Poor Mrs Barker, I can only imagine her troddling off to do her scrapbooking in the SEA CONTAINER No wonder it didnt go down too well hmm hmm Re: Modified Camden supplied by PAAL homes 42Aug 14, 2010 2:30 pm No the second shed was a freebee given to us from my uncle mind you had to go dissmantle it and he lives in Kwinnana then transport it to the block and re assemble it but it was worth it in the end and is going to become the garden shed 8 x 4 metres not a bad size shed.
