Can I just say it took 3 OF US to do the slabs for this shed!! :shock::shock::shock: the shed isn't level, so the door jams into the mud when you open it, so obviously, putting slabs in front of the door just made it worse. It took Chelle, then Russ, then me to dig a hole 1ftx1ftx2ft just in order to loosen the mud, redistribute it, and then refill ( :evil: ) it just to get it flat! But the door now opens without catching :D
 
It was a lovely day, lovely to meet everyone and of course all the bunnys.

And I completely agree with the shed doors jamming on the slabs, I thought it would be an easy 'carry the slabs down and wack them on the soil', but oh no, a lot of digging and soil re-distribution was needed (luckily lots of holes to put said soil due to lots of cheeks bunny burrowing). I am definately feeling it today-the muscles in my back ache.

All in aid of a good cause though :D

well said!:lol::lol: and the funniest thing about this shed & run was there were no bunnies in it! Vicky - the lady who volenteers & was boss for the day said they had gone somewhere for some reason or other!:roll::lol:

Thank goodness for Russ...my digging was slacking after a while!:lol:
