Started typing sorted out marble rush which someone wanted building like the picture on the box, found the RHS page finished a cuppa off and hit submit ;)

Mines not showing yet but it got buried with chicken coup floor sweepings at the back end it'll push through
If your roughing it, Your doing it wrong ;)

Lack of planning on your part doesn't make it an emergency on mine

I like the RHS site no messing clear info :)
Got to get me some of that good 5h1t :)

You'll note from my other thread that I'm very worried about the risk of bringing Grazon herbicide onto the site.

New shelves for the new prep room. Washing up bowl holds the household first aid kit and other first aid stuff.

They match the clothes rail

Sod's law, my other floors look like the shelves and clothes rail wood, but that might have been overkill.

Spent the week pretty much bugged in recovering from Lurgey. We've all been ill since about 20 Dec, with hacking coughs and sore throats (Not covid). Hopefully I'm almost recovered, but family are still struggling.

I finally got my lotment keys. Planted my egyptian Walking onions into pods. Transplanted my sprouted garlic in to a planter.
I've been poring over seed catalogues and online listings and wringing my hands over the risk of putting lots of effort and some expense in and losing crops of spuds and tomatoes to blight, and losing alliums to onion and leek infections. That would break my heart.
Tomorrow, weather permitting, I will break ground in anger. Let's see how much I can do in half a day. I'll sure be pacing myself.

Easy go to stuff:

Spare toilet rolls
Bath towels
Head torches
screwdrivers and pliers
superglue
zip ties

stuff you might need right away and going to the right place and box might take too long.
Two is one and one is none, but three is even better.

Frnc, the finish on *all* of it looks great, good for you.

I've done so little today :( though there have been two deliveries - emergency order of feta cheese (it was because it was an emergency I bought from Waitrose :oops: :oops: :oops: and a new back door mat, 100% jute, no outgassing, noffink. Wanted to do gardening, but raining **again**.

Cheers, good idea. Obviously the lodgers know about the first aid kit so other general stuff they might want could go there. Our bog rolls come in a box too big for the shelves, but I could always take them out. At the moment they are on top of the landing wardrobe.

Thank you. It's not real wood, but I like the look of it anyway. I do have plenty of real wood in the house.
