It’s a tad chilly here this morning. -2c.

And there’s me thinking you Harley types were rough, tough individuals?

This ended up being a full hour completely stopped, engine off and waiting. Turned out a few people had a much worse day, at least three cars completely torn apart and deaths from the body language of the multiple emts.

Well I have had an interesting day,   The instructions said it would take two people 6 hours to put up.  I managed to get 90% of it up in 6 hours on my own until darkness stopped play.  My boy did help me for the last hour.  Just got some finishing off to do tomorrow.   
Knackered now 🙂

Finished my shed.   Just got to anchor it down this afternoon then order some shelves.    Pretty pleased with it to be honest.  Fiddly bastard to put up but got there in the end.    The base is perfectly level, I would imagine there would be no chance of putting it together if the base was uneven.  Laughed when it was delivered as the guy that brought it said “Make sure you keep the boxes mate they won’t take it back if you don’t”.   Got the feeling that many have been sent back in frustration 🤣

Took me 8 hours to put it up.  Much quicker and cheaper than building my own.   Would have preferred to do that really but just don’t have the time or energy if I am honest.

Nice shed there @Saul....liking the skylights @ the peak of the roof. Best part, it won't rust. 👍:classic_biggrin:

It's the same brand Costco sell in the states, loads of good reviews about them so should be okay.  I just want somewhere clean and dry out of the house to store my bike gear, luggage and tools.    I have the idea that I can walk out the back door gear up in the shed then head out.   To be fair my gear is taking over the dining room so I understand why I am getting grief from the wife over it.  🤣

My Yardmaster shed was a bastid to assemble, each panel and strengthening supports were individually numbered........ with stupid long numbers.....the panels were all numbered with a A , but the numbers did not follow, Panel A216 connects to Panel A 412 (for example. Panel 1 to 2 to 3 would have made it simpler.

None of the parts were labeled on mine either so that made things interesting.  To be fair Lifetime have a load of 'how to' videos on Youtube which I would have struggled without.  Oh and the screws and bolts were on a blister pack so that helped a lot to.  😏

Mine took 2 days to assemble, mostly by trial and error. 😂

Looks nice, @Saul

Is it bolted down? How heavy would you say it is?

It’s  lighter than a Church … but heavier than a Witch
