A Beautiful Winters Morning and a New Shed

After a trip to Brisbane to buy two 3mx3m sheds for less than half the price of one shed (gotta love eBay), we had a large jig-saw puzzle on our hand. spread out over the ground we were able to see which parts belonged to which shed and which one was in better condition.


Issac was up from Melbourne and helped his dad make the form work and then pour the cement slab which the shed was to sit on and a week later we were ready to fit the jig-saw together.

It was a challenge to say the least as we tried to get panels to line up, angles correct and pop rivets to go through existing holes when we could.


A last minute decision made things a lot easier as we went into town and bought a quality battery drill and pop riveter.

There were times when we both wished we had a few more pairs of hands, but we managed to get it together eventually and thankfully there was no strong winds on the day.

Once up we were able to clear all the garden tools and equipment out of the big shed which gives us some extra room now which is certainly welcome.

We have planted the obligatory Choko vine to grow over the shed (for food and to cover the roof, so its not too hot inside), a Dragon Fruit vine and spread  some crushed quartz rock around outside so it doesn't turn into a mud fest next time it rains.

 Woke up this morning early and discovered some of the local wildlife had come to browse on the fresh cuts lawn and clover patch. What made my morning was seeing the little joey inside its mother's pouch... looks like its only a few weeks old. I hope they can stay away from the fox that lurks around here too!!! Isn't nature wonderful and what a lovely sight to see first thing in the morning? It really sets up the day to be a magical one!
