Shed base

I’m reusing the old fence posts (which were in a sorry state anyway!) as a base for the shed. Two were a bit too long – one of which was completely knackered.

Rather than get rid of it, I decided to use my toy the angle grinder…

And with the mini sledge and angle grinder I shortened the other perfectly

The extra length towards my neighbours fence will support a short bit of decking so during the winter we can store the chairs down there.

Similarly I need to get rid of the water coming off the shed, so rather than waste it, I’m running it into a water butt that came from the allotment.

The base was built using the old breeze blocks from the man cave renovation.

To finish off I need to put some pond liner between the base and the concrete blocks to stop the base rotting and some over the breeze blocks so they don’t dissolve.
