Trying to dry the window frame I turned on the heater for almost an hour while I took Billy for a walk which seemed excessive but I wanted to give the wood the best chance to dry out. What did impress me hugely was the fact that Mt shed retained that heat all day, so […]

Windows and flaws

After storm Babet battered Britain it also battered me shed too, which unfortunately meant the window frames filled with water. I knew I needed to run sealer around the frame I even bought it but was going to do it this weekend hopefully it won’t have too big of an effect longterm

Holidays are coming….

Not a wasted day

Making Mommy breakfast in bed on a Sunday morning and taking Billy I found myself wanting to be productive but struggled to do much other than

From first to last
