+RonC Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 I'm changing my 'lift off' type obsy for a roll on/off type, similar to the one I had at my previous house.

+RonC Posted October 9, 2019 Author Share Posted October 9, 2019 Apparently it should be called a ' shedatory'. You live and learn! waiting for the shed lorry to arrive! Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+RonC Posted October 9, 2019 Author Share Posted October 9, 2019 Well the shed arrived at 8am this morning (minus the roofing felt!) . So after work about 1.30 pm I started erecting it, the wind was a problem and the odd shower didn't help but managed to get it somewhere near finished about 7 pm! I had some spare roofing felt and have temporarily covered the roof. Biggest problems were the doors! I attached them with the base rolled back but when I pulled the shed too the doors were all over the place!! Eventually re-hung them in the forward position and all seems OK now.. Still a work in progress as I have the front to finish and new felt when it arrives.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+RonC Posted October 10, 2019 Author Share Posted October 10, 2019 (edited) Bit more done today, strong padlock and a rear skirt added. Put the NEQ6 mount in and there's plenty of room to fir the scope in the Home position.. Still got to sort the bottom front and barge boards etc.. but it's started to rain hey ho!!!

+RonC Posted October 10, 2019 Author Share Posted October 10, 2019 (edited) had an idea today, to stop the shed rolling backwards AND to keep the runners clean I have put some sawn timber in the running slot to do both jobs!!

+RonC Posted October 10, 2019 Author Share Posted October 10, 2019 And this is what I wanted, the mount and scope (150PDS) set up ready in the home position. Yes that is a shower cap on the Primary end, keeps the creepy crawlies out!! +Streetbob, BAZ, Joe and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
