		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s the good life &#8211; or maybe not. No chickens and pigs in this garden -at least not yet. We do however intend to grow some fruit and veg. In order to do that you need somewhere to grow them. Having done some background reading it seems that using raised beds is a bit more [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The plan is to have vegetable beds by the shed. Therefore we&#8217;ll also need somewhere for all the garden waste/cuttings etc to go. Fortunately :0 I left a space for this behind/next to the shed.
Apologies for quality of the pics but you get the idea. Made from some old roof beams, wire mesh and left [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Now that it&#8217;s finally stopped raining I&#8217;ve managed to get outside and finish the shed.
I had to stain all of this log lap &#8211; I don&#8217;t recommend it, a very tedious job 

With roof finished, log lap nailed on and sealant applied the shed is finished:

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s been raining &#8211; a lot!!   So not much progress on the shed. It&#8217;s been sitting like this for much of the last couple of weeks:

I have managed to do a small bit of work on the opposite side of the same level as the shed. Whilst I&#8217;ve levelled out the majority of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The more observant out there will have wondered how the shed walls I built were going to stay up. 4inch screws into the base might hold the bottom but would soon fail if nothing was done at the top. To overcome this I installed M10 nuts, washers and thread in 3 locations at each corner [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m continuing the same principles for the walls as for the shed base. Namely using thicker materials than usual to ensure good structure. All of the frames and joints were pre-drilled and screwed.
I started each wall by building the frame on the shed base which I know is flat and level &#8211; makes checking for [...]]]></description>

Having looked around at the sheds available from the large DIY stores I decided to make my own. It will probably cost about the same money and won&#8217;t blow away with the first gust of wind. I can also make it the exact size [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[for the shed!
With the pads and electrics complete I could finally gravel the area under the shed (more wheelbarrows up the slope   )
It was a windy day, hence the stones holding the membrane down:

Gravel down:

Each pad gets some DPC in preparation for the base of the shed:

		<description><![CDATA[No, not a new house but a series of concrete pads onto which a new shed will be built.
First get the ground roughly level:

I then dug 4 holes about 3 feet deep and filled with hardcore. On top of this I set some square formers:

Having got the formers level (which took some doing!!) I then [...]]]></description>
