Wood Storage Revamp

Glorious spring day! No excuses to not get out and get some solid work done!
I started with the laundry! We had a lovely breeze too, so getting sheets and towels done was a doddle!

I started by putting my stall out the front to see if I could sell any of the excess seedlings I had. Whoo-hoo! I made 13 bucks!!

Anyway, the real job today was redoing the wood pile area so it was more practical for me when stacking. Up until now I have had to think more about how to balance it safely. Plus the old weather canvas was looking pretty woebegone

First thing was to move all accumulated ‘stuff’ out of the way and get the canvas down (I won’t go into detail about the raining spiders bit)

The plan was to use up those pallets we got for free and create a walled in area. That way I can stack the wood higher without thinking I might get squashed at some point!

Of course the resident snoopervisor was on hand to… well I don’t know what he was trying to do except get in the way!

Hot Chocolate Break…

We mixed it up with a bit of aluminium siding as well (Yes, we are still the ‘Dodgy Brothers’ of building stuff)

An old tent provided the new weather proofing canvas over the whole thing

I mostly finished the job by clearing up all the pots/bags etc and putting the pallet floor back

After looking at the above photo I am thinking I may be able to hang some of my gardening tools off this pallet wall!!
We would still like to extend a single pallet wall further along as we fully intend to overstock on wood over summer. But for now, we are pretty pleased.

I am really looking forward to getting in here tomorrow and stacking it all up. We have another couple of loads of wood sitting in the front yard, so I should be able to get it all away in here.
It does look a little higgledy-pigglety but I am fairly confident it will do the job.

Quite tired now  – I’d show you the pizzas I made us for dinner, but too late – we ate them!

Hope everybodys day was fantastic!

Cheers!
