The Perfect Spot

 Having finished the potting bench, I now need to find somewhere to put it!

Actually I had had the perfect spot in mind for quite some time. The problem was that the perfect spot was filled with garden shed junk and detritus.

Hence, today's first job was to empty the front half of the shed.* The contents were unceremoniously dumped in the car port, giving me enough space to work.  I then attended to the perfect spot

We moved in back in 2021, and I hurriedly threw up some shelves in the perfect spot, just to avoid dumping stuff on the floor.** These shelves now needed to be taken down and relocated much higher on the wall.

This was not straightforward, as I needed to insert a section of timber studding to support the shelving brackets.

By the end of the day I had inserted the aforementioned studding, and relocated the shelving brackets.

30% is very pleased with her new potting bench and is keen to start using it. She even offered to get my workshop vacuum out and hoover up the mess in the shed.

* We call it the shed, but it is actually a room in the large outbuilding that sits alongside of the cottage. The "shed" is the room that sits between the garage and the car port, and is so named because its contents are, most definitely, what one would keep in a garden shed ... mowers, the rotamatiser, forks and spades etc

** At that point the back half of the shed was filled to chest height with logs and kindling ... it was a bit of a state!
