I know, way too logical :-) but yes, probably will do at some point!

Need to dig out the compost heap first, so I can redistribute the
non-rotted stuff. Might happen to do a lawn cut this weekend and add
some grass clippings too. Though more likely to be moss clippings.

Actually getting the roof nailed back on is first!

We were lucky - we have no outer lock and no windows so the vandals
who destroyed part of nearly every shed on site over Christmas didn't
break any of the main structure, and the roof felt was already
flapping. All we had was a redistribution of the shed contents all
over the place.

I felt sorry for the newbie family who'd put up a recycled shed, and
put a tiny little stained glass window in. We'd all been saying how
lovely it was.

Not any more :-(
