More Garden Shed Gardening in March ... can you believe it...Rhodendron's bloomin way early & this bee was enjoying it immensely! DH got new (old) door framed in one rotting end of my garden shed & we bought a couple new vinyl windows w/screens (so I'll be able to open windows! Yay!) ...I taped it yesterday & started painting...coming along, slow but sure: And with over 2 wks now of warm Spring/summer weather, was able to til the veggie garden...you can see my GJ a bit here...old post w/Condo birdhse, old wheel against post & other goodies! & March isn't quite over yet! Thanks, GJers, for your comments...appreciated! Jeanne S.

Very cute desertsteph. Next summer I intend to clean out the loft and lay plywood down over the rafters. Not only will it look neater but I can safely store items better up there. OR - a bed???? I'd better not get my imagination running again. Anyhow, perhaps the mice will be inclined to stay away or at least hidden; I doubt they would be able to be kept out all together. I noticed the other day two small holes in the metal roof, it was raining but no water was dripping; but I need to fix that. Next summer I also plan on having the metal roof of the house coated again, then if it doesn't cost too much extra I'll have them put some on the barn roof too. Not sure how they will patch those holes.

Of more concern is that the rug very likely will start STINKING after a few years. The latex rubber used on the back fails after a while. Google "stinky pottery barn rug" and you may change your mind. I certainly wouldn't buy it if it will be a financial stretch for you. If you are fine with throwing it out when it starts stinking, then go ahead. If you do buy it, laminate and save your receipt as you can get a prorated refund a couple of years down the road.

Hi @ my Annabel. I too am unclear about the shed meaning here. Do you wish it to be a normal garden shed that can be used as a cover for the harsh sun? Or do you intend to ask about sheds that can be alternatively used as a storage? Ideally people make use of garden shed as a storage for shelves and hooks and other gardening equipments. In case you have a bigger space for building the shed, you can alternatively use one as an outhouse for your convenience. If you provide a little more details on this topic, may be we can get better clarity and provide better ideas for your garden shed.
