Making the shelter

One of our priorities when we were planning about the things to do in the allotment, it was to find a place where we would can save our tools close to the garden, because actually we are taking the tools from the bees garage and carry them until the garden… more o less15 minutes walking… long way for carrying the tools.. :S.

So, we decide to divide the shelter in two different place, one is going to be the shelter which we are speaking about, it will be more or less a rectangular of 2mx5m9Im,or something like that, we think is enough to keep all of the tool we will use, and then the another part of the shelter which we want to be the place to rest, take a tea…a place warm and covered :p. This places will be call the office :P… in fact we have already the telephone…we found it between a lot of rubbish in the garden :D

Anyway, we start very motivated and encouraged to built the shelter,we thought the shelter(only the part of the tools) could be built just in 3 or even 4 days of work, because the only thing we had to do was to carry on with a wall, building the roof and putting a door .You can think that this can be easy for 3 people,even more! because during this days there were a lot of people hleping us, "squoter",short-term volunteer, friends of us...but to be honest, this wall is the devil! We have worked in this shelter, I cant remember how many days, and although it seems already more or less a really shelter, its not finish yet and I think to finish the shelter we need al list 4 or 5 days more :S….

Here I put some photos about the evolution of our shelter, you can make a idea about the work.
