Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!

Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!

Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.

So, how’s it going?

Oooh, I didn't notice that. Do you like the garden beds? Do they do ok filled with soil for years?

They’re showing a small bit of rust, but I’m using them partially buried as the ground wasn’t level, so I don’t expect them to last forever. I think they’re coming up on 4 years now. They were the only ones I could find that had a long narrow configuration (2.5M x 90cm) that I wanted at the time.

It was this one: https://www.steelmates.co.nz/garden-shed/planter-box/plant-box-new-model-with-4-layout-options-grey

Ah that's cool, the one kit can be assembled in different layouts. I might come back to this once I've had recovery time from building this shed 😆

Haha, unless they’ve changed the design, they don’t need much drilling and no rivets. Just need to make a couple of holes and use screws at each of the reinforcement points on the top/bottom rails

Well it says screwless design, no tools needed, so I guess they have changed the design.

Well there you go!
