Against all the odds, the fabled “Lost Shed of Olde Hinckley Town” was indeed delivered here yesterday. Things were looking up, and I thought that the situation had been resolved.
Sadly, it wasn't to be.
This morning I went out to begin assembling the thing, but the exercise was short-lived after I had one of those "WTF?" moments. The tools were packed away again and I arrived at the store a few minutes later. Rather foolishly, the staff had neglected to don their flak-jackets...
Right, Sir, what can we do for you?
Well, you could start by not sending me a shed with a skewed plain end that's clearly been assembled by feckin' morons and then quality-checked by Ray Charles!
Oh. Oh dear. How bad is it?
We went into the back yard and found another 7x7 strapped up as a bundle, as delivered from the supplier. I helped the assistant to take the required panel from the bundle, and set it aside on a trolley, ready to be sent to me.
The replacement panel will be here mañana, allegedly.

I thnk it has olde worlde charm. It will look like that after a few months anway, surely? (especially if I was to erect it...)
You might have made a good point there, Alan - it's advertised as a two-door shed, maybe there was a typo and it should have read "Tudor shed". 😕
Personally, I reckon they're taking the Pisa 🙂
