I remember your discussion of how you built your observing shed .... I must admit, I'm moving in a similar direction.

Your off-the-ground platform floor idea inspired my Option B (shed butted up against my garage).
Sloping back yards are a bummer.
Good engineers aren't scared of using other people's ideas if they are good ideas.
I'm still waiting for the concreter who subs for the sheds place in Cardiff to do a quote for my slab .... he's pretty reliable (not) by the looks of it. Think I'll try someone else for a concrete slab quote. Memories of my experiences when I had the double garage built ..... concreter turned up, dug about a bit and disappeared for 4 months and was always coming back next week , wound up sacking him and getting someone else and told him he could kiss goodbye any payment from me for the work he'd done .... I never paid him.
Yet to visit the sheds place too.
Anyone in Newcastle area know of a good , cheap , reliable concreter ?
