By the way Dai some really lovely pictures.
Dont be like that
, no sulking especially this time of year . Thanks for your kind words. Its a labour of love (see my response to Veggie). Sadly Ive documented the whole project since I broke ground in July 2018 in pictures! Just finished building a corner sofa for daughters summerhouse couple of weeks ago and waiting for the material (today) to get the covers made.Cheers

DaiWig, are your skills of a DIY nature or is this sort of thing your trade. Your pics make it look so easy.

When you've retired and have a few spare minutes, I'm not far down the M4 - my shed's falling apart.:
Seriously, retirement is wonderful. Don't know how I ever found time to work.
PS, You can bring your Vino.

Is your poly at home or on an allotment?
Is that a power cable that I spy?
PS We're very nosey here...............I'm one of the worst.
Its at home but have a really weird set up. My neighbours garden is next to our house with side access for them to get to their backdoor. The garden is about 30m away. I retire in 18 months so 2 1/2 years ago, I decided to completely remodel the garden (420m2!) with polytunnel and decking on the bottom tier (it slopes from back to front - highest at the back), middle tier is grass and grass garden with a very old apple tree and weeping willow and the top tier has (will have) 2 summer houses. Small one for my daughter and a grown up one (27m2) - footings are down. Theres also a metal shed which Ive extended out and up for storage. The garden is wired up with CU in small summer house and shed extension ready to run mains power from the house but have extension leads at the moment until I connect the 60A cable from the house to the CU in the shed extension. Theres only the main summerhouse to build now, everything else is pretty much done so I can put my feet up in 2022!! Shed extension pics attached!

What part of Cardiff are you in? as I used to live in PSE when I left Uni and also lived in Column Road for a few years - still have life membeship of Cardiff Uni Student Union even though I didnt go there! I know the city really well and remember watching the rugby from the stands at the Arms Park - long time ago!!

PSE??? Is that one of the Colleges?
I grew up in Maindy, used to walk down Colum Road to work. Now I'm in North Cardiff, out in the sticks.
