A shed, a shed, my kingdom for a shed!

As I said yesterday, I think, today I took Mum and Dad out to buy a shed for Mum's kitchen overspill.  Their current one measures 5 foot wide by 7 foot deep and has more holes than a colander - something had to be done!  Before we left they did some research online to get an idea of prices and then we set off ......... to my brothers for breakfast - well, you can't hurry these decisions now can you?

After our pitstop, the first stop (yet again) was Brigg garden centre.  We now had an idea of size (8 foot wide by 6 foot deep) and style of roof (pent rather than Apex) - I am rapidly becoming an expert! 




With a price list in our pockets from the garden centre, we then popped round the corner to Earnshaws (a shed and fencing place)where we sat in the glorious sunshine and cogitated - this firm included treatment, this one doesn't etc etc.  As we sat talking, another couple came over and we discussed sheds - finding out about another shed manufacturer that was around 15 mins away in Kirton Lindsey. 





So, off we went, to look round yet more sheds!  This time we ere offered discount on ex-demo sheds and sheds with different roofs which would hep with water drainage.  Although the roof raised the price considerably, the ex-demo shed compared favourably with the others that we had seen today.





So, we then headed around the corner to another garden centre for a cuppa and a discussion.  Dad went all sloppy and gave Mum his chocolate orange from the top of his chocolate orange cheesecake.  (I resisted all temptation - convinced that the cooked breakfast had taken me over my syns.  As it happened it didn't - but I will make up for no lunch with my steak and chips in front of Strictly tonight!)  It should come as no surprise that they decided to buy the ex-demo shed, and we went back to order and pay for it.  Being ex-demo sheds, they won't be available until 1st December - which gives Dad time to take the old one down and lay a bigger base for the new shed - thank goodness we sorted and de-cluttered the shed yesterday!
