    Hello after sorting out a massive pile of bits yesterday at plot for bonfire today about 1metre high of stuff, went to the allotment today had a massive bonfire in small bin to burn brambles from off plot with help of some bits of fence wood which does burn well - may have a few small holes in trousers now bit - not so good

    Found out who new owner is of plot next to me as they were strimming it all down today, it is Ross from the plot along in front of mine oh well wanted new people up this end not happened

    Me want to get on with doing the shed again this week top layer 

    Scroggin is the shed for home or for plot

    Think I need a new fire bin as bit of a hole in bottom of this one now, have to add to plan where I want the area then may get few paving slabs for under it

    Moved finished pallet benches to patio now so will take pics and add to here and pallet thread

    Been to allotment today sawing, drilling and sorting out my shed, just need to collect loads of pallet planks for the outside and sort though the ones I have in a pile on plot sorted some. 

    some for decking and compost bins - there where some big spiders under the plastic and pallets 

    Done a bit of painting of my scaffold boards nearly enough for one raised bed

    Here is a picture of my bench, seat and table
