Spring Cleaning - Part 3:
Summerhouse
I mentioned that this is now full of stuff that used to be stored in the shed.
My master plan will see most of the shelving from here get transferred to the new/bigger shed.
Which will, in turn, make the Summerhouse a much more usable space too.
However, after over 10 years of neglect, there was some restoration work to do.
So wood filler was appied to areas where cracks had started to appear.
You can also see how faded the green paint/wood preserve is.
So I've made a start on giving the whole exterior a couple of coats of wood preserve.
Between the shed, fence panels and the Summerhouse, it is no wonder I'm on my 3rd 9 litre tub of Timbercare.
This is still a work in progress, but it should look good when finished.

Fence Repairs
You may remember this photo of my fence line, as seen from my neighbour's side.

It is a bit wonky to say the least and it slowly getting worse, resulting in one panel and one trellis falling out completely.
So I needed three sections of wood to extend the sides of the fence panel.
I also had to build an extended
Frankenstein trellis from a collection of 'left overs'.
After that was treated, it could all be slotted back into place.
If you look closely at the edges, you can see how the extension pieces work.
At some point, all of the concrete fence posts will need to be removed and reset.
But that is a HUGE job and one for another day/year.
