Getting there!!
3 guys been digging nearly all day!
There is so much soil to shift though!
I have bought a metal galvanised shed, gets delivered in 15-20 days.
Also bought 50' of logging, for the edge of the flower beds!

Will post more pics when they have done for the day!
Poor guys, been serving them drinks all day, the sweat is pouring off them, it's so hot!

Teagan is being forman again!

Awww good ole Teagan - love the photo of him inspecting the garden LOL

Where did you get your shed from, and if you don't mind me asking, and what kind of price did you pay?

We've just torn ours down because it was too massive and it also sat in the best spot in the garden, so we're on the prowl for a smaller shed.

The logging is going to look amazing Good for you getting help, I was crazy enough to dig up the garden on my own - boy was that hard work

Can't wait to see the pictures - poor men though it is soooo hot today!

I have decided to buy a galvanised steel one. It has a 12 year anti-rust guarentee.
Wooden ones have too much upkeep - treating wood to stop it rotting, roofs blowing off etc.

Ordered it from a website, as they have offers on, and it seems cheaper than B&Q/homebase etc.

This is the one we have gone for:

End of day 2:

Finished digging out for big patio.
2 more trenches need to be dug either side for edgings.
Edgings on grass, to be put in tomorrow morning.

Last flower bed created.
All wooden plants keeping muck in, will be changed to logging edging!

Edgings for patio are being layed, and stones/hardcore are being put down for the base!
Poor guy, it's boiling outside, and the other guy keeps leaving him to do it alone!!
