Half a shed wall

I'm not sure whether this is a shed or a greenhouse any more, but we built half the end wall yesterday, using bits of old pallets from local shops. It was a bit soggy to start with, so it took a little while to get to the halfway point.



The bits of wood are slightly green because I'd given them a coat of wood preservative before I put them on. The second coat went on once they were attached to the shed.



Things brightened up and it got finished. Here's what it looks like. It's a lot greener now and I'm not sure if I should give it one more coat. Laura has mentioned that she'd like to paint it green, but has changed her mind slightly after seeing the preservative. We'll decide in the spring anyway.



We went down to the allotment today with some more pallets and the temperature inside the shed was 19 degrees C. That bodes well for the finished article.



The next stage is the other side, once the new pallets are dry enough for the preservative.
