I couldn't do that, too many cats around and i'd always think they were "soiled" :sick:

Top job though Toby. :cool:

I so need a new shed! I just gave mine a small revamp today, although I've not stained it yet as I got rained off just as I was finishing. Where the fence panels are on the right of the picture, used to be large bushes that overhung the top of the shed. They basically completely rotted that whole side of the shed out, you may be able to make out how bad they are on the soil which is the next job to be done.  :sick:

Nothing like a garden revamp - looks good :)

I did ours last year. Spend so much time in the garden now. Love it.
