Mr P had bought an enormous meccano set and needed GoodGym's help to turn it into shed!

When Ellie and I arrived, we were greeted with a large number of panels, an enormous number of screws, and a very small amount of instructions. It's fair to say that we were a little bit daunted!

Luckily, Ellie soon got to work on interpreting the diagrams and we set about working out which bits were meant to be attached to what and how. It turned out that the 'how' mostly involved screwing them together, which was a slight shame as there was only one screwdriver. Nevertheless, we were off!

The shed roof started to take shape, and things got even better when Mr P found another screwdriver. This turned out to be a tad on the wonky side, but we weren't going to let that put us off.

After an hour or so Leanne came to help us out, having come straight from another mission nearby - Double Deeds Saturday! We pressed on, with just a little bit of mutual stealing of the straight screwdriver and managed to get the roof completed before it was time to go.

Mr P was very grateful for what we'd managed to do, but there was still a lot of shed to go, so GoodGym may be back to help out again. Bring a screwdriver!
