The message
from Paul Luton contains these words:

Our timber shed has been untreated for 15 years apart from refelting the
roof and is still sound.


The shed I'm assembling anew (as distinct from re-assembling) has
elements which are six years old, around fifty years old and well over a
hundred years old, and until now, none had been treated in that time.

It's not pretty, it's not even convincing as a shed, but it might
reassure those who have little - er, no wish to tie themselves to a
regular régime of performing the creomite ceremony.

A lot more has been done since I threw the page together, and it will be
updated as soon as the right-shaped tuits can be found. The roof is
covered in felt and the gap above the doors in the gable is filled -
albeit temporarily - with thick black polythene sheet.

I do have the tongue and groove boards to use, but I need to get my
hands on a circular saw to rip some six foot lengths of wood on the
diagonal - I'm blowed if I'm going to do it with a panel saw. (Not
having a ripsaw at present.)

As for hiding it - it's much too picturesque...
