Shed raising/razing

[nmg]

Was lego your favourite childhood toy? Did you enjoy building forts and dens when younger? Are you handy with a hammer? We're going to be putting up a new shed in our garden at Gark Villa next weekend (7-8th October), and if conditions are favourable, take down the old shed as well.

Given Isobel's increasingly 'delicate condition', this is a thinly-veiled call for volunteers. In return, we'll feed you and ply you with good beer.

Anyone interested?

ps: apologies for the late notice - I only got a delivery date from the shed company yesterday afternoon!

Afraid I can't make it this time (I'll be in London that weekend) - but my wrecking bar is still at Faith's flat, so if you want to borrow it let us know and I'll get her to bring it into the office sometime in the week.

No problem. We're going to concentrate on putting up the new shed (we haven't hired a skip for the old shed, for a start), so I don't think that the wrecking bar will be that useful.

Curses. If it wasn't for Morrisons I'd be there with a crowbar.

Another pathetic excuse (he said, reading back through his friends' view)

Very sorry for not replying. Frankly I couldn't actually make it there ATM, which is a pity as this is the kind of thing I'm actually competent at. (Well it had to be something else as well as falling off things.)

I hope you get enough warm bodies on site who know which end of a screwdriver is the frontpointybit and which part is the endyouhitwiththehammer. And make sure there are enough wet puddles around to stand in whilst they're all playing with the powertools. Water and electricity, almost as much fun as a warm sheep-carcass under the floorboards during a dinner-party.

Do NOT strain anything. Either of you.

Very good luck
