Putting a Shed Together With a Cordless Drill
My stepson knows he doesn't know everything but he acts like he knows a lot about what he does know. Which can come across as fairly controlling and patronising when I consider it. But maybe I'm wrong. Maybe he's just very helpful. At least that's what I believe now after we worked together recently putting up a 6 foot by 4 foot shiplap garden shed at my house, thanks in part to the use of his very versatile cordless drill.
I bought the shed online, from a well-known retailer, at a discounted price. Made from wood from properly managed forests, and looking quite neat and tidy on the photograph on the web site, I had previously considered other types of sheds. The metal ones looked a bit easier to put together, and maybe stronger, but they seemed like they would feel cold, and maybe rust after a lot of time in the weather we have here. The plastic sheds looked very easy to put together, almost like Lego pieces. But they looked like they would get very hot in the summer, and maybe get blown over in high winds.
After much consideration, and plenty of time in DIY stores and on DIY web sites, I felt that wood was the best all round material for a garden shed in which to store our garden tools, power tools, leisure and sports equipment and anything else which we could fit into it that was better off in there than in the house.
The shed arrive in pieces that I laid carefully out on the decking. Unfortunately some pieces were damaged. The company that made the sheds was very helpful and the replacement parts arrived the next day by courier, at no extra cost to me.
But I needed help putting it up. The rest of the family were out most of the weekend but my stepson volunteered enthusiastically to help me put the shed together. First of all we put the door together, and this where the brilliant Black and Decker cordless drill came into use. The screws went in perfectly, and door was hung in the proper way.
Then the walls went up, and again the cordless drill worked really well. I'd considered using an electric corded drill but given we were moving around, and some way from the nearest power point, the cordless drill was easy and convenient to use, and I'm sure it took us half the time it would have taken us if we'd used the corded drill.
By the time everyone got home the shed was nearly finished. It was just the felt to be nailed around the roof. The shed looked so good, and it was confirmed to me that wood was a great choice of material, as it felt warm on a cold day and cooler on a hot day! If that makes any sense...
Just a shame the door hinges were the wrong way round. But easily solved in minutes thanks to the cordless drill.
