    Makes sense Z, just did what FIL told me to do. Too late was the cry now I suppose and its not as if we get lots of rain in this part of the country (NOT). Must make sure that I wrap the furniture up well.

    Unless you've bolted your shed down, you can retrofit the bricks (it's what I did).

    Put a brick down near the corner of your shed (empty) Put the blade of a spade on it and under the shed (near the corner) press down on the handle and the corner of the shed will lift. At this point your lovely assistant (and you should always have one of those) will stick a brick under the corner of the shed. Do it four times in total, and it looks like a car that stopped too long in Manchester.

    Hey, get me! I have cooked a beef joint a steak and ale casserole with dumplings, 20 fairy cakes and 10 sausage rolls which I made by hand, on my own, by myself from scratch!

    Thats it though for another year:rotfl:

    Had to just check my temperature there to see if I was delerious (sp)?:rotfl:
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.

    Part of the Furniture Photogenic Combo Breaker
    yay - finished what I want to do AQA! Wow, I can get used to this work part time in an office and only have to do a couple of hours a day on AQA, it is still only enough to cover everything, but I'm happy to do that, at least I'm not sitting here for 8 hours a day every day and when it is a quiet month dipping into my savings to pay the bills.

    It does mean I'll have to do stuff like housework instead though. Yuck.
    :D"Stay Wonky":D
