I'm now studding out a bit in the inside to keep all the tools, junk / stuff out of sight of the rest of the workshop and also so if I'm working in there I can have a small heater.



Its come a long way..... its taken a LOT of effort and time but so worth it Smile One job became 10, raised the level of the garden, built a retaining wall, drainage, sink hole. I've moved many many tonnes of Crush (MOT), pebbles, beams, Sleepers, rebar, Wood etc etc. Worked in all weathers but look outside now and think 'wow' that's ace Smile Thumbs Up

Looks fantastic. Must be really satisfying to see the finished article after all the effort you put in.

Dare I ask. Has the S III marked her patch yet? Embarassed
