Shedding more light in a shed!

Positioning the lead roof

Chris's (really neat!) lead welding

Heavy showers didn't stop potting shed progress today. Chris arrived with a triangular oriel window frame (which he'd been slyly making on his own!) and some rather neat (dare I even say girlie sized?) welding equipment. We dug around for some lead left overs and found enough to weld together and make a top for the the window. I did have a go at welding but alas, it failed the Genever Test of Excellence miserably  I was allowed however to cut out the scallops. It fitted perfectly allowing Chris to glaze it and it really does look a real delight. With the cleverly designed overhang, water is drained off and away from the window frame. It gives a new view of the garden, adds great character and detail. More importantly; it sheds additional light to a working area. More photos
