Last Saturday four women struggled with one electric screwdriver, one hammer and a set of crap instructions to assemble a cheap three by four foot shed. An early estimate for the time it would take to complete (one and a half hours) was out by two (hours!). That was after the man on the neighbouring allotment took pity on us and finished the job in about 20 minutes with some well aimed hammer blows! Men do have their uses! Comments about the shed from fellow allotmenters have compared it to a public toilet and a sentry box. We don't care, it will keep the tools dry and we hope to set up a small bar inside in the summer! Then they'll be impressed! Of course the main purpose for the shed was to collect water (there is none on the site). However an inspection today after a week of rain showed poor results from our makeshift pipe system....??!
