Putting up a Garden Shed 1

This is what we have been busy with for months.  Yes, we are putting up a garden shed next year!!  Not a big deal actually, but, what if it is a DIY project?  :-p  Lots of preparation job to be carried out.

1.  Weeding
Ever since last Sept holidays, we have been busy weeding.  The grass and the roots were like wires, I just couldn't find a better description for that.

2.  Building Application to council
Just submitted on Monday.  If everything goes well, approval will be in 5 weeks time.  Keeping double fingers crossed for that.

3.  Laying the concrete slab
After weeding, we proceed to the next stage, which is laying the concrete slab.  Before laying it, we have to compact the ground. We don't hire a compactor, instead, I am the compactor!!  Pour the water over, then try to do a ' penguin walk' on the wet sand.  Good idea huh?

Once the ground is compact, we level the ground using a garden shovel and a garden fork, with the aid of an inclinometer (not sure if it is right, the ruler with 3 bubbles).  This is the most tedious job of all and it is our current task!!  When the ground is level, then the concrete slab is laid.

We need to lay 80 concrete slabs, and we are at 12th right now.  Gam ba te ne...

The weather has been good this week.  So, I am stealing my blogging time for this.

4.  Purchase a garden shed
This should be the easiest of all.  As we shall pay the garden shed assembly cost : )

Waiting anxiously for this day to come!!
