisy for some of them
