The shed goes up 2.

 I came home after lunch at work, to find this state of progress. I thought immediately that it looked like it had been there a while already.

They said they would have to come back in a few days to fix/attach the flashings. I guess that's the black trim bits, and gutters.

A new beginning for the back

 Now that the shed is going up, it's worth starting to take photos of the way the very back garden will shape up.

This is the first - it looks so green and with lots of potential.

18 Sept 2020 -

19 Sept - Tutti kept me company as I did various jobs in the garden - sewed lawn seed etc.

19-20 Sept - We've had a bit of rain for two nights in a row, so I'm hoping the lawn seed with come up.In the meantime, it is terribly muddy and messy. I also planted the potted olive trees in the ground as a part-border for the veggie patch.

The shed goes up 1.

 The guys arrived at about 7.20 am. James and Michael. The shed was in bits on a trailer - it looked so small.

Now that the first roof truss is up, it looks huge and makes the roof of the house look terrible, so that is something that will have to change sooner rather than later. Perhaps after the storms predicted for the end of this year.

I had to go off to work, but I expect a big change when I get home this arvie. I locked the kitties inside today, while I was out, for their safety. They have a littler box, and plenty of water and crunchies.
