    Artme,

    Yes ... it is easy once one has capitulated and accepts that one's role is to obey.

    While I'll be married (only) 3 years in September I am learning that life is far more comfortable when you let your wife think that you obey ....


    Look forward to the next day bed installment.

    Well ...

    I showed SWMBO the post. I think she was chuffed that I used a cartoon that showed her young and pretty.

    You may be sure that I leveraged her good humour ... enough said.

    Steven,

    The timber is Surian cedar.

    The shed's cleanliness was transformed by the installation of the Clear Vue. I do a proper clean up only every couple of weeks now.

    Construction finished. Now to spray it with poly. Usually, the finish brings out the red in the timber ... here's hoping!
