Would you believe I have just taken procession of a house which has two
wooden sheds -(shudder everyone) - at the bottom of the garden.

The 6 x 8 area between them is soil, quite muddy right now . What to do ?

Option one - close up the gap between them by moving one or both sheds and
use the released space the same way you use the nearest adjacent bit of
garden.

Option two - leave the sheds where they are, gravel the gap, and site
waterbutts there that are filled by the sheds' roof run-off. This may
involve you in a bit of guttering work, but the result will be worth it.

At the top of the garden we have a large paving patio which is very sad -
covered in algae and uneven. When wet looks sad, when dry looks sad.

Only slippery when wet would you believe.

Lift enough of the area's slabs to site a greenhouse, then cover some of the
rest of it with potted plants.

Put a couple of chairs and a brolly table on the remaining bit and treat
yourself to a bottle of Pimms and a bowl of fruit and salad stuff (see
Pimms' label for details).

If you now don't know what to do you are beyond helping.

Brian,

I go along with the bottle of Pimms No. 1 - its on my every Xmas list.

Could gravel the area I suppose but some person on the Newsgroup may think
this dangerous - twist an ankle etc and difficult for wheelbarrow etc.

No thought decking was practical for this job and was looking for advice on
Redwood v. Hardwood.

Thing got out of hand with some opiniated whally putting an oar in.

Never did get the help I was seeking.

Have another nice Day


Len
