My first trip to Wickes in four years, and not much has changed. There is still the food truck in the car park dishing out those gorgeous egg and bacon rolls. There is still the row of cash registers with only one person on them, and customers moaning about it.
I collected the timber I needed for the shed refurb, wheeling it carefully around the store trying not to cause injury to poor unexpected customers.
Loading it into the back of the Shogun I was excited to start.
First I had to remove all the old siding, it was pretty far gone, it was a bit disheartening but I’ve started, no turning back.
I started building a wooden framework which the new cladding will fix to, then the rain started, I pulled up the stumps and ran for cover.
The rain did ease off just long enough to walk to get some some fish and chips, I had wanted some for a long time, it was delicious.
