This week marked the chance for us to build the shed that has been sitting, in kit form, on the grass for the last two weeks. Through storm and head-wave, through house decoration and dog wee’s – the kit has finally come together as Becky’s shed. Now our garden is the litte-bit more tidy.
They said it would be hard. They said I’d need help. They said I belonged in front of a computer. They said I shouldn’t be allowed around power tools. Well some of those may be true. But I built a shed. And now I feel like a man.
But it has confirmed my suspicions. Now that I know I can do it. Now I know I am capabile. It’s not a case of I CAN’T do DIY, it’s a case of I’m not MEANT to do DIY. I really do belong in front of computers.
