Think we need a bit more info. Is the shed bolted to the slabs or held down by its own weight? By slabs do you mean paving slabs similar to those used to make paths, and if so were these laid specifically as a based for the shed or were they there as a patio? Is the area around the shed flat, or are there any slopes falling towards it? My initial thought is to move or carefully dismantle the shed and put down a minimum 150mm thick concrete slab with suitable Damp proof membrane on 50mm sand and min 150mm sub-base/ well compacted hardcord. If you want to insulate it put minimum 50mm PIR rigid insulation (kingspan Thermafloor or similar) under the slab with a polyethene separation layer between them. This will help protect against frost Area of the slab should be slightly larger than the shed to give you room for error and ideally the fininshed slab level should be above the external ground level (say 50mm step). Found this video on Youtube and there seem to be a fair few others. As for insulating walls this can backfire if you are not careful particularly as its a metal structure. You could find the retrofit insulation increases the condensation build up leading to rust and corrosion. Theres lots of talk about the benfits of retrofitting buildings to improve energy effiency but not alot of this warns of the consequences of getting it wrong. Seen cases were people packed their lofts with extra insulation only to find their ceilings turning black because they hadn't put in tile vents to maintain the required cross flow ventilaiton. If the orginal building isn't designed to be insulated to modern levels, doing so can go spectacularly wrong. Personally I think if you are really serious about using this for a gym you might find it cheaper in the long run to buy a new shed which comes with insulation already built into the roof and wall panels.

Just a goal, any goal will do

Given Denmark put 8 past the Moldovans, whilst a win against the faroes is a must, a 2-1, 3-1 etc wont do. Minimum 5-0

I reckon it being in the 'AFC' board might have had an impact. I was looking for it during the week and eventually had to do a proper 'search' to release it from its storage spot next to the Ark of the Covenant -

18months since the last post on this thread (Thought it was in the 'football' section. Perhaps it should be) Following on from their little trip to Brora they lost at home to Queen of the South and fans had a little protest outside the stadium. -
Red tops claiming Russell has been given the all clear to work with the dons whilst keeping his englandshire role

Did folk used to say Claude Makelele didnt do anything, but when he was injured or suspended his teams suffered?
-
Brewster had a big impact and Id say he was pinnacle in the Dons fininshing 3rd that season. 9 games, 4 goals and set up the equaliser at Tynecastle all at the tender age of 41. As for McNamara......

Perhaps sort out the recent lack of crosses

From Golspie by any chance?

Brora currently 1-0 up against Hearts

And the much maligned Stewart Milne wasn't/ isn't?

Your choice of the term 'forgive and forget' is the problem.

I think you just dug yourself a bigger hole with that last bit

Rico OOT Wee Toon Red Hanging on by piece of dental floss Last time I recall feeling like this about a season was 2009-10. Dons only score 36 league goals that season. With 5 games to go they have only scored 32.......... Rules: 1. One name per points tally for the season, first come first served! 2. Only allowed to change prediction until closure of January transfer window as along as it is to an empty tally. 74 - MBT 73 72 71 70 69 68 - danthedon 67 - RicoS321 66 - Manc_don 65 64 - Wee Toon Red 63 62 - BigAl 61 60 - Jute 59 58 - Elgindon 57 56 55 54 - Tom_Widdows 53 52 51 50 49 ------- Previous Champions: 2009-10: Dave_min (41 points) 2010-11: BigAl (38 points) 2011-12: Snapper (41 points) 2012-13: Tyrant (48 points) 2013-14: 2014-15: Dandy (75 points) 2015-16: Dandy (retained due to no correct scorer) 2016-17: Rico (76 points - Flawless Victory. Nothing questionable about it at all) 2017-18: Tom (73 points) 2018-19: DantheDon (67points) 2019-20: No winner - DantheDon retains title following an independent inquiry
